The Underground Experience Presents The Mason Ewing Project!

For someone who endured an ugly past, fashion designer and audiovisual producer Mason Ewing manages to paint a beautiful picture in his head.

Ewing has been blind since he was 14. He says it was the result of constant physical abuse at the hands of his uncle and aunt while he was living with them in Choisy-le-Roi near Paris.

He remembers being locked up in a room for days, beaten on the back of the head for reasons he could not remember, and sauce poured over his eyes that cost him his sight. His injuries became so severe he was hospitalized and in a coma for three months. He underwent three head surgeries and nearly died.

Ewing has little recollection of his American father, who was absent for much of his young life and died in 2010. Ewing was left in the care of his great grandmother in Douala, Cameroon, before being adopted by his uncle and aunt when he was 6.

To his credit, Ewing never allowed his disability nor his painful history to stop him from realizing his dream.

His passion for art and unabashed love for American films drove him to start his own company. He founded Les Enterprises Ewing in 2007, a corporation that spawned animated videos “The Adventures of Madison” and “Mickey Boom.” Ewing says he chose to invest his time in the video realm because he wanted to be the vehicle for disability, homosexuality, and racism.

The Mason Ewing clothing line pays homage to his late mother, Marie Francesca Elong, who died when Ewing was 3. The “M” on Ewing’s T-shirts stands for his mother’s name.

Printed on Ewing’s Madison Collection is a black baby with blues eyes and angel wings. The Baby Madison logo symbolizes Ewing Corporation’s idealism. It connects all races and cultures, a belief Ewing subscribes to having been subjected to heavy discrimination when he was struggling to survive in France.

The French-speaking artist has crafted various designs that have been worn at several shows in Paris. His Marie Antoinette-inspired designs in November 2008 was a commercial success and the silk wedding dress he created was worn on the fashion parade by French beauty queen Rachel Legrain Trapani.

Ewing decided to move his business to the United States this year in order to grow his brand, recently setting up his office in downtown Los Angeles on Figueroa Street. He has several projects in the works, including the biggest African movie studios, “Ewingwood,” set to begin in 2013.

He plans to expand his Mason Ewing brand in New York, with assistance from the Braille Institute, to help blind people recognize colors with the aid of touch.

Ewing Corporation’s Los Angeles office is located at 601 S. Figueroa St., Suite 4050. For more information about Mason Ewing and Ewing Corporation, visit www.ewingcorporation.us or e-mail: entertainment@ewingcorporation.us

Mike McCready/Music Xray at UCLA !

Music Xray co-founder & CEO, Mike McCready guest speaking at UCLA Anderson School of Management about business model innovation as it pertains to Music Xray and the new music industry

Mike McCready guest speaking on May 7, 2012 at UCLA

Anderson School of Management for IESE

The music space has changed so much over the past decade

that business model innovation is inevitable. Some people will resist.

Sone will get angry. Some will try to hold on to the way things used to be

because it’s working for them.

Many of those people will unfortunately be left behind,

out-competed by their contemporaries who embrace change

as has happened time and time again over the course of human history

(pockets, the Internet, rock and roll… all just fads).

When an easier, more efficient way of doing something exists

and that way actually gets better results,

no one wants to go back to the hard way.

Read about Music Xray’s business model innovation here.

Get a quick overview of how Music Xray works here.

The Underground Experience Presents The Silvers Family!

The Silvers Family – A Legacy of Love

There’s love in my blood

It flows through my veins

It comes from my family

And in my heart love remains

(Excerpt from the song, Heritage written by Joie-May and John Silvers)

Mom: Wendy Silvers is an Agape Spiritual Counselor, Speaker, Blissful Parenting /Guilt-Free Mothering Mentor; and the creator of the MILLION MAMAS MOVEMENT, a grass roots, global movement to empower mothers and others to unify and exercise their innate maternal power to create greater freedom safety and opportunities for mamas and children everywhere.

Dad: John Silvers is an award winning actor and singer/songwriter who has performed professionally to great acclaim throughout the United States and Europe. In addition to performing, he has taught improvisational acting techniques and songwriting to teens in drug rehab and to prison inmates preparing for release. The creative outlet John provided to these individuals was vital in helping them to express their thoughts and feelings and to know that their voices matter. John is dedicated to uplifting and inspiring people through the arts and contributing to the creation of a more peaceful and loving world.

Daughter: Joie-May Silvers is an eleven year old, singer/songwriter, actress, dancer and model. She made her stage debut at the Los Angeles Music Center at the ripe young age of three, singing with the Agape Youth Choir at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion. She has worked with such well known artists as Will I Am (The Black-Eyed Peas), Jason Mraz. and Naurally 7. She has also performed on the Ellen DeGeneres show and the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Her name, Joie-May, translates as “Great Joy,” which is exactly the gift she brings to the world through her artistry.

Past: The Silvers family has a rich history of social activism. As the Los Angeles chapter leader of the Congress of Racial Equality (C.O.R.E.) in 1964, John’s father, Arthur Silvers, showed Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. through L.A. on his visit to California. Arthur was also a chapter president of the NAACP and founded his own organization for non-violence, called Peace Acts. From his own perspective as a multi-racial American, John followed in his father’s footsteps with the release of his award winning song, Black/White & Red/White & Blue, which plainly declares “You cannot hate me and love yourself too. Cause you’re part of me and I’m part of you. Black/White and Red/White and Blue.” In addition, through the performance of such original songs as Love is Thicker than Blood and Heritage, the father and daughter team of John and Joie-May have consistently opened the hearts and touched the souls of their fans.

Present: Through the vision of mama, Wendy, the Silvers family is carrying on the tradition of creative social leadership with the Million Mamas March and Movement. Wendy’s vision will be lovingly supported by the musical talents of Joie-May and John and the event will feature such well known speakers as Marianne Williamson and Dr. Michael Bernard Beckwith.

Future: Through a commitment to their own spiritual growth and unfoldment , as well as to the advancement of social consciousness throughout the planet, Wendy, John and Joie-May Silvers individually and collectively are stepping boldly into the roles of leadership. Through the full expression of their love for each other and for humanity, the Silvers family is at the forefront of social transformation and the expansion of society toward greater peace and harmony.

MILLION MAMAS MOVEMENT

Wendy Silvers, the founder of the Million Mamas Movement™, said today, “We are not One Million Moms and we have no affiliation with that organization.” Silvers, a Los Angeles mom who has been teaching compassionate parenting practices for almost a decade, was recently inspired to create the Million Mamas Movement. It is a grassroots, global movement to empower and engage mothers and others to galvanize and create powerful policies that provide greater peace and safety for mamas and children.

Each year the Million Mamas Movement will address an issue that adversely affects the well-being of mothers and children. It will launch with the inaugural Million Mamas March on Mother’s Day, May 13, 2012, a simultaneous live and virtual event streamed through the technology of Watchitoo at the Washington Monument. This year nonviolence and the elimination of bullying will be addressed and it is the focus of the march. Speakers at the march include Marianne Williamson, Michael Beckwith, Rickie Byars Beckwith, Kathy Eldon, Shajen Joy Aziz, and Vinca Heart, with more to be named.

It is Silvers’ belief that mothers and others joining together in support of mothers and children worldwide will transform the world. Silvers comments, “How the mamas and babies are treated and the way we mother our children and ourselves reveals the well-being of our society.”

Broken Spirits will invite readers to experience two stories of oppression and social injustice faced by cousins Averette and King. It will focus on Averette’s fight with working in corporate America and King’s fight against police brutality, which plagues inner city communities worldwide.

To commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Los Angeles Riots, Broken Spirits: A Letter To My Cousin Rodney G. King is slated to release on Friday, April 27, 2012

The Underground Experience Presents Author/Activist Michele L. Waters!

Wednesday 4/25/12 4pm (PST) on KCLA & Thursday 4/26/12 9am (PST)/9pm (PST) on KLED Live

The Underground Experience Presents Author/Activist Michele L. Waters!

Join us as we discuss Life, Liberty and The Pursuit Of Equality & Justice…..

Michele L. Waters

Alumni of Long Beach City College where she received an A.A. in Radiology and University of La Verne where she earned her B.A. in Business Administration, Waters has had more than 10 years as an entrepreneur and more than 20 years in the healthcare industry working with renown medical facilities Cedars Sinai Hospital and Kaiser. With her husband by her side, they founded H&W Adult Residential Homes where they provided two nurturing homes for developmentally challenged adults for 10 years.

Aside from the homes, the dynamic duo founded Dream Makers Unlimited, Inc., a real estate investment company where they currently have an inventory of 10 investment properties. Besides her duties as a wife, mother, working full time and managing two companies, Waters escaped the tiresome, but rewarding lifestyle through writing and as a result authored her first novel Can’t Let Go in 2009 and followed with Through the Eyes of My Mulatto Daughter in 2010. Named a finalist of the INDIE Awards, Waters has also grasped the attention of Towson University where her second novel is utilized by the prestigious Dr. Walter Gill for his diversity class.

Misdiagnosed with MS in 2000, and after spending the first couple of years upset, depressed and living in fear with the thought of having this disease that she did not have, Waters felt that this was God’s way of motivating her to view and live life with a whole new perspective. Her personal story is one of courage, patience and faith that aided her to a path of self-determination, self-motivation and strong will. Her writing style is simple, sophisticated; yet full of suspense.

With Can’t Let Go and Through the Eyes of My Mulatto Daughter, Waters has proven to begin a successful track record to challenge the likes of her colleagues within the literary world. Waters states that by “God’s grace and support of family and friends, she is relentlessly inspired to never put off or not attempt to try to accomplish something based on fear.”

LOS ANGELES, CA – Broken Spirits: A Letter To My Cousin Rodney G. King, is an exclusive memoir of Rodney King’s confidant, business partner and cousin Ontresicia Averette will be published by Crystall Clear Publishing.

“…I poured all of my heart and strength into protecting you from the venomous hatred spewed out from communities when you disappointed them, time and time again. I tried to help you manage your stress, and made sure you had adequate legal representation for the aftermath when you couldn’t. I stood up for you when no one else, genuinely, would…” Excerpt from Broken Spirits: A Letter To My Cousin Rodney G. King

To commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Los Angeles Riots, Broken Spirits: A Letter To My Cousin Rodney G. King is slated to release on Friday, April 27, 2012

Broken Spirits Limited Edition copies featuring the autographs of Averette and Waters will be available for pre-sales through www.crystallclearpublishing.com and www.michelelwaters.com.

CHARLES LOCKE

Charles Locke began playing piano at the age of 12, the guitar at 14 and before graduating high school in Boston he had already written over 300 songs. And now, more than 4000 original songs later, he is still writing everyday as effortlessly as breathing. He has also written 4 books and for the last 3 years he has been writing celebrity stories every month for a magazine sold in New England and New York City.

He has played guitar and sang with Jesse Ed Davis (who played on some of John Lennon’s solo albums), Tom Petty, Paul Simon, Gene Clark from the Byrds, Spencer Davis, Buddy Miles; he sang “We are the World” on the stage with Michael Jackson live on TV at the Grammy’s and he has worked with everyone from Brittany Spears, Mariah Carey and Johnny Cash to Bob Dylan and The Rolling Stones.

Words of wisdom. If you’re in school and they ask you to prove the law of gravity, throw the teacher out the window ((*o^)) !!! Have a great day! (unless you made other plans) … Sincerely … Charles Locke

CHRIS VALENTI

If you‘ve ever been frustrated by a relationship and you have a distorted, but healthy sense of humor, then Chris Valenti is the comic for you. Chris tells jokes and performs songs that ring painfully and hilariously true to anyone who has ever attempted dating.

On his new musical comedy album, LIVE EMOTIONAL WRECKAGE, released by New Wave Dynamics, Valenti shares stories of struggles, blunders, and missed opportunities we all endure. His songs tackle politics – “I Want To Be Your Intern, Female President Clinton”, technology – “Please Don’t Text Someone While I’m Making Love To You”, and he even festively released a upbeat single for Christmas for the lonely entitled “Single For Christmas.“ His live show is part music, part comedy, part therapy, and part romance as well as action, adventure, mystery and sometimes horror. A philosopher of love usually, the kind of love that did not exactly make it to that ‘happily ever after‘ place.

A hopeful romantic with a wry sense of humor, Chris has the knack for using self-deprecation and vulnerability to weave stories about the hazards and frustrations of love and attempted relationships. He‘s become the cheerful motivator for the unlucky in love, because the best cure for a broken heart is laughing at someone else‘s.

Chris is also an actor and filmmaker. Remember the Da Da Da – Sunday Afternoon Volkswagen commercial? Well that was Chris Valenti driving. He also appeared in the feature film “17 Again,“ and has written, produced, and starred in two feature films, including multi-festival award winner, “Sensitive Johnson,“ a romantic comedy about a tenderhearted musician with a premature ejaculation problem. Chris has made dozens of award winning short films for FunnyOrDie.com.

Musical Artists Include: Charles Locke, Chris Valenti & Nsikan

“The Underground Experience with Uncle Earl” Presents Actor/Rap Artist Derek ‘Dialysus’ Simmons!

Derek Simmons – DMoney – DialySuS

Born on March 12, 1989…and that’s when it started! A lot of people probably wonder how or why I have the name “DialySuS.” Well at first, I had the name DMoney. This was a nickname given to me by many of my peers. It was a chain reaction, one person, then another, and then everyone! However, due to life experiences, and advice from my older brother, I decided that DialySuS would be a better fit.

