3rd Week In January 2009 Summary

It was the third week of January 2009 that we experienced an historical event and journey culminating, January 20, 2009, as American's 44th president and vice-president were sworn in amongst millions who had journeyed to the capitol to witness history in the making. Some of us watch diligently as CNN.com LIVE broadcasted this historically event. We all took that journey with the 44th President. There were Ups and Downs and hard work ahead for all of us in restoring, renewing America's diplomacy around the world. We have come along way in the last year with many firsts accumulating along the way.

We are and were not so naive -- we understood that one person can not do it alone. We have finally elected a president and leader of intelligence and diplomacy that can lead and handle multiple-tasking without displaying and using fear to control the America citizens. We also learned that it would take hard work from all of us working together, united to regain the respect, trust that America and ALL deserve around the World. It would take us ALL coming together in America's melting pot to renew, review our history and continue what our patriots began 233 years ago (1776). Leaving the extreme right hate-mongers to destroy themselves in the process over this last year of 2009.

I have looked back to my ancestors and find that I am a product of Dutch, Welsh, English, Scottish, German, Austria-Hungary (Bohemian) and even Russia. My ancestors were apart of that melting pot of Americans.

I also remember another year not so long ago, twenty years or so ago, in 1988 & 1990, when "Do-Right, Dynamite, Dorthy (spelled with one "o") McGill, ran for office in Northwest Oklahoma for State Representative District 58 with the slogan, "Together we can do it!"

Twenty years later we have noticed others have taken up that grass roots movement with a slogan of their own, such as, "Yes we can! -- Yes We did!" ? Restoring our hopes and dreams along the way. It is time for us all to remember ? We are a people with common hopes, dreams and differences. We ALL deserve respect for our differences and beliefs. Let us squash the angry, hatred and fear and replenish the hopes and dreams of ALL Americans!

It is time for ALL to come together -- to restore those hopes, dreams, respect and trust that we all deserve and need. This is a land of promise for ALL Americans! We ALL deserve the same healthcare plans that our US congressmen and other government employees are offered. We all deserve the choice of a "single payer" or "public" (or whatever you want to call it) option. Big, private insurance scrooges and their flunky congressperson and lobbyists should start using that over $6 millions of dollars to the betterment of insuring the American citizens, instead of lining the pockets of Congresspersons and Lobbyists.
