Thank You... "Madagascar I like to move music video"... You Tube
["Madagascar I like to move music video"; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0x3W6hutEj8; as Submitted to YOU TUBE by SgtGaruru on July 14, 2007]
I just wanted to post a brief note to thank the many kind and generous people that I have come in contact with since beginning this party-planning for the Obama Inauguration party at the Muddy Cup.
Some folks associated with the Obama-Biden Transition Team are busy, busy, busy --- and very gracious!
The folks at the Kingston Muddy Cup have been very open to working with me.
Some folks associated with Ulster County Democratic Women ha been very receptive / kind.
A woman associated with Hudson Valley for Obama has freely offered advice and assistance.
One of the local Aldermen has committed to coming --- and another has given a sincere (I believe!) maybe...
A couple of folks higher up on the political chain have also promised to stop by if they are able (This is, as you might guess, a very busy night for politicians!)...
A local journalist / activist has agreed to say a few words.
A number of newspapers and radio stations have accepted my Press Release promptly - and the Kingston "Daily Freeman" already posted (just a day or so after I sent it) one brief.
I have a couple of good karaoke singers lined up already!
And I could go on and on...
But! To keep this kinda' short (Perhaps I'll be able to give a full, although general listing, after the event!) - for now I just want to say thank you, thank you, thank you...
And put in a plug to keep this momentum going (for many of us, against some pretty tough odds!) right on through this new (hopefully to bring a number of positive changes) year!
With a Renewed Respect for a Whole Lot of Folks in the local and larger community!
Oh yeah! I would certainly be remiss if I didn't say a public thank you to Ms. J. Jacobs, local Republican Party Chairperson - and blogger (See "Jacobs Live People for People"} - for agreeing to come to the event and say a few words, as well! This (on Ms. Jacob's part) is extremely gracious, courageous and HOPEFUL (in terms of a budding congeniality between parties) - and I sincerely believe that Ms. Jacobs is (despite our different Party affiliations) - a premier community (especially, from what I have seen, in regard to community youth / school-related issues) activist!

My Inaugural [Barack Obama 2009] Poem (Copyright, NS)
My New Year's oath To you and me Was to become All I can be
To live my muse Pursue my dreams With every drop Of energy...
And courage Drawn up from My toes...
The fear I've known... The fear I've known...
Handcuffed and chained To walls of pain This year, I say, "No more."
And, as I stand Before you now A poet, dreamer, Silly clown...
To celebrate Obamas day...
I have to say... I have to say...
Though I am white My oath is true
My commitment firm I've much to do
For I am, indeed, A lot like you...
My freedom card Long overdue.
And, although each day Can be tough to face
It is worth the price Because all our fates
Depend on you... Depend on me...
On everyone struggling To be free...
From the pain That holds us back
(So much locked up inside)
Speaking its truth... Speaking its truth...
Through all the tears We've cried...
I really tried to hide... I really tried to hide...
But this is the year... This Is the year...
That I've been Waiting for...
This is the year... This is the year...
I finally say, "No more."
And join The chorus Of voices Singing...
"We can!"