At the age of 10

I was diagnosed with a kidney disease. This disease became worse over the years, and in February of 2006 I had to go on dialysis. This was an everyday thing for awhile. I was hooked up to a machine 10 hours a day, 7 days a week. Dialysis is “the process by which uric acid and urea are removed from circulating blood by means of a dialyzer. ” In a sense, you could say that dialysis “flushes” out your system. I like to think of the hip hop world as a “system.”

A lot of artists nowadays use inappropriate language in their songs.

I, “DialySuS, pride myself in saying that i don’t curse in my songs. In a way, I say that I am “flushing” out the hip hop system, therefore, giving myself the name DialySuS. With much prayer, family, and friend support, I was lucky enough to have a perfect match for a new kidney: My father. On July 12, 2006 I had a kidney transplant at St. Barnabas Hospital. After 6 other surgeries I was finally released from the hospital on August 26, 2006.

After I was released, I wrote a song about my life and received a lot of compliments.

This encouraged me to keep going and I feel I got better and better with time. Now, I am where i’m at today. “I been through the pain, i been through the tears, held it down for myself, and held it down for my peers, I been through the struggle, i been through it all they tried to knock me down, but I’m still standin tall” SO NOW….SHOW ME SOME LOVE!

Musical Artists Include:Derek ‘Dialysus’ Simmons, Anthony Alongi, J. Dash & Lara Johnston, Rael Borg vs Janet Jackson!

The Underground Experience Presents Musician/Composer/Author – Mr. Tony Newton aka The Groove Monster!

Join us as we delve into His New CD “ThunderFunkFusion”…..His Book “Gold Thunder”…..His Film “Legacy Of Gold” & His LIFE!!!!!

History notes that a fallen apple was the inspiration for Sir Isaac Newton’s Theories of universal gravitation. But legendary Fusion Master-Musician-Composer Antonio (Tony) Newton, founder of Los Angeles-based world-rock-fusion orchestra Vanguard, — never had much time for apple orchards. Recording studios and concert stages were his classrooms.

John Lee Hooker, Smokey Robinson, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Gary Moore and Allan Holdsworth were his classmates. Drawing from this wealth of experience and professional relationships, Newton has emerged as a multifaceted composer/producer and musician (vocals, electric bass, and keyboards) and applied his pioneering concepts in harmony theory and composition to successfully integrate a variety of musical genres. Strap yourself in for some heart stopping, spirit moving, mind-bending musical expression.

Newton was discovered by Motown Executive Hank Cosby while playing in Detroit Blues clubs at the age of 18. He was chosen to replace James Jamerson as touring bassist with Smokey Robinson and the Miracles. Within two years Newton became Music Director. He also toured with all of the Motown Artists such as: Diana Ross and the Supremes, Martha and the Vandellas, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Four Tops, Temptations, Michael Jackson and the Jackson 5, Spinners, and others.

While at Motown from time to time, playing with the “Funk Brothers” he left his trademark of solid, hard driving, and deftly clever grooves on such timeless hits as “Where Did Our Love Go”, “Baby Love”, “Stop In The Name Of Love”, “Nowhere to Run” on the east coast, and on the west coast, “ABC’, “Never Can Say Goodbye”, “Don’t Leave Me This Way“, and many others. Also a little unknown fact is that Newton and James Jamerson played together as 2 basses on the above Motown Hits. Newton was also the bassist for the famed 1965 European Motown Review tour, mentioned in the film, “Standing in the Shadows of Motown“.

Musical Artist: TONY NEWTON!!!!!!!!!!

The Underground Experience Presents Richard Rosser & “Piggy Nation”

Uncle Earl — Thu, 01 Mar 2012 02:03:55 +0000

Hello All Underground Dwellers…..I want to call your attention to RICHARD ROSSER — Entertainer, children’s author, musical composer, motivational speaker and creator of “Piggy Nation” ….. a series of books that present a positive message to kids AND parents in an amusing update of the “golden rule.”

Richard Rosser – Creator of “Piggy Nation”

Momentum is rapidly mounting for “Piggy Nation” with the creation of a comic strip (already appearing in the Oklahoma City Sunday Oklahoman) and his newest children’s chapter book “Piggy Nation: Let’s Go Camping.”

Having worked in children’s programming at Nickelodeon and The Disney Channel, Rosser notes that his children’s books are a natural outlet to vent his frustration with piggy behavior. Teaming with illustrator Shane Sowell (The Simpsons, King of the Hill), the two have created a family of fun characters and real-life situations.

Rosser performs and speaks at school assemblies, community groups, civic clubs and organizations.

Musical Artists Include: The Cast of Piggy Nation, Fang-I Lui & The Grown Ups!

Richard Rosser – Creator of “Piggy Nation”

Entertainer, children’s author, cartoonist, musical composer and motivational speaker Richard Rosser has taken on the task of ridding the world of “piggy behavior” and bad etiquette. After watching someone take a parking space from his mother-in-law, Rosser decided it was enough! No more drivers parking in two spaces. No more dogs pooping on neighbors’ lawns. No more leaving the toilet seat up. No more texting while driving. No more cell phones ringing in the movie theatre.

Rosser is the creator of “Piggy Nation,” a series of children’s books that focus on piggy behavior and presenting a positive message to youngsters in an amusing update of the “Golden Rule.” “Piggy Nation” was launched in 2010 with “Piggy Nation The Musical,” which was performed by middle school students at The Pierson Playhouse in Pacific Palisades, California.

Rosser performs and speaks at school assemblies, community groups, civic clubs and organizations.

Musical Artists Include: The Cast of Piggy Nation, Fang-I Lui & The Grown Ups!

The Underground Experience Presents Uncle Earl’s Birthday Jam featuring Pop/Electro Dance Artists Porter & Jaymie Elliott and Mr. Chris Dupre – Producer/Director/Choreographer & Founder of True Vision Entertainment!

COME ONE….COME ALL….ON A BIRTHDAY CELEBRATORY JOURNEY WITH ME AND A FEW FRIENDS….IT’S GONNA BE SPECIAL!!!!!!!!!!

Porter and Jaymie Elliott are a completely original duo. While their pop music is very commercial, it still embodies a high level of integrity and artistic substance. They are their own studio creation, not relying on any outside writers/producers and are ready to release their vision of music, art and fashion to the world, IF the world is ready for them…

Not ones to rely on just their capable voices, they are true “show people,” staging their shows with dancers, wardrobe changes and high energy. Porter writes most of the material and co-produces it with Jaymie Elliott who has a very defined vision for what she wants to deliver to the audience.

Porter learned music producing directly from one of the most famous and successful music producers in the business, Narada Michael Walden. Walden, who worked with such industry icons as Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston, saw the talent and drive in the young musician and brought him on as one of his associate producers. Porter’s main influences are other self-contained music machines like Prince and George Michael. Porter and Jaymie Elliott’s sound takes pages out of Katy Perry, Britney Spears and Black Eyed Peas.

They are already working on new music and are always working on their live performances, something they take very seriously. Today, they are some of the most talented young artists on the scene, writing, producing, singing and performing their own music, with their own band. People who hear them play and see them perform know this is not the same old sound or group. They are artists who have found a way to blend musical categories, old and new styles, and in the process, create something totally unique.

Special Note – See Porter & Jaymie Elliott Next Wed. February 29th @ 7:30pm LIVE at SKINNY’S

4923 Lankershim Blvd. North Hollywood, California

Get Ready For A Jam Packed Hour Of Knowledge, Wisdom, Understanding & Side-Splitting Commentary!

SIYAM

Passion and perseverance have led to the release of Siyam’s debut LP, “Sacred Ceremonial Ground.” Siyam achieved much success from his first release, “My Soul Purpose.” A “great album” review from Jason Pulaski of KUCI 88.9FM, 3 and 1/2 stars from Liam Thomson of stateofemergency.net based in England.

SIYAM

(Pronounced SEE-YOM) was born on Nov. 19 in Santa Monica, Calif. He moved to an unincorporated area between the cities of Arcadia and Monrovia where at an early age, he developed a passion for music. Siyam caught an appearance by Run-DMC and Jam-Master Jay on Dick Clark’s American Bandstand and it was then that he knew hip-hop music was his destiny. LL Cool J, Rakim and the Sugar Hill Gang are some of his influences.

SIYAM

Began creating his own mixes and scratches using his family’s old eight-track unit that had a turntable he used for spinning records with Break Beats. His first recordings were made in 1986, and he went by the name of Def K. Siyam continued his journeys with hip-hop continually writing, rapping, free-styling and performing. In 1992, he began a demo project in Pasadena featuring “Lost in The Darkness which caught attention.,” Siyam approached music directors at Power 106 and his song made it to air on the station’s “Make it or Break it”-type show. Listeners responded favorably to the song, but the show was soon cancelled and Siyam had to find another outlet for his music.

SIYAM

Enrolled in recording engineering classes at Pasadena City College (PCC). It was there that he became friends with music producer Matt Lavella who has produced several of Siyam’s songs. Siyam took a hiatus but believes that some of his best work has been created since the birth of his son. Oct. 2003, Siyam’s hit the radio airwaves again on KUCI-FM (88.9) at U.C. Irvine in regular rotation. Siyam released his 2nd full length album in October 2011 titled, “13 Is The Number” with a compilation Album coming out titled, A Killer’s Point of View.

**********************************************************************

Kevin Alexander Stea is an American dancer, choreographer, actor,Â singer,Â director and model.

Stea was born in Hollywood, California, and is half-Caucasian and half-Chinese. He grew up in various places in the United States (Los Angeles, California; Marlette, Michigan;Â Eugene, Oregon; Milwaukee, Wisconsin;Â and Santa Fe, New Mexico), then completed his high school education in Singapore on a scholarship at the United World College of South East Asia, where he received the International Baccalaureate Diploma. Following that, he went on to the University of Southern California School of Cinema-Television, which he left to pursue a dance career.

A gymnast while in his youth, Stea began dancing seriously while he was at college.

A year after his first dance job, he was hired by Madonna as a dance captain, dancer and assistant choreographer on her 1990 Blond Ambition Tour. Stea appeared several times in the documentary Truth or Dare, which was made about the tour. Subsequently, Stea danced and assisted with choreography for Michael Jackson. He has also worked with numerous other high-profile music acts including Prince, Ricky Martin, Janet Jackson, George Michael,David Bowie, Celine Dion, Macy Gray, Anastacia, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, BeyoncÃ©, Britney Spears, Cher, Christina Aguilera, Tony Bennett, Will.i.am and the Pussycat Dolls.

He also sings and performs under the name That Rogue Romeo.

**********************************************************************************

Welcome to the Funk-It-Be Army!

Music is Stevie Hawkinsâ€™ passion. He grew up listening to and working to master a wide variety of music on drums and vocals. He plays and sings everything from jazz, to rock, to soul, pop, latin, blues, funk and R&B. Stevie is an extremely versatile player with an instinctive and distinctive style of drumming and singing. His inborn natural abilities combined with years of formal training cause him to play and sing with feel, style, finesse and technique. He has received numerous musical awards throughout his career.

Stevie has played drums for legendary artists:

John Lee Hooker, Percy Sledge, Brook Benton, Chuck Berry, Dee Clark, Chubby Checker, Ace Cannon, Johnny Rodrigeuz, Ed Bruce, Gregg Allman, and The Ink Spots. Others heâ€™s shared the stage with include Johnny Winter, Joe Cocker, Leon Russell, Alice Cooper, Bertie Higgins, Jeff Carson, Razzy Bailey, Daryle Singletary and Doug Stone.

Between 2001 and 2003 Stevie recorded The Georgia Jam CD tracks.

A Southern Rock fusion of Blues, Rock, Jazz, R&B, Folk, Soul and Country. The tracks were recorded on a portable stereo Digital Audio Tape recorder with a stereo microphone placed onstage with a direct line from the PA system for capturing the vocals and horns. The album of the same name was released in 2005 by Emphasis Records. None of the songs on Georgia Jam were rehearsed with the exception of â€œHonest Manâ€. The musicians were from the era of sensing, and things could happen on the spot.

In 2006 Stevie released â€œHigh Timeâ€ a Blues/Soul album with Johnny â€œGuitarâ€ Brown, Spencer Kirkpatrick, Terrell â€œCoolâ€ Robinson and Wally Tarado.

2011 brings us â€œWhat The Funk?â€

The album containing 19 tracks spans the world of Funk music from the 60â€™s to the present. Featuring some of the best in their genres: Soul Diva Jocelyn Brown, Sista Monica Parker, Tony Lindsay, Dâ€™Layna, Funk Dogg, Cooley, Jaroslav Jakubovic, The Blues Brothers Horns, The Memphis Horns, Joe Vitale, Thiago Pinheiro, Butch Taylor, Tyrone Chase, Anthony Vitti, Sal Giorgiani, Jennifer Cosaro, Ralph Rosen, Delicious Allstars, Sanj Sen and Chuck Webb, the albumâ€™s style is a mix of several genres, such as Soul, Blues, Jazz, Latin and the many other influences that make Funk music what it is.

Revered as one of the all time greats and a groove monster by his peers, especially among African-American musicians, Stevie is highly respected, and in consistent demand for his original brand of â€œriding the feelâ€ Blues â€“ Soul drumming, and â€œin the pocketâ€ R&B/Funk drumming/singing for both stage and studio.

What the Funk

Â is a mix of funk, soul, jazz, latin, blues, with rock overtones blended throughout the tracks. Although this is me doin’ my thing, me being me, the album pays homage to some of my inspirations and influences as a vocalist and drummer such as Bootsy Collins and P-Funk, Clyde Stubblefield, Tower of Power, Al Green, Bobby Bland, George Clinton, Funkadelic, Sly Stone, James Brown, Thelonious Monk, Marvin Gaye, Jimi Hendrix and others. There is a little something here for everyone. You get the funk, and then some!

“New York Underground Special” Featuring REVOLVING ONE & AVANT DUEL!

Uncle Earl — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 01:46:50 +0000

REVOLVING ONE

Revolving One was created in the summer of 2010 to bring fresh new music, a mix of modern rock with pop melody. This new band includes Brother/Sister combo Deb (vox) Mario (Guitar), Julio (Bass,Keys) and Manny (Drums) all hailing NYC.

Releasing their single called “Lucky” in early 2011 they just finished completing their EP called “Love Or Another Kind Of Hunger” produced by Rob Freeman @ The Pilot Studio. It’s been greatly received by fans, and the songs such as Lonely Man, Out to Get Me, and Our Days are described as an exciting blend of rock and pop. It’s easy to say that overall the songs have a compelling, “in your face” fresh sound.

Unsigned but Unwavered, they have been touring through out the northeast giving their fans a brand new taste of music. They are counting on their endless dedication, patience, upbeat songs, and their unbridled artistic spirit to go farther than the road can take them.

AVANT DUEL

VON LMO (pronounced VON ELMO) is an extraterrestrial hybrid. He was teleported to the planet Earth thousands of years ago from the distant star Strazar. He has been reincarnated many times over in the form of a human being. He is a 21st century visionary, a Master Musician & Artist, a Professor of the Avant Garde & Surrealism. He is an advanced writer of Metaphysics & Advisor of the Universe. The DAILY NEWS called VON a NY institution. He is one of the founding fathers of No Wave & Industrial Music & one of the first to use Power Tools on Instruments as a source of Sound & Visuals. JULIAN COPE declared his work as Genius. He is currently living in Harlem & in the process of building an Anti-Matter Generator, which will create Supersonic Fuel for the use of traveling through the Wormholes in Space. VON LMO created all artwork on this website in collaboration w/ Otto’s colorization process. Watch for availability of these designs on T-shirts & posters in the near future.

Otto von Ruggins, self-proclaimed Master of the Unheard Ã˜f, first played synthesizer at Shea Stadium during the Avant Garde Festival in 1974. His sounds attracted such crowds that he describes the effect as feeding pigeons. He put out an EP, Movie Viewers, that came w/ 4D glasses & a double groove, which included videos too hot for MTV back in 1980. Otto’s eclectic arsenal of hard & soft synths provides a plethora of aural artillery which they use together to produce their new Cosmic sound.

Most recently, Hello Music has declared in a six page pdf file review of their Parallel Universe masterpiece that AVANT DUEL is “…on the cusp of greatness” and that our “music is its own art form” with comparisons to Daft Punk, Kraftwerk & The Pet Shop Boys. All that & they haven’t even seen the video for the song, which you can see NOW!

Uncle Earl — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 04:08:39 +0000

Written in a style which evokes images that play in the reader’s mind, this novel from David Albert is mesmerizing from start to finish. Spanning the USA, Europe, India, Asis, Africa and landing in London, to coincide with the 2012 games, the heroes and villains of this intricate web entertain throughout every page. The SAS, athletes, the twins, scientists, political leaders and many gorgeous women are some of the characters you will meet, as Tentacles plan & Chameleon unfolds. The race is on for government bodies to unravel the web of deceit that surrounds Tentacle, an organization whose only mission is to make the world listen, regardless of what that takes. Years of planning, decades of grooming their recruits and with the determination to pursue their cause at any cost, the threat of destruction looms and the clock ticks as world leaders find their very existence under threat. Who are the heroes and who are the villains? What is evil and what is right? Whose side will you be on when the day finally arrives? Will you dread or eagerly await the attack by Tentacle? Who will win is not the question, but who will survive? Let the games begin.

New Years Prep with Celebrity Planner Party Charlie & Award Winning Multi-Instrumentalist Mr. Jimmy Z

Uncle Earl — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 12:26:43 +0000

Charlie Scola

“Party Charlie” as he’s affectionately known, has been planning parties and catering to celebrities, politicians and corporate executives for more than three decades. His definition of a party is when “two or more people gather to lift each other’s spirits and celebrate life.” Charlie provides healthy suggestions for audiences with ideas how to eat and socialize with gusto!Â â€œThe best advice I can give anyone is party, celebrate and socialize your way to health and success,â€ says the author and innovator in the food and catering industry. Charlie’s new book is called “Party Planning Secrets: The Ultimate Guide to a Successful Party.”

Over the years, Charlie has planned parties for, with, and in honor of, a lengthy list of celebrities and personalities, including A-list actors, rock stars, sports stars, political dignitaries and high level military personnel including Elton John, Tom Cruise, Bon Jovi, John Travolta, Bill Maher, Dana Carvey, Angela Landsbury, Bruce Springsteen, Dolly Parton, Stevie Wonder, Julio Iglesias, Barry Manilow, Diana Ross, Presidents Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan, Sen. Ted Kennedy, the Vice Premier of the Peopleâ€™s Republic of China and the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia. He orchestrated the grand opening of City Walk at Universal Studios Hollywood for 7,000 guests, the Millennium Christmas Party at Hugh Hefner’s Playboy Mansion, as well as private functions for the late great L.A. Mayor Tom Bradley, current L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, the City of Beverly Hills and the City of Hermosa Beach. Charlie was honored with a Special Award from the City of Beverly Hills for his on-going philanthropy.

Charlie has recently appeared as a celebrity guest on the KTLA Morning Show, KCAL/CBS-TV News @ Noon, Fox TV, Showtime, “Bridezilla”, the TV Guide Channel and Portugal TV with tips on party planning for the Oscars, Emmys and Tony Awards. He was also a guest on the Jerry Lewis Telethon.Â Charlieâ€™s websites have more info: www.partycharlie.com and www.charliescola.com.

Jimmy Z

Thereâ€™s a reason legendary blues Diva Etta James calls Jimmy Z her â€œHootchie Cootchie Manâ€ and Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics calls him â€œthe best harmonica player in the world.â€ Jimmy attracts attention. He caught the attention of Rod Stewart, Tom Petty and the Eurythmics â€“ all of whom he recorded and toured with. He also caught the attention of Dr. Dre, Barry White, Ziggy Marley, Yes, Bon Jovi, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Macy Gray, Jaguares, and countless others who sought out Jimmy Zâ€™s blazing harmonica and soulful saxophone to spice up their recordings.

Performing in 1988 with the Eurythmics for the Nelson Mandela Concert at Wembley Stadium and televised to 1 billion people worldwide, Jimmyâ€™s harmonica solo on ‘Must Have Been an Angel’ brought the world to its knees. Also, in 1988, Jimmyâ€™s first solo instrumental album was for Miles Copeland, then owner of IRS Records, called ‘Anytimeâ€¦Anyplace!’ In 1991, legendary rap producer Dr. Dre produced Jimmy Zâ€™s next album ‘Muzical Madness’, featuring Jimmy on lead vocals. In addition, Jimmy Z and Dr. Dre co-wrote all the songs.

Jimmy Z has appeared and acted in the movies ‘Georgia’, ‘The Doors’, ‘Wild at Heart’, and ‘The Shrink Is In’, as well as concert films with Rod Stewart, Tom Petty, the Eurythmics, Jaguares, and Etta James. He has scored numerous videos and films as well.

Jimmy recently produced and played on a new ZTribe CD, ‘The Heart and Soul of a Jaguar – Corazon Y Alma de un Jaguar’. In 2006, Jimmy joined blues and jazz luminaries Zac Harmon, Munyungo Jackson, Gregg Writght and Rich DelGrosso in NeoBlues, a fresh look and listen at African-American music in the 21st Century.

Currently, Jimmy is in the process of writing ‘Confessions of a Glorified Sideman’, chronicling his over 30 years in the music business. It includes many anecdotes and adventures from being on the road with some of the most famous (and infamous) musical celebrities.

Wed 12/7 & Thurs 12/8 – The Underground Experience Presents Grab Bag Special # 3 featuring Serpent Underground & Malachi Cohen!

Making their mark on the local and national scene, Serpent Underground has been â€œslitheringâ€ in and out of the industry forefront since 2003. Reformed in 2008 with lead guitarist Cody Walker, the band has added a sinister and melodic edge to their already aggressive â€œin-your-faceâ€ sound.

Set for a late 2011 release, Their new album “The Lie” will feature everything Serpent Underground fans have come to expect: dynamic vocals, powerful drum solos, heart-pounding bass and now the addition of Codyâ€™s edgy and melodic guitar work.

Serpent Underground made the ‘Rock Solid Pressure’

‘Top 10′ list for the most requested tracks of 2008.

‘Rock Solid Pressure’ is a national FM show,

and to be one of the most requested bands on

‘Rock Solid Pressure’ is an amazing feat.

“…These guys are way up my minor-key alley, with shades of everything from Stone Sour and Slipknot to Type O Negative and Tool just to name a few. Blending beautiful melodies with intense riffs and vocals, Serpent Underground is just what rock â€˜n roll needs right now â€“ a perfect bridge between what is great about old metal and nu. I LOVE this band!”

Kelly Rush: Metalholic Magazine

Â â€œ…They will possess you with their energy, killer rhythms and dark explosive emotion filled lyrics. They will hit you hard and make you feel tense and ready to explode! These guys definitely need more exposure, and I’m sure they can survive where the big boys play…â€Emmanuel: All Access Rock Magazine

Â â€œ…These guys are for real! I sincerely hope that these guys get the chance of being signed by a major label. So all contractors out there wake up and take a good listen to Serpent Underground!â€ – Markabre: Vampire Magazine

Â â€œ… This is the music that really ignites the soul; something you can wrap your-self around. It invites you in, and you feel like you have no choice but to listen, and when you do, you ask yourself why you haven’t done it sooner. Music like this really shows what Metal, and Rock in general, should be like. â€œ

BRADLEY RAPIER

As founder and artistic director of the award winning performance group, The Groovaloos, and co-creator and director of choreography of the Off Broadway smash GROOVALOO, Bradley’s goal has been to spread the power, beauty and endless creativity within the hip hop dance culture with the world. He was born and raised in Canada. There, in high school, Bradley was recruited by StreetScape, the country’s foremost street dancing troupe, introducing him to the magical qualities of the art form that drive him to this day. Previously on a medical career path like his father, Bradley was changed forever. He went on to choreograph and perform nationally on all mediums and, after taking 1st place at a Canadian Talent Search and top honors in both Los Angeles and New York at The International IMTA Awards, Bradley relocated to the USA.

Soon after the move Bradley was honored with an American Choreography Award nomination and a Hip Hop Choreography Award for his outstanding commercial work. On the theater front his cool style and creative approach on City Kid was touted as â€œmiraculousâ€ and â€œexhilaratingâ€ by The LA Times and garnered him both the 2008 Ovation and NAACP Award for Best Musical Choreography. He followed with a 2009 NAACP Best Choreography Award for his work on the Reprise Theater production of Once On This Island, leading The Daily News to declare:

â€œMusical theater producers everywhere should probably start putting Rapier on speed dial.â€

Bradleyâ€™s TV and commercial choreography credits include Lincoln Heights, Days of Our Lives, The Image Awards, TV Land Awards, MTVâ€™s 2gether, Skechers, Wrigleyâ€™s and Sony. Additional credits include performances and/or choreography for: Queen Latifah, Miley Cyrus, Brian McKnight, Diana Ross, The Temptations, Smokey Robinson, Boyz II Men, Cameron Diaz, Alanis Morissette, and Fat Boy Slim along with numerous TV commercials for brand name corporations.

Most recently, Bradley was associate choreographer under Broadway Director Des McAnuff for the remount of the classic Andrew Lloyd Webber musical, Jesus Christ Superstar. The new production is playing to rave reviews at the Stratford Shakespeare Festival and will be heading to Broadway in March of 2012 after a short run at the La Jolla Playhouse.

Grab Bag Special # 2 Featuring NYC Modern Rock Band PILLOW THEORY

Uncle Earl — Sat, 26 Nov 2011 11:17:26 +0000

PILLOW THEORY is a NYC quartet who delivers a high-powered dynamic sound while successfully genre hopping under the modern rock umbrella (metal, punk, pop, electro). The band has received accolades from Rolling Stone, Village Voice, Yahoo and SONY PSP to name a few. Theyâ€™ve blazed the stage warming up for TV On The Radio, Living Colour & Ninjasonik.

They collaborated with sonic genius Steve Albini (Nirvana, Pixies, NIN) for their sophomore release OUTPATIENCE in 2007. With Albini, they were able to manipulate their ever-changing moods to blend a sporadic yet cohesive sound. The album displays a delicate balance between heavy and light with change ups that may seem bizarre on paper, but work eloquently in sound. Outpatience was chosen as one of the VILLAGE VOICEâ€™s â€œbest ofâ€ in their yearly Pazz & Jop poll before it was even released.

In July 2011, they self-released their new EP titled MELTDOWN, produced by Slim Willy (Ferrari Snowday, Ninjasonik, LL Cool J) and Kelsey with additional mixing from sound master Ron Saint Germain. This long awaited follow up is a non-stop rollercoaster ride of aural excitement taking the band to the next level sonically and lyrically. This fall, the band will return to the road for their Meltdown 2011 tour!

Musical Artists Include: Pillow Theory, Noah Silver, Sheldon Botler, Ben Fagan & The Holy City Hooligans & Shred Rot!

Wed 11/16 & Thurs 11/17 – The Underground Experience Presents “The Divine Ms. Devin Ford!” Photographer, Activist & Filmmaker

The Divine Devin Ford From â€œLAâ€â€¦to LA. At age 5, Devin Ford tagged along with her mother to a photography class in her native Grand Bay, Alabama. Even at that early age, the experience ignited a passion for photography that still burns today. Photography is very much a part of who she is and her daily life. Not suited for small town life, Devin hid her artistic and intellectual pursuits while growing up, thinking it would alienate her from her friends. She kept her light under a bushel, as they say in the South.

Oddly enough, it was after seeing a performance of a drag queen named Venus that the 21 year old was ready to shine. Inspired by Venusâ€™ confidence, comfort and complete self-awareness, Devin enrolled in photography classes, some 15 years after that fateful day as a little girl in class with her mom. Venus, in fact, became one of Devinâ€™s favorite camera subjects. She was a muse to the budding photographer. Devin is currently completing a book and documentary featuring Venus and the â€œladiesâ€ of B-Bobâ€™s Club in Mobile.

Â Ambitious, creative and free-thinking, Devin said goodbye to LA (Lower Alabama) and set her sights on LA (Los Angeles), where she is thriving as a professional photographer and community leader. As an artist, she is a firm believer in collaborating with the client to tell the â€œstoryâ€ of the image sheâ€™s capturing. As a business woman, she applies her southern hospitality while anticipating and fulfilling client expectations, taking their viewpoint into account, to create images that are compelling and well-composed, be it a person, a product, or a place.

Â Devin is very much a visual communicator who credits Fine Art photographer Jane Gottlieb for pushing her to pursue her dreams, and celebrity shutterbug John Russo for teaching her the business of professional photography. Devin is a graduate of The Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara. She is also a West Hollywood Chamber of Commerce- Board Director, National Womenâ€™s Political Caucus LA/Westside – Board Director and co-Liaison to Womenâ€™s Groups, West Hollywood Womenâ€™s Leadership Conference – Steering Committee, and Ebell Wilshire Womenâ€™s Club Member.Â

Co-founder of social network site Diaspora, Ilya Zhitomirskiy, dies at 22

Co-founder of social network site Diaspora, Ilya Zhitomirskiy, dies at 22

By Brooke Donald, Associated Press | APÂ â€“

Â PALO ALTO, Calif. (AP) — Ilya Zhitomirskiy, a co-founder of the startup social networking site Diaspora that put an emphasis on privacy and user-control, has died, a company spokesman said Monday. He was 22.

The cause of Zhitomirskiy’s death in San Francisco wasn’t immediately known, and neither the company nor the San Francisco Medical Examiner’s office would release details.

“Ilya was a great guy. He was a visionary, he was a co-founder of a company that hopes to bring a better social networking experience,” said Peter Schurman, a Diaspora spokesman. “We are all very sad that he is gone. It is a huge loss for all of us, including his family.”

Zhitomirskiy was one of four students who started Diaspora in a computer lab at New York University.

As an anti-Facebook of sorts, the group raised more than $200,000 by collecting contributions through the website Kickstarter.

Last month, it posted a blog on its website asking for more contributions.

The site champions the idea of sharing while keeping control. On its website, the company promotes itself as a “fun and creative community that puts you in control.”

In a video posted on Vimeo in April 2010, when Diaspora first went looking for funds, Zhitomirskiy describes his vision.

“No longer will you be at the whims of those large corporate networks who want to tell you that sharing and privacy are mutually exclusive,” Zhitomirskiy said alongside co-founders Raphael Sofaer, Dan Grippi, and Max Salzber.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is listed as a supporter. He told Wired.com in May 2010 after Facebook announced new privacy controls that he liked the open source project. “I think it is cool people are trying to do it. I see a little of myself in them,” he said.

According to Zhitomirskiy’s profile on Diaspora, he’s “super passionate about building a world of hacker spaces, maker culture, sharing, cycling, and life satisfaction.”

In a September 2010 interview with New York Magazine, Zhitomirskiy said he wanted social network users to migrate to websites that were more transparent about privacy policies.

Zhitomirskiy said he and his co-founders didn’t set out to make money when they created Diaspora but to instead provide an “open platform” for users.

“There’s something deeper than making money off stuff,” Zhitomirskiy said. “Being a part of creating stuff for the universe is awesome.”

Rap Icon HEAVY D Dead At 44

Rap Icon Heavy D Dead At 44

By Billy Johnson, Jr

Heavy D, WireImages, Ben Rose

Popular ’90s rapper Heavy D died Tuesday, the L.A. Coroner Chief Craig Harvey told People. He was 44 years old.

“He was transported from a residence in Beverly Hills and was taken to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead in the emergency room,” Harvey told People. “The cause of death is yet to be determined; we’re investigating it now. We do know that he last saw his doctor two weeks ago.”

According to TMZ, the artist, whose real name is Dwight Arrington Myers, was pronounced dead at 1 p.m. today after being taken to a Los Angeles hospital.

At around 11:25 a.m., a 911 call was reportedly made, reporting an unconscious male outside.

TMZ reports that the “Now That We Found Love” rapper was conscious and talking when he was taken to the hospital.

There are reportedly no signs of foul play.

Heavy D appears in the Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy film “Tower Heist” and performed an old school set at the BET Hip-Hop Awards in October.

Stephen Hill, BET president of music programming and specials, said Heavy D was in good spirits when he performed at the hip-hop event. ” I’m so glad that we got to work together for his performance at last month’s BET Hip-Hop Awards,” Hill said in a statement. “Hev was focused, energetic and happy;Â he worked HARD, as he always had, to excite the crowd.”

Hill added that Heavy D was known for his showmanship. ” When Hev showed up, you knew the show was about to go down,” he said. “Smooth on his feet and nimble with his tongue, the overweight lover/rapper/dancer was one who truly believed in the fun of hip-hop. Choreography? In rap? Yes!”

Ernie Singleton, who was the president of black music of MCA Records when Heavy D joined the label in 1986, considers working with the artist as a highlight of his career. “Having the pleasure of signing Heavy D through the Uptown deal was one of the greatest experiences of my life,” he told Yahoo! Music.

Heavy D & The Boyz was the first act released on Uptown Records, an MCA subsidiary that boasted a roster including Al B. Sure, Mary J. Blige, and an intern-turned-mogul Sean “Puffy” Combs.

Singleton said releasing Heavy D first was an obvious choice. “We were putting a compilation together. Heavy D’s song ‘Mr. Big Stuff’ was a runaway record and there was an album done on Heavy D. â€¦ When you sign an artist and everybody is reacting very positively to it, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to speed up the process and get a record out.”

Heavy D collaborated with a number of artists over the course of his career. He appears on the remix of Janet Jackson’s song “Alright” from her “Rhythm Nation 1814″ album, and on Michael Jackson’s “Jam” from his “Dangerous” set. His biggest single was his 1991 song “Now That We Found Love” that reached No. 11 on the pop charts.

This week NYC “Wonder Boys” Rock Band NEVEREVEN & Internet Comedy Duo ARI ECKER and JOE YAKACKI of “FUNNY FOR MONEY”

Joe Yakacki

Since Joe “The Face” Yakacki was born, he has been cursed with great good looks and those devastating baby blues. The nurse who took him to his first crib left her card in his diaper. Now Joe is returning to Show Biz. His career started by landing an internship on The Drew Carey Show. Without any prior experience, Joeâ€™s talents were immediately recognized and was named “Head Wiper”, in charge of cleaning Careyâ€™s glasses. It sounds like a cushy job, but Drew was a closet lens-ophiliac. Joe finally had to quit over artistic spritzing differences.

Ari Ecker

Ari is a former teenage stand up comic who made it as far as auditioning for a Nickelodeon talent agency. He was not picked up. Ari has been doing karate since he was a toddler. He now has a black belt, but only because it has never been washed in 23 years. After years of personal rejection, Ari bought an airline ticket to a singles retreat in Peoria. Because of a typing error he ended up in Peking. Making the best of it, Ari spent a year using the stairs of the Great Wall of China to train for the International Slinky Champion-ships in Singapore. He ended up coming in 634th but once again Ari found the silver lining in the experience by realizing he was also allergic to MSG.

Ari met Joe at Northeastern University and immediately became a huge annoyance in Joe’s life. This still remains true today. After leaving school, Ari worked for the Durham Bulls and Joe for Babytobee.com. Ecker was the Multimedia Coordinator and Yakacki was in charge of online advertising. Because of their vast life experiences, they are both now perfectly qualified to become the hosts of The Funny For Money News. Thatâ€™s why they co-founded Funny For Money and they hope they will never have to have a real job ever again.

The name shouts out what youâ€™re in for even before you hear the first kick-in-the-face chords: Itâ€™s a dual-headed beast, copping from the classics while looking far into the future of rock.

The songs may evoke the legends of metal and even prog-rock intricacies, but these sweeping epics have all miraculously been distilled down to a few minutes each. In other words, Nevereven is ready to dominate the airwaves without budging an inch to satisfy corporate shills. Nevereven is taking back a New York Rock scene that’s been beaten down like an unwanted stepchild.

The Underground Experience Presents “The Emmett Till Murder Discussion!”

Please join me and my guests Linda Sconiers, Candace Benefil, Easop & Reverend Wheeler Parker as we discuss the Past, Present & Future…….Are we any better TODAY than back THEN and how can we have a better TOMORROW????

Emmett Louis Till was born on July 25, 1941, in Argo, Illinois, a town outside of Chicago.

Trip to Mississippi

Till’s mother’s family was originally from Mississippi–they moved to Argo when she was two–and she still had family there, specifically an uncle, Mose Wright. When Till was fourteen, he went on a trip during his summer vacation to see his relatives there. Emmett’s mother warned him that the South was a different, to “be careful” and “to humble himself” to the whites in Mississippi if necessary. Accompanied by his 16-year-old cousin, Wheeler Parker, Jr., Till arrived in Money, Mississippi, on August 21, 1955.

Till’s Death

On Wednesday, August 24, Till along with seven or eight cousins, went by Bryant Grocery and Meat Market, a white-owned grocery that mainly sold goods to the African-American sharecroppers in the area. Carolyn Bryant, a 21-year-old white woman, was manning the cash register, Emmett and his cousins were in the parking lot, chatting, and Emmett, in a youthful boast, bragged to his cousins that he had a white girlfriend back in Chicago.

What happened next is unclear: his cousins do not agree whether someone dared Emmett to go into the store and get a date with Carolyn. To what extent he attempted to flirt with Carolyn is also unclear: Carolyn changed her story on several occasions. His mother suggests that he may have whistled in an attempt to overcome his stutter.

Whatever the context, Carolyn chose to keep the encounter from her husband, Roy Bryant. He learned of the incident from local gossip–a young African-American teenager apparently being so bold with a white woman was unheard of.

At around 2:00 a.m. on August 28, Roy, along with his half-brother John W. Milam, went to Wright’s house and pulled Till out of bed. They kidnapped him.

Three days later, a boy fishing in the Tallahatchie River, found Emmett’s body tied to a fan from a cotton gin and tortured before being shot.

The Aftermath of Till’s Death

Roy Bryant’s and J.W. Milam’s trial started on September 19 in Sumner, Mississippi. They acquitted Bryant and Milam.

Protest rallies took place in major cities across the country after the verdict– Bryant Grocery and Meat Market eventually went out of business–90 percent of its customers were African-American, and they began boycotting the place.

On January 24, 1956, Look magazine published the detailed confessions of Bryant and Milam, who reportedly received $4000 for their stories. They admitted to killing Till, knowing that they could not be retried for his murder because of double jeopardy. Bryant and Milam said they did it to make an example out of Till, to warn others “of his kind” to not come down to the South.

Till’s Legacy

Rosa Parks said of her refusal to move to the back of a bus (in the segregated South, the front of the bus was reserved for whites): “I thought of Emmett Till, and I just couldn’t go back.” The image of Till’s battered body served as a rallying point for African Americans who joined the Civil Rights Movement to ensure that there would be no more Emmett Tills.

Uncle Earl — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 08:58:47 +0000

Wed 9/30Â 4PM – 5PM The Underground Experience Presents The Whimsical World of Ryder Bach/Body Parts Band!

Ryder Bach started Body Parts in 2009. In the past two years theyâ€™ve played shows in the Los Angeles area, many of them in the Echo Park DIY scene.Â Highlights include shows at The Troubadour, The Smell, Echo Curio, Pehrspace, and the Bootleg.

Recently the band recorded an album on Long Island called Body Parts / On Purpose. It explores foreground music (as opposed to background), their obsession with irony, and difficulty with sincerity.

In the live show, Alina Cutrono sings and plays bass and guitar, Marie Ishikawa plays drums, Sebastian Bach sings and plays percussion, Ray Proudfoot plays bass and Ryder Bach sings and plays guitar. Intricate vocals, often compared to Dirty Projectors, and tight grooves, reminiscent of Talking Heads, are defining qualities. At times, a Body Parts show feels more like performance art than traditional indie rock, yet their melodic and rhythmic hooks always remain the focal center.

Musical Artists Include: Body Parts, McKayla Reece, Sabres & Sundance.

CONFESSIONS OF A GLORIFIED SIDEMAN!
“I swear I’ll write more tomorrowâ€¦” Jimmy Z
Sep 17 2011

NWA â€” Straight Outta Comptonâ€¦ then Torrance & Westlake
Posted by Jimmy Z and the ZTribe in Legends, Recording

Tags: China Club, Compton, Death Row Records, DJ Yella, Donovan the Dirt Biker, Dr Dre., Eazy E, Eddie Baytos, EFIL4ZAGGIN, Fuck Tha Police, Fuck Tha Police World Tour, Funky Flute, Gary Ballen, Ice Cube, Jerry Heller, Jimmy Z, Jimmy Z and the Soul Lips, MC Ren, Muzical Madness, NIGGAZ4LIFE, NigÂgas With AttiÂtude, NWA, Ruthless Records, Ruthless: A Memoir, Suge Knight, The Chronic

In 1989 I was playÂing with my band Jimmy Z and the Soul Lips at the China Club in HolÂlyÂwood to a packed house when my manÂager Gary Ballen came up to the stage and told me Dr.Dre and Eazy E were in the house. NWA had just exploded not only just on the burÂgeonÂing Gansta Rap scene but nationÂwide with Fuck Tha Police.

Gary had been their tour manÂager on their record setÂting Fuck Tha Police World Tour (just imagÂine what that gig was like â€” LOL). Gary was also a VP of Easy Eâ€™s record comÂpany RuthÂless Recordsâ€¦ and whiteâ€¦ and JewÂish. I used to say, â€œhey you fuck!! and â€œmuthaÂfuckÂaaaaa!!!!!â€ in my act back thenâ€¦ a lot (still do). So they come back stage and the first thing Dr Dre says to me is â€œman, itâ€™s not mothÂerÂfucker! Its muthaÂfucka!!!â€ So I say â€œI know that mutha fucka!!!! Thatâ€™s what Iâ€™m sayÂing muthaÂfucka!!!!â€ We had a good laugh and a lot drinks and hit it off pretty wellâ€¦

Late Night RenÂdezvous with Dre and Eazy E
A week or so after weâ€™d met Iâ€™d given Gary a demo tape of a couÂple of songs I thought were rap. Livinâ€™ Life A to Z and The ComÂpany You Keep. I had totally immersed myself in NWA records and any other rap shit I could get my hands on. I was tryinâ€™ to be dopeâ€¦ not a dopeâ€¦ or on dopeâ€¦ but dope. Which now every white kid in AmerÂica or the world for that matÂter knows means, â€œitâ€™s cool.â€ Well, now you know the reaÂson reaÂson Dre raps on my album and I donâ€™t.

I was only ten years older than Dre and Eazy and from early on in my career I had hung with a lot of brothÂers playÂing in dives not far from the shit everyÂbody thought was so funny in the movie The Blues BrothÂers but for REALZ with some BadÂdaassss muthaÂfuckas with all the slang and jive that comes with the terÂriÂtory. But with these guys it was a â€œwhole â€˜nother uniÂverseâ€ of shit Iâ€™d never heard.

So Gary calls and says Dre and Eazy liked the demo and they want to meet that night out in WestÂlake VilÂlage. Now if youâ€™re not familÂiar with the Los AngeÂles city proper, WestÂlake VilÂlage is way out west on the 101 FreeÂway past the San FerÂnando ValÂley, past ThouÂsand Oaks and just about as far outta CompÂton on so many scales, as it gets. Weâ€™re talkinâ€™ one of the last basÂtions of upper midÂdle class CauÂcasian World. I rememÂber Dreâ€™s white neighÂbors sent their litÂtle daughÂters over once, they couldnâ€™t have been over nine years old, to ask us if we could turn the music down. What a chicken shit mutha fuckaâ€¦ sendÂing his litÂtle girls over.

Gary and I first went to his cousinâ€™s house in WestÂlake VilÂlage. Garyâ€™s cousin is the infaÂmous Jerry Heller, manÂager at the time of NWA and PresÂiÂdent of RuthÂless Records and the first thing he does is show me his gun. Keep in mind Jerry and Gary are both white and JewÂish. I often comÂmented to Jerry Heller how amusÂing I thought the teamÂing up of one the most notoÂriÂous â€œGansta Rap Bandsâ€ in hisÂtory and one of the most notoÂriÂously ruthÂless JewÂish bookÂing agents in showÂbiz and Jerry would shrug and say, â€œItâ€™s not so far fetched. We are two of the most abused and trod upon peoÂples in hisÂtory.â€ Hard to argue with that, espeÂcially when heâ€™s holdÂing a gun on meâ€¦ You can read all about what Jerry thinks of things in his autoÂbiÂogÂraÂphy â€“ RuthÂless: A MemÂoir.

WritÂing songs with Dr. Dre
We set a day to meet at Dreâ€™s house in WestÂlake VilÂlage. I show up and no one is home. I sit in my car an hour and finally he rolls up in a brand new Corvette with a shit eatinâ€™ grin.

He jumps out of the car and sprintÂing to his front door he waves me to come in. ApparÂently, he was under some kind of court ordered house arrest with some kind of elecÂtric bracelet around his ankle. Dre was tryÂing to beat the clock and if he didnâ€™tâ€¦ well LA County here we comeâ€¦

We go up to his stuÂdio and I set up all my shit, saxes, flutes, harps and amps and heâ€¦looks them over and says, â€œHow â€˜bout the flute?â€ Iâ€™m like, â€œokâ€ but really itâ€™s the one wind instruÂment Iâ€™m really not that proÂfiÂcient on. That day we wrote The Funky Flute. Dre raps on it and I sing andâ€¦ drum rollâ€¦ play flute!! Pure genius.

I think Dre says my name 50 times in the song. ApoloÂgies for the video qualÂity, but itâ€™s all weâ€™ve gotâ€¦ It was a fun shoot â€” LOL.

The next song we wrote came about from my answerÂing machine at home. Iâ€™d just sepÂaÂrated from my first wife and was wastÂing no time getÂting back on the scene with the women. Every time Iâ€™d get some crazy mesÂsage from a girl Iâ€™d call Dre and say â€œHey, I got another oneâ€¦check it out.â€ Weâ€™d laugh and then finally after the 20th one he says â€œbring those mesÂsages to the stuÂdio and weâ€™ll make a song with â€˜em.â€ Hence the next song Phone Sexxx. When you lisÂten to that song please keep in mind every one of those mesÂsages is real from my old style mini tape answerÂing machine. You canÂnot make that shit up. LOL What I dig about the song is the rhythm and melody of the verses Dre wrote for the black girls to sing. It really is a very sophisÂtiÂcated piece of writÂing. Now the lyrics were another story. The girls sing this:

Call me when you need someÂone for satÂisÂfacÂtion
When youâ€™re all alone just reach for your phone
You got the numÂber, off the bathÂroom wall
Do yourÂself a favor, give Jimmy Z a call

And then I come in with a deep, Barry White type voice saying

For Phone Sexx, babyâ€¦ Yeah, just reach out and touch.
Let your finÂgers do the walkinâ€™.

Pure cheese. But it was sooooo damn funny at the time.

We were falling down laughÂing with tears in our eyes, crackÂing up too. But after a while Iâ€™m really getÂting sick of hearÂing my name in these songs. I swear my name was litÂerÂally said close to 50 times in two songs. I brought it to Dreâ€™s attenÂtion one day as diploÂmatÂiÂcally as I could and he just barely gave me a sideÂways look from the recordÂing conÂsule and as he went back to mixÂing a track said, â€œShut the fuck up, youâ€™re gonna be famous & richâ€¦ and you gonna be fuckÂing ApolÂloÂnia!â€

I sighed and just stared at the wall. I really just wanted to make a funk, R&B, Blues type record. Who was I to argue? He wasnâ€™t the houseÂhold name yet at the time that weâ€™ve come to know now doing Dr. PepÂper comÂmerÂcials and stuff like that, but he was a very sucÂcessÂful proÂducer with NumÂber One records on the charts as we were workÂing on my album. And we still hadnâ€™t got signed to a record deal yetâ€¦ sooooooâ€¦ I shut the fuck up and had fun and worked daily for over two years with one of the most talÂented catâ€™s Iâ€™ve ever worked with.

Eazy E was one crazy muthaÂfuckaâ€¦ and funny too. One day I had just pulled into the RuthÂless Records parkÂing lot and saw Eazy standÂing next to a brand new beamer, a 750i with all the trimÂmings. It was just one of his 20 or so cars.

He calls me over and asks me if I could get down to the recordÂing stuÂdio Audio AchieveÂments in TorÂrance to record some flute and sax on an NWA album they were workÂing on that evenÂtuÂally became EFIL4ZAGGIN or backÂwards NIGGAZ4LIFE. Of course I said sure and he pops open the trunk and the smell just about knocked me over. He must have had at least a kilo of chronic in a big bag in the trunk and he grabs a big handÂful and says â€˜ya want someâ€¦?â€ I was wonÂderÂing if this was supÂposed to be the payÂment but I just took it and said â€œThanks, broâ€ and figÂured Iâ€™d work it out with Gary and Jerry later.

When I get to the stuÂdio the first thing I see is this big white biker lookÂing dude behind the desk who turns out to be the stuÂdio owner DonoÂvan the Dirt Biker. I introÂduce myself and he says that I would have to check in my piece (gun) at the desk before I can come in. I say all Iâ€™m packinâ€™ today is a tenor sax, flute and some harpsâ€¦ I thought he was going to frisk me. You would have been amazed at the arseÂnal behind that desk some days and nights. After becomÂing part of the crew and seeÂing what went on in that stuÂdio in the ensuÂing months I underÂstood the wisÂdom of this rule

Soon to be an interÂnaÂtionÂally known thug and bad boy record exec, Suge Knight started hangÂing around durÂing the makÂing of my record. One night he comes bargÂing in our sesÂsion laughÂing about a drive by shootÂing heâ€™d â€œjust doneâ€ on the 405 FreeÂway on the way to the stuÂdio. As I came walkÂing out of the main recordÂing room into the conÂtrol room he shot me one of those looks that can kill and said, â€œSup, Jimmy Z??â€ My stanÂdard reply was â€œIâ€™m cool.â€ Thatâ€™s about all we ever said to each other. I really didnâ€™t want to hear too much of what Suge had to say or else I might find myself in courtâ€¦ or worse!

I had a funny run in with Suge one night right after Dreâ€™s The Chronic had hit big, sellÂing milÂlions. I supÂpose it was around 1992 or â€˜93. I had just got done doing a gig with Gary Ballen, where I got paid in tips. A lot of tips. One of the funÂniÂest, fun gigs Iâ€™ve ever had. Garyâ€™s Fuck That Song schtick is priceÂless. AnyÂway, Iâ€™m at Jerryâ€™s Deli in the ValÂley and my pockÂets are bulging with small bills so I have the bright idea to count the money near the pubÂlic phones (rememÂber those? LOL) and bathÂrooms. I had seen this tricked out, styling, pickup truck pull in the parkÂing lot when I walked in with a brother driÂving but didnâ€™t pay it no mind. As Iâ€™m countÂing all these one dolÂlar bills I see these big brutha walkÂing towards me and I got money falling out my hands and pockÂets. I try to stuff all the shit away when I hear Sugeâ€™s high voice, â€œ Is that you, Jimmy Z? I thought it was you outÂside. How ya do doinâ€™ bro? You was always cool Jimmy Z. You take care, man.â€ I said everyÂthing was cool and then he walks in the restroom. I was stunned. I had never seen Suge so corÂdial. I guess I caught him in a good mood. I couldnâ€™t help but think here I am countÂing small change and there goes Suge driÂving a new car and livÂing large off Dr. Dreâ€™s talÂent. Oh well. Thatâ€™s showbiz.

A typÂiÂcal proÂducÂtion meetÂing at RuthÂless Records
All in all things were going fairly smoothly on my record MuzÂiÂcal MadÂness, if you can imagÂine livÂing in the world of the â€œWorlds Biggest Gansta Rap Groupâ€ could be. There was some defÂiÂnite tenÂsion in the air though. Ice Cube had just left the group accusÂing Eazy E of takÂing too much of a cut and other comÂplaints. The harassÂment of the group by the FBI and other LA police agenÂcies was no joke either.

I rememÂber being with Gary Ballen numerÂous times when Eazy would call and say â€œâ€¦theyâ€™re pulling me over right now and I ainâ€™t done nothÂing, man!!!â€ The cops were always pulling him over and I am still amazed how he never got busted with a stash in the trunk.

Dre was getÂting a litÂtle bit annoyed at Eazy E for the deal he was getÂting for proÂducÂing RuthÂless acts and with Suge talkÂing in his ear every night to start Death Row Records. And MC Ren and DJ Yella were tryÂing to get their licks in with solo projects, so the pot was simÂmerÂing. Not to menÂtion the racial cliÂmate was heatÂing up in Los AngeÂles just a bit with the RodÂney King beatÂing and video.

So one would think with all this shit going on, that the last thing that would be on the minds of the two most powÂerÂful NigÂgas With AttiÂtude would be the song list for the album of their new honky senÂsaÂtion. But it was.â€¦

One day in the stuÂdio, after sufÂfiÂcient quanÂtiÂties of Gin and Juice, they started arguÂing about a Prince song Crazy You Iâ€™d recorded and whether or not it should be on my album. Soon it was a wrestling match and then escaÂlated to an all out brawl with furÂniÂture flyÂing. InfaÂmous Zydeco piano man Eddie BayÂtos was in the stuÂdio that day and had the misÂforÂtune of walkÂing in when a piece of furÂniÂture whizzed by his head. He gave me a WTF look and I shrugged and said, â€œItâ€™s okâ€¦just an ExecÂuÂtive ProÂducÂtion MeetÂing.â€

PerÂspecÂtive
Iâ€™ve never really talked too much about it pubÂlicly, but I caught a lot of shit from my peers for fallinâ€™ in with NWA back in the late 80â€™s. Iâ€™d been playÂing the blues from the first time I ever played music and was lucky enough to fall in with blues disÂciÂples like Rod StewÂart and tour the world. It was Rod who first unleashed me on the world and let me blow my brains out in front of them and I will be eterÂnally grateÂful. PlayÂing black music to millions.

PeoÂple forÂget how much rap was hated back then and still is in some cirÂcles. And now these same rock nâ€™ roll musiÂcians in my genÂerÂaÂtion who came from black blues music back in the 60â€™s were punkinâ€™ me off for hookinâ€™ up with what could be thought of as the next natÂural proÂgresÂsion. It felt like I was floatÂing away from them.

I came from the world of blues playinâ€™ and openÂing shows for the likes of Muddy Waters, Albert King, James CotÂton, and Willie Dixon. And all the blues cats influÂenced a genÂerÂaÂtion of white kids includÂing the likes of Eric ClapÂton, Mick JagÂger, Keith and all the rest and me included on how we played, dressed, picked up women and everyÂthing else.

I believe Rap is like the modÂern day blues and the influÂence on white kids, black kids, hell all kids in the world is undeÂniÂable. I was lucky to be in the trenches with the likes of Eazy E, Dr.Dre, Ice Cube, MC Ren and DJ Yella and witÂness their dedÂiÂcaÂtion and genius and watched them litÂerÂally change the world. Look at how kids dress to this day in baggy low hanginâ€™ clothes. That was NWA. LisÂten to the beats. Thatâ€™s Dre.

And when Iâ€™d tell my bros I was playÂing with NWA and signed a record deal with them they thought I was a sellÂout, an assÂhole and much worse. It was so strange, because it all sounded so familÂiar to what we used to hear from our parÂents and older peoÂple when we were kids lisÂtenÂing to the Stones, Elvis, Bob Dylan and BeaÂtÂles and so on in the 50â€™s and 60â€™s.

Rap is so huge today. Itâ€™s influÂence is everyÂwhere from comÂmerÂcials sellinâ€™ soap to tamÂpons and the newest cars from the largest car makÂers, to the clothes all the kids weâ€¦ And sells the most CDâ€™s.

And white kids are still eatinâ€™ it up along with the rest of them, like we ate up the blues a couÂple of genÂerÂaÂtions before and there ainâ€™t nothinâ€™ the parÂents can do about it.

There is another long story about why MuzÂiÂcal MadÂness never got the release and expoÂsure it deserved that, but you can buy it today used on AmaÂzon and see for yourÂself what the world missed……

And Iâ€™m out.â€¦ as Eazy E used to say.

APD wasnâ€™t an overnight success nor was it the first project for Weingartz.Â This Los Angeles native had climbed the corporate ladder at industries throughout LA and Atlanta before making the transition to Music City.Â Heâ€™s managed retail and restaurant environments, owned an operated a competitive independent label and managed artist before turning APD into a viable technology.Â â€œIt seems every large risk is always contingent upon how much you are willing to invest,â€ examines Weingartz.Â â€œI risked it all and several mortgages and credit lines later this idea has grown larger than anything I could have initially imaged.Â Now, the most exciting part is discovering how far to reach when my staff and I tackle new ventures.Â We have some industrial progress coming and are happily pursuing advancements to make the evolution of distribution a fluid transition within the modern music industry.â€

In Memorium Of Nick Ashford

Uncle Earl — Tue, 23 Aug 2011 10:20:43 +0000

sad news………….

The passing of Nick Ashford……..

Comments 38

Nick Ashford, who along with wife Valerie Simpson helped set the gold standard for R&B duets, both as songwriters and performers, died of throat cancer Monday in a New York hospital. He was 69.

Ashford & Simpson â€” you can’t think of one without the other â€” penned and produced almost all of the ’60s hits for Motown’s Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell, including Ain’t No Mountain High Enough, You’re All I Need to Get By, Ain’t Nothing Like the Real Thing and Your Precious Love. They also wrote hits for Chuck Jackson, The Shirelles, Maxine Brown and the Fifth Dimension.

Ray Charles’ 1966 No. 1 R&B hit Let’s Go Get Stoned was their breakthrough record. They would later write and produce Diana Ross‘ biggest solo hits, including her signature Reach Out and Touch (Somebody’s Hand). They also wrote Chaka Khan’s I’m Every Woman, which was later recorded by Whitney Houston.

Though they had initially performed together in 1964 as Valerie & Nick, after meeting a year earlier at Harlem’s White Rock Baptist Church, they didn’t fully break out as R&B stars until the late ’70s and ’80s with songs like Don’t Cost You Nothing, It Seems to Hang On, Found A Cure, Street Corner and Solid. They generated excitement onstage with the tall, leonine Ashford trading harmonies with the sultry Simpson.

Ashford, who was born in Fairfield, S.C., and raised in Willow Run, Mich., had originally aspired to be a dancer.

The couple, who had been married since 1974, were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2002. They recorded eight albums for Warner Bros., including four that went gold, five with Capitol and two independently. Their last album, 1996′s Been Found, was a collaboration with poet Maya Angelo.

They continued to perform sporadically and frequently hosted events at their New York restaurant, Sugar Bar.

Uncle Earl — Mon, 09 May 2011 07:00:35 +0000

Kirk Nebel was born and raised in Portland, Oregon in the seventies, and grew up listening to Elton John, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and AC-DC. He started playing the violin when he was 6 years old, studying classical music extensively. At the age of 12 he began guitar lessons and thus began his passion for playing Rockâ€™ n â€™roll. kirk received my BS in Political Science and Business from the University of Oregon, where I fell in love with the music of The Cult, the doors, Nirvana, and Alice in Chains. He moved to Los Angeles in 1999 to get more sunshine and to attend Musicianâ€™s Institute to study guitar where he received his Professional Diploma from MI and taught private guitar lessons out of his apartment for several years. He spent the evenings playing in local bands, and eventually founded his own alternative rock band: Velveteen Robot, which has released two full length CDs. In 2003 he opened his own music school; Hollywood Academy of Music, which offers private and group music lessons for students of all ages. After 5 years, he expanded the school to its second location in North Hollywood in the NOHO Arts district. Seven years after founding the school they have 18 amazing teachers and two office managers on staff and over 350 students attending classes. Always looking for a new challenge, in 2009, Kirk received his California real estate license and have been working as a broker for the past year, in addition to keeping the music school working like clockwork.

Move On.Org

Uncle Earl — Sat, 02 Apr 2011 00:45:35 +0000

We don’t have a budget crisis in Washington. We have a moral crisis.

When Congress can seriously debate forcing veterans into homelessness and cutting food aid to pregnant women and children, while giving tax breaks to billionaires, something is very, very wrong.

That’s why this morning, I joined, along with the heads of seven other major progressive organizations, in an ongoing fast launched by religious leaders to protestÂ the brutal and unjust budget cuts being debated in Washington.

Those who will go hungry because of these cuts are largely invisible to decision-makers in Congress.Â By fasting in solidarity, we have an opportunity to make their suffering visible,Â and expose the immorality of this policy.

Will you join in? You can fast for a day or part of a day, for a meal or a weekâ€”whatever you can do.

Please click here to join in.

This began on Monday, when Reverend Jim Wallis and a group of Christian, Jewish, and Muslim clergy launched a prayer fast to highlight what they called the “selective cruelty” in the budget debate. As word spread, thousands more folks have begun fasting as well.

I joined today because all week long I’ve been looking into the eyes of my 2-year-old daughter, and thinking about the hundreds of thousands of kids who will get kicked out of preschool, who will lose access to health care, who will go to bed hungry each night if these cuts pass.

I joined because I keep picturing other parents like me, many of them MoveOn members, who will be left with no way to provide for their families if right-wing Republicans get their way.

I joined because according to my faith and my conscience, letting children starve while giving handouts to giant corporations is wrong, plain and simple. And I feel compelled to speak out.

A number of other MoveOn staff are joining the fast with me this morning. I hope you will too, in whatever way speaks to your conscience.

http://pol.moveon.org/pac/budgetfast/?id=26743-10394060-QnWkG_x&t=2

I grew up reading these words from the Prophet Isaiah and they’ve returned to me powerfully today.

Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen:

to loose the chains of injustice

and untie the cords of the yoke,

to set the oppressed free

and break every yoke?

While this cause will speak to all of us differentlyâ€”to our faith, or to our ethics, or simply through the eyes of our childrenâ€”it is grounded in our common humanity and a common passion to defend those most in need.

Please join if you can.

Thank you for all that you do,

Justin Ruben

Executive Director

MoveOn.org

PS. If you didn’t see it, the most-emailed article on theÂ New York Times website yesterday was food writer Mark Bittman’s beautiful column about why he’s fasting too.

PPS.Â Fasting can be dangerous. Those with health issues or concerns that may be affected by fasting should not participate. Anyone unsure or with questions should consult their doctor before participating.

To all my friends,

As many of you may know, 2011 marks my 10^th year of being diagnosed cancer-free– of being a â€œsurvivorâ€. Iâ€™ve been trying to wrap my brain around what that means. More importantly, why IÂ did survive. Iâ€™d like to think that I was kept here for a purpose, and the only purpose I find is to make music. But not just any musicâ€¦ music that conveys messages of hope, positivity, love, faith, healingâ€¦ everything that was offered to me at my darkest hour. I want to give all that back.

For my 10year anniversary, I want to use the gifts God has given me to do something positive and impactful.Â Iâ€™m emailing you today to let you know of a charity event that I am putting on to give back. On Saturday, June 18th, 2011, the world famous Troubadour will kindly open its doors for my event,Â â€œ#BurnItDownâ€¦ To Rise Above It!â€. It’s a special benefit concert to raise funds for The American Cancer Society & The Marcelle Erian Foundation (a non-profit organization set up by my oncology office to help the un- and under-insured pay for their cancer treatments and medications). It’sÂ because of organizations such as these that I survived and that we are seeing more and more survivors every year.Â PLUS, I will be releasing and giving away my 2^nd album, â€œBURN IT DOWNâ€, to all in attendance as a gift for their generosity.

And this is where you come inâ€¦ Iâ€™ve never been good at this, so Iâ€™ll just come out with itâ€¦ I need your helpâ€¦ in ANY capacity. If any of you know people, vendors, sponsors, organizations that would possibly be interested in helping or donating items for auction, talent, funds, ANYTHING for an event like this, please pass this message along or give them my information. If you feel moved to help in any way, I welcome it with open arms. If you know anyone affiliated with the music industry that would like to listen to some good new music, by all means, send them my way! And if youâ€™d just like to show up, Iâ€™d love that just as well.

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the love and support youâ€™ve shown me over the past 10 years and longer.Â I couldnâ€™t have gotten to this place in my life without your help. I couldn’t have been a true survivor without your friendship. Â I hope and pray that this event makes a difference, and with your help, I know we can.

Sincerely,

Alex Nester

VIDEO update from Japan; How you can help

SaveJapanDolphins.org and THE COVE have many friends and extended family in Japan. Our thoughts and prayers are with them throughout this ongoing crisis.
Many of you know that we also had volunteers just a few miles from the epicenter of the earthquake. They witnessed the entire town of Otsuchi reduced to rubble in a matter of minutes. SaveJapanDolphins.orgâ€™s Brian Barnes did two interviews with CNN. Watch here:

CNN 1:
http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2011/03/15/gotta-watch-stories-of-survival/?iref=allsearch

CNN 2: http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/bestoftv/2011/03/15/exp.am.intv.barnes.cnn?iref=allsearch

They made it out safely, in no small part due to the overwhelming kindness of the Japanese people they met with along the way. Those people now face continued loss and an uncertain future.

We are dedicated to protecting dolphins and whales, but now is the time for us all to help our dear friends in Japan. As Iâ€™ve said from the beginning of our campaign, we are not against Japan or the Japanese people. Our Campaign is not about hate, but about helping dolphins and the people.

Weâ€™ve compiled a list of organizations in Japan, or with close connections. If you can, please donate:

Dear fellow MoveOn member,

I never wanted a handout.

I just wanted to get my nursing degree and build the life I’ve dreamed of. I wanted to provide my daughter with the opportunities that my mother couldn’t give me when I was growing up.

That’s my dream, but I’m afraid my dream is about to die.

Republicans are trying to cut the financial aid I rely on to pay my tuition. Last year, as a student, I couldn’t find steady work and earned less than $4,500. If my financial aid is taken away from me, I won’t be able to afford to get my nursing degree.

Once again I’m going to have to choose between paying rent or buying diapers, between having heat or having enough food for my family to eat. Can you imagine the pain involved in making those choices?

Can you help save my dream? The Senate is on recess, and SenatorÂ Dianne FeinsteinÂ is home in California. Can you call herÂ in her district office inÂ Los Angeles, and ask herÂ to vote against any budget that makes cuts to education, health care, and Social Security, and puts corporations and millionaires above hardworking Americans like me?

Here’s where to call:

Senator Dianne Feinstein
Los Angeles office: 310-914-7300

Then, please report your call to MoveOn by clicking here:

http://pol.moveon.org/call?cp_id=1545&tg=FSCA_1&dofcs=1&dofcp=310-914-7300&id=26645-10394060-ZyxxhJx&t=3

I recently got a part-time job at Walmart and with that money, along with my student aid, I’m now able to cover all my expenses. I even had enough money to get new glasses for the first time in six years. I’ve struggled to get this far, but I finally feel like I’m going to be able to make a good life for myself and my daughter.

Please, don’t let the Republicans take all this away from me. You see, the cuts they want to make aren’t abstract. And they aren’t limited to student aid, either. They’re trying to cut job training, food aid to women and children, and more. Congress doesn’t seem to understand the consequences to people like me all across the country if these programs are cut.

Can you call SenatorÂ Dianne Feinstein, and ask her to vote against any budget that makes cuts to education, health care, and Social Security, and puts corporations and millionaires above hardworking Americans like me?

Senator Dianne Feinstein
Los Angeles office: 310-914-7300

Dear Lacy,

Thereâ€™s a new attack on LGBT rights in California. We need your help to defeat it.

Weâ€™re sponsoring a bill, called the FAIR Education Act (SB 48, authored by Senator Mark Leno), that would ensure that all students learn in school about the contributions LGBT people have made to the history of California and the U.S. The Act would also prohibit discriminatory instruction against LGBT people from being included in the classroom. It will make our classrooms a fairer, safer place for LGBT and all youth.

This week when we were at the billâ€™s first committee hearing, anti-LGBT activists pulled out all the stops. They organized about 40 opponents of the bill to testify. These opponents argued that we shouldnâ€™t teach about Harvey Milk in our schools because being gay had nothing to do with his success or his assassination. They contended that homosexuality is an abnormal medical condition. And one opponent referred to a transgender member of the community as a â€œso-called man.â€ It was beyond shocking.

Thereâ€™s another committee hearing coming up, followed by a floor vote. Opponents plan to increase their attacks to defeat this bill. It will take everything weâ€™ve got to counter them.Â

We have to mobilize a whole host of fair-minded and intelligent people to testify in support of SB 48 at the next hearing. We also have to build upon the supportÂ of the California Teachers Association and the manyÂ other organizations and individuals who are already behind this bill. We have to help legislators connect with the billâ€™s goals, reach out through the media and online, and more. Please help us do this important work and advance LGBT rights across California.

Research shows that when students learn about LGBT people and the issues that affect us, the rate of bullying drops by 50 percent. When LGBT youth grow up in safe environments, they become confident and strong, and they are much less likely to succumb to depression or even suicide. SB 48 can save lives, if it passes.

We won this round, but the next and final Senate committee hearing will be within the next couple of weeks. We have to ensure that the bill makes it out of committee.Â

In solidarity,

Geoff Kors
Executive Director
Equality California

P.S. I testified in support of SB 48, as did Carolyn Laub of the Gay-Straight Alliance Network, also a sponsor of the bill. Our calls for fairness helped us win this vote, but the next one will be tougher.

UK gay marriage challenge goes to European Court

A challenge against the UKâ€™s bans on gay marriage and straight civil partnerships will be filed at the European Court of Human Rights this week.

The Equal Love campaign, led by gay rights activist Peter Tatchell, seeks to open both institutions up to all couples, regardless of sexual orientation.

The UK legalised civil partnerships for gay couples in 2006, but campaigners say they are not good enough.

Four gay and four straight couples tried to register for ceremonies they were not entitled to in the run-up to Christmas.

Their letters of rejection will be used to form the case. The couples are taking the case to a European court to avoid paying the UK government legal fees if they lose.

The court application will be filed on Wednesday morning and Green MP Caroline Lucas will be the keynote speaker at a launch event in Westminster.

Human rights lawyer Professor Robert Wintemute, who is the couplesâ€™ legal advisor, said he was confident that they would win.

He said: â€œBanning same-sex marriage and different-sex civil partnerships violates Articles 8, 12 and 14 of the European Convention on Human Rights.

â€œItâ€™s discriminatory and obnoxious, like having separate drinking fountains or beaches for different racial groups, even though the water is the same. The only function of the twin bans is to mark lesbian and gay people as socially and legally inferior to heterosexual people.â€

He added: â€œI am confident that we have a good chance of persuading the European Court of Human Rights that the UKâ€™s system of segregating couples into two â€˜separate but equalâ€™ legal institutions violates the European Convention.

â€œI predict that same-sex couples will be granted access to marriage in the UK and that this will be because the UK government will eventually accept that it cannot defend the current discriminatory system.â€

Mr Tatchell said: â€œOutlawing black or Jewish people from getting married would provoke uproar. The prohibition on gay marriages should provoke similar outrage. Arbitrarily excluding heterosexual couples from civil partnerships is equally reprehensible.

â€œThe bans on same-sex civil marriages and opposite-sex civil partnerships are a form of sexual apartheid â€“ one law for gay couples and another law for heterosexual partners. Two wrongs donâ€™t make a right. In a democratic society, we should all be equal before the law.â€

EQCA & Russian LGBT Activist Nikolai Alekseev

Uncle Earl — Fri, 18 Feb 2011 11:12:45 +0000

Dear Lacy,

Equality California is honored to sponsor, along with Robin Tyler Productions, Inc., the California tour of Russian LGBT activist Nikolai Alekseev. Join us to hear from Nikolai about the LGBT rights movement in his country and how you can support the movement across borders.

In 2010, Nikolai Alekseev won in the European Court of Human Rights on LGBT human rights violations in Russia. The court ruled that, by banning three Moscow Prides in 2006, 2007 and 2008, Russia breached three articles of the European Convention. The case marked the first ever international defeat of the Russian Government on the issue of LGBT rights.

In an attempt to force Nikolai to withdraw the case, Russian authorities kidnapped him on September 16, 2009, as he was boarding a Swiss Air flight.Â They stole his cell phone and sent fake text messages to his friends and the press asserting that he was defecting from Russia and withdrawing his case.Â Two days later, Alekseev was freed and the lies were exposed.

Join us at one of these upcoming events to hear from Nikolai about his work and the challenges that LGBT Russians face. If you can’t make it in person, please join us for a livestream of the San Francisco event on March 7 at 5:30 p.m.

Saturday, March 5
3 to 5 p.m.

Last yearâ€™s kidnapping wasnâ€™t the first time Alekseev had been harassed for standing up for LGBT rights. He and his colleagues of the Russian LGBT Rights Project have faced brutality, violent arrests by riot police, kidnappings and other atrocities. Against great odds and strong opposition throughout their country, they have fearlessly and relentlessly pursued equality for all LGBT Russians.

Last week, the brutal murder of David Kato and near-deportation of Brenda Namigadde — two Ugandan activists working to defeat a brutal anti-LGBT bill in their country that would allow multiple â€˜offendersâ€™ to be put to death — were a horrific reminder of the stakes that LGBT people can face for organizing for greater rights. We canâ€™t stand aside and let these atrocities happen.

Join me to hear about Nikolai Alekseevâ€™s experiences and learn what you can do to help LGBT rights flourish in every nation.

In Solidarity,

Uncle Earl — Thu, 17 Feb 2011 06:14:43 +0000

Dear Lacy,

I remember the first time I introduced my 3-year-old son Jack toÂ Sesame Street. From Big Bird, Bert, and Ernie to songs about ABC’s and 123′s, Sesame Street quicklyÂ became one of his favorite shows. We still watch together, and he always learns something new.

But now, right-wing Republicans in Congress want to take Big Bird and his friends away from my son with slash-and-burn budget cuts, just to pay for more tax cuts for millionaires.

Thing is? PBS makes up less than .0001% of the federal budget. ENOUGH ALREADY.

Click here to tell Congress: Hands off Big Bird and PBS!

Iâ€™m lucky that my son goes to a wonderful pre-school. But not all kids in our country are so lucky. That’s why it is so important that public TV programs like Sesame Street and Curious George introduce concepts like math and science in fun ways that benefit ALL kids.

Darrell Issa, David Dreier, Kevin McCarthy and the entire CA Republican congressional delegation have lined up to cut programs like Sesame Street out of our lives. PBS is a public resource and one that enriches our community and our childrenâ€™s education.

Will you join me and Jack and tell Issa and the rest of the CA Republican delegation to keep their hands off of our childrenâ€™s education?

Iâ€™m not going to stand for eliminating good education for my kid while Republicans dole out tax cuts to millionaires. I’ve watched PBS for over 40 years and I’m not going to let it go now.

Without PBS, there’s no more NOVA to spark Jack’s interest in science. There’s no more Sesame Street to introduce Jack to a world that shares, cares and learns.Â And there’s no more NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, or Frontline: unbiased journalism that isn’t bought and paid for by big corporations.

I love California and our country and I love my son. Â I want Jack to grow up in an America that cares about its kids, not about tax cuts for millionaires.

Join me to demand that the California Republican congressional delegation says yes to PBS and no to budget cuts that hurt our children.

Thanks for protecting our childrenâ€¦ and Big Bird, too.

Dear MoveOn member,

Our petition to save NPR and PBS has taken off! More than 400,000 people have signed since Friday.

But far from backing off, Republicans are doubling down. They released a new version of their budget Friday that not only zeroes out federal funding for NPR and PBS going forward, but even claws back funding for this year that’s already been promised.¹

A group of House Democrats is fighting back with a “Dear Colleague” letter, and they’re trying to get as many representatives as possible to sign on by the time they deliver it to the House leadership tomorrow. Can you call Rep. Bass now and ask her to add her name?

Tell her why NPR and PBS are so important to you, personally, and then ask her to sign the “Dear Colleague” letter being circulated by Rep. Earl Blumenauer’s office protesting the cuts.

Representative Karen Bass
Phone: 202-225-7084

Click here to report your call

And if you haven’t already, please send the petition on to your friends and family.Â We’re trying to get a half-million signatures before we deliver the petitions tomorrow.

Here’s some text you can forward:

The Republicans just released their budget proposal, and it zeroes out funding for both NPR and PBSâ€”the worst proposal in more than a decade. We need to tell Republicans that cutting off funding wasÂ unacceptable last time they were in charge, and it’s unacceptable now.

I just signed the petition to save NPR and PBS. Can you join me at the link below?

Sign the petition to save NPR and PBS

Thanks for all you do.

COLOR OF CHANGE

Uncle Earl — Wed, 26 Jan 2011 01:37:37 +0000

Earlier this month we witnessed a tragic shooting in Tucson, AZ, leaving 6 dead, and 20 others â€” including Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords â€” injured. While rhetoric from the far-fight that feeds distrust and hatred towards our politicians (especially among the mentally ill) needs to be called out and countered, another factor jumps out. Someone like Jared Lee Loughner should never have been able to buy a gun.

We already have laws that make it illegal for criminals and the mentally ill to purchase guns. But a broken background check system and wide enforcement loopholes — kept in place by the gun lobby and the National Rifle Association (NRA) — have made it difficult to keep guns out of the wrong hands. It’s time to close these gaps once and for all. You can help.

Please join us, along with Mayors Against Illegal Guns and others, in making it clear to politicians that everyday Americans support common sense reform and will stand with them if they lead in keeping guns from the most dangerous among us; and please ask your friends and family to join as well. It takes just a moment:

http://act.colorofchange.org/sign/guns/

Two commonsense reforms could prevent future tragedies. First, we should ensure that all the names of people who should be prohibited from buying a gun are entered into the background check system. Then we must close the loopholes that allow people to purchase guns with no background check at all. It sounds easy â€” but the powerful gun lobby, led by the NRA, has stood in opposition.

The attempted assassination of a member of Congress has frightening implications for our political culture that we should take very seriously. But we should also take this moment to remember that dozens of ordinary people are murdered with guns every day.

Itâ€™s a problem that everyone should care about solving â€” but it disproportionately affects Black, poor, and other disadvantaged communities. Black men are 9 times more likely than white men to be murdered with guns. In too many Black communities across the country, gun violence is a constant danger.

The danger is fueled by the easy availability of guns for those who are legally prohibited from possessing them. And it is so easy for dangerous people to puchase guns because of deep flaws in the systems meant to prevent this from ever occurring. One problem is that those who should be prohibited from buying guns, such as felons and the mentally ill, donâ€™t always make it into the federal background check database. That means gun stores who are trying to follow the law may inadvertently sell guns to dangerous people.

But perhaps more troubling, there are huge loopholes in the law that allow people to bypass background checks altogether. For instance, in the well-known â€œgun show loophole,â€ anyone can purchase deadly automatic weapons â€” weapons designed to kill as many people as possible as quickly as possible â€” from a gun show with no background check whatsoever.

If any lesson is to be taken from the tragic events in Tucson, it is that these gaps can have deadly consequences. Now, with growing public support for change, there is a unique opportunity to strengthen Americaâ€™s gun laws to keep these weapons out of the wrong hands.

Please stand with us and our partners at Mayors Against Illegal Guns in asking Congress to do just that. And when you do, please ask your friends and family to do the same.

A Message From Vice President Joe Biden :O)

Uncle Earl — Fri, 21 Jan 2011 01:38:57 +0000

Lacy –

It was two years ago today that Barack and I were sworn in, and I remember what he said like it was this morning:

“The challenges we face are real, they are serious, and they are many. They will not be met easily or in a short span of time. But know this, America: They will be met.”

Even then, we knew it would take time. We knew it would be hard. And we knew we would sometimes make mistakes.

But we did not lose sight of what we came to do.

Together, we took on difficult issues that had been put off for decades. And some say we have accomplished more in two years than any administration since Roosevelt’s.

Take it from me, that’s something you should take to heart — because none of it would have been possible without your hard work.

But the job’s not done.

I am reminded of that every time I travel to the small towns in Pennsylvania, Iowa, New Mexico — all over — and on the weekends I get home to Delaware. I meet folks who are still struggling, who want to know when the recovery will start to turn things around for their family.

These people are why we can’t quit.

And moving forward with this new Congress, we will need to defend what we’ve achieved together as aggressively as we pursue the goals that remain.

I believe in the power of public service because I’ve seen what it has done throughout our country’s history to combat social and economic injustice. And I am proud to say it’s a story that continues in the remarkable progress we’ve made in the past two years. To tell it, Organizing for America has written Promises Kept.

Take a look at the Promises Kept report of all the work we’ve done in two years — you can download a copy or have a few sent to you to share with friends.

There’s a whole lot to be proud of.

Of course, the big ones come to mind first: historic health insurance reform, which is reining in the insurance companies and helping control the cost of care for millions of Americans; Wall Street reform, which put in place the toughest consumer protections ever; and the end of combat operations in Iraq, which brought more than 100,000 troops home.

And there is so much more you’ve helped achieve that is right now improving lives across the country:

— We passed the Recovery Act, which saved and created more than 3 million jobs, provided the largest middle-class tax cut in a generation, and made landmark investments in clean energy, infrastructure, and education.

— We made critical investments in General Motors and Chrysler, saving tens of thousands of jobs — and perhaps the companies — and spurring a rebirth of the American car industry.

— We wrote into law student loan reform and credit card reform, which ended the worst abuses of the banking industries and are making lending fair for American families.

— We put two new Supreme Court justices on the bench — Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan, who bring rich and diverse experience to the Court.

— We have begun to reset America’s relationship with the international community, from the ratification of a new START nuclear arms treaty with Russia to tough new sanctions on Iran to strengthening our long-term partnership with a unified Iraq.

— And we finally repealed “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” which was the right thing to do — not only because it makes our military stronger at a time when it needs to be the strongest, but because we are seeking that military might with an abiding sense of justice.

Telling the story of the past two years will be critical to the fights ahead. And it’s not just the story of this president or this White House — it’s your story.

And it is literally proof that the organizing you do on the ground — the conversations you have with your friends and neighbors — is working.

Now, I’m not going to say the last two years were easy — and I won’t tell you the fights ahead are going to get any easier.

But I didn’t sign up for a cake walk. And I’m pretty sure you didn’t either.

We’re here to move our country forward. We’re here to lay a new foundation for this country — for our economy, for our politics, and for our children’s and grandchildren’s futures.

And, as Barack says, what we will be able to accomplish together is in your hands.

It’s how hard we all work, and how well we all tell this story.

Take a few minutes to read Promises Kept — and let’s keep moving:

Thanks for everything,

Joe

FYI – Hydrogen Peroxide VS Colds & The Flu

Uncle Earl — Thu, 20 Jan 2011 23:30:11 +0000

Hydrogen peroxide in the ears for the flu and colds?

Although it would appear to contradict what we are taught about the flu and colds, many people have tried hydrogen peroxide in the ears with great success. Hydrogen peroxide works quite well and is supposed to be effective about 4 times out of 5, especially if done when the symptoms first appear.

In 1928, Dr. Richard Simmons, hypothesized that colds and flu virus enter our bodies through the ear canal. It was Dr. Simmons’ hypothesis that, contrary to what we have been taught, we usually can catch the two via the ear canal and not through the eyes or nose or mouth as most of us believe. Dr. Simmons’ findings were dismissed by the medical community.
According to Dr. Simmons, keeping your fingers out of our ears will greatly reduce our chances of catching colds and the flu, but we need to keep in mind that these 2 are microscopic and can be air-born and may land on/in our ears. Once these microscopic bodies have entered the inner-ear, they then begin to breed, and from there they have access to every avenue throughout our bodies to travel, and infect and make us sick.
hydrogen peroxide in ear

Remarkable results can be achieved in curing colds and the flu within 12-14 hours when we administer a few drops of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) into each ear. The H2O2 starts working within 2-3 minutes in killing the cold or flu. There will be some bubbling and in some cases mild stinging might occur. I do this myself and I can assure you that it is not painful in any way. It tickles more than anything.

Wait until the bubbling subsides – usually a few minutes – then drain onto a tissue and repeat with the other ear.

Although this practice is perfectly safe for infants and children to use, the loud bubbling and stinging may frighten them, and they will need someone they trust to put the hydrogen peroxide in their ears. DO NOT get hydrogen peroxide in the eyes – if you do, flush with water.

Many people have also successfully used the 3% Hydrogen Peroxide solution in ears packed with wax, to help loosen it up after it has been soaked with oil for a few minutes (any oil will do, olive oil usually works best).

Courage Campaign

Uncle Earl — Wed, 19 Jan 2011 03:02:17 +0000

Dianne Feinstein, the senior senator from California, has been an opponent of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” since 1993. Please read an urgent message below from Sen. Feinstein on this new threat to full repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” and why we’re coming together to focus on real priorities.

Rick Jacobs
Chair, Courage Campaign

Dear Lacy:

Last month, I proudly cast my vote to repeal the discriminatory “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy, which I have opposed since it was first introduced in 1993. President Obama signed that bill into law, and it’s now on the path to implementation.

So imagine my disappointment today when I learned California Congressman Duncan Hunter is introducing legislation that would paralyze repeal efforts.

Rep. Hunter knows his legislation has no chance of success. Should it pass the House, it will never be approved by the Senate or signed by the President.

Worse, this effort is a distraction from the real work at hand. California is faced with an unemployment rate of 12.4%, a crushing budget shortfall, alarming health insurance rate hikes, crumbling infrastructure and a broken immigration system. Now is not the time for distractions that have no chance of becoming law.

Will you join me and the Courage Campaign in asking your member of Congress to reject this legislation, and instead focus on real priorities for Californians and the rest of America?

I was proud to co-sponsor of the bill that repealed “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” last month. As President Obama said upon signing repeal, “This is done.”

He’s right. This issue is settled. It’s time to move on to address what California needs, not look backwards to derail equality.

We need to get our economy moving here in California. As your Senator, I’ve always made that my top priority. Immigration reform, building smart infrastructure like high-speed rail that creates good-paying jobs, and helping small businesses succeed are also at the top of my list.

I think those are priorities that we can all agree upon.

Let’s ask the rest of my colleagues from both parties to come together on this. Join me and the Courage Campaign in calling upon your member of Congress to reject this divisive distraction, and focus on getting California and the rest of our nation moving again.

The stakes couldn’t be higher — and we don’t have time to waste.

Yours,

Dianne Feinstein

Lacy –

On Tuesday, January 25th, President Obama will deliver his second State of the Union address.

This speech will mark the start of a new chapter for this movement. 2011 will be a year of building on our past work for a stronger economy and a brighter future, while also protecting the progress we’ve made reforming our health insurance system, reining in the big banks on Wall Street, and more.

To help get the word out about the President’s vision for the next year, OFA volunteers will be holding State of the Union watch parties and strategy sessions across the country — and if we’re going to have enough events in enough places, we’ll need your help.

Will you host a State of the Union watch party?

Host a State of the Union watch party — get started now.

The President’s speech will be a great chance for us all to get fired up about jobs, health reform, and everything else 2011 has in store. That means it’s important that we have as many folks watching in as many communities as possible — which is why we need you to host a State of the Union watch party, including a strategy session for planning local action.

Hosting an OFA event has never been easier. You can hold your party at home, or you can use a community space if local regulations allow it. All you have to do is fill out a quick form, and we’ll set up the online event and send you everything you need to do the rest.

I’m hoping, as one of our top supporters, that you’ll step up and give folks in your neighborhood a place to watch the speech together and help plan what comes next for defending our progress on health reform and more.

The Peace Alliance

Taking Action: “Transforming the Public Discourse”
Letters to the Editor and other options to help inform the national dialogue

â€œLet us use this occasion to expand our moral imaginations, to listen to each other more carefully, to sharpen our instincts for empathy, and remind ourselves of all the ways our hopes and dreams are bound together… If this tragedy prompts reflection and debate, as it should, letâ€™s make sure itâ€™s worthy of those we lost.â€
~President Obama, Tucson Memorial Service

Dear Lacy,

Tuesday night over 200 people from around the country joined us for a conference call on soul searching after the Arizona shooting. On the call, attendees expressed pain, sadness, hope, frustration, and anger after the grave Tucson attack. Many felt concerned about the culture of violence that continues to haunt our nation. We also focused on solutions for moving towards a culture of peace, both in our political discourse and in our communities.

Here are a few ideas that you might consider, to help shape the dialogue and bring some measure of healing to this open moment:

Write a Letter to the Editor

Use our handy Letter to the Editor tool to encourage our fellow citizen to take on a shared responsibility for the support of our nations young people, and for the advancement of a culture of peace in government as well as in our communities. Youâ€™ll see sample material on our site to help inform a more peaceful dialogue and perspective. Itâ€™s easy and can have a real impact!

State of the Unity Parties

An inspiring and innovative project of “No Labels” is bringing together Republicans, Democrats and others for civility and unity.

From No Labelsâ€™s Kiki Mclean:

â€œOn Tuesday, January 25th, President Obama will deliver his State of the Union address to a joint session of Congress. Every year, across the country, Democrats watch the speech with Democrats and Republicans watch with Republicans. This year, its time we break past the divisions and do something different. We want you to host a No Labels State of the Unity Watch Party in your home by inviting your friends and family–of all political stripes–to join together for the Presidentâ€™s address. Register here to host a No Labels State of the Unity Watch Party!

Three Ideas for Congressional Comity and Civility
(from Third Way)

A think tank called Third Way issued an Open Letter to the Bipartisan Leadership of the U.S. Congress offering three unique new ideas for helping to restore some comity and civility in Congress Read the article in the Washington Post:

* Mixed (bipartisan) seating at the State of the Union, to avoid the spectacle of one side jumping up to applaud and the other sitting glumly.
* A bipartisan retreat for each house of Congress.
* Regular visits by Members of Congress to the district/state of a member of a different party.

Read the letter at: http://www.thirdway.org/publications/360

Three Suggestions for Peacemaking in Your Own Life

1. If you have any internal judgements of anybody, politically or in your life, notice any judgments of â€œwrong or bad.â€ Then connect, â€œwhat are the deeper needs of mine behind those judgements?â€
2. When you have disagreement with what others are saying (with politicians and media pundits, for example), see if you can empathize with the needs they are trying to meet, and see if there are ways you can relate to them.
3. If you are talking to someone who is expressing judgments — that you either agree or disagree with — try to reflect back and empathize with some of their needs.

These are paraphrased from Nonviolent Communication (NVC) facilitator John Kinyon, who helped lead our recent conference call. Learn more about NVC concepts and practices.

A Message From Michelle Obama :O)

Uncle Earl — Sat, 15 Jan 2011 00:01:49 +0000

Lacy –

The Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., is usually remembered for his heroic leadership of the civil rights movement — he led the successful Montgomery bus boycott, delivered the “I Have A Dream” speech at a time when such words were still controversial, and ultimately gave his own life to the cause of equality.

But Dr. King was much more than a civil rights champion — he was a man who lived his entire life in service to others, speaking out against poverty, economic injustice, and violence. Wherever he saw suffering, he did what he could to help, no matter who it was that needed him or why they were in pain. Through his leadership, he showed us what we can accomplish when we stand together.

Each January, we remember Dr. King on his own holiday — and one of the best ways to preserve his legacy is to engage in service ourselves. As Dr. King told us, “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is: ‘What are you doing for others?’”

That’s why from tomorrow, Saturday, January 15th, through Monday, January 17th, Organizing for America volunteers will be participating in service projects all across the country in Dr. King’s honor. There will be food drives, neighborhood clean-ups, education projects, blood drives, and more.

There’s an event in Los Angeles — please attend if you can, and help make this country an even better place.

Here are the details:

What: Service event

Where: Cedars Sinai Medical Center’s Blood Donor Facility
8700 Gracie Allen Dr. (Alden Dr.)
Los Angeles, CA 90048

When: Monday, January 17th
8:30 am

RSVP now

If you can’t make that particular service event, you can find others in your area here.

This movement is about so much more than politics — it is about coming together through progress, change, and community. Lifting each other up in dedication and service is one of the best ways not only to honor Dr. King, but to honor each other. By giving service a new role in this country, we can establish a new foundation for our economy and a brighter future for our children.

That is why service is key to achieving our national priorities, and why Barack recently helped out at a Boys and Girls Club service event. Since moving to Washington, D.C., two years ago, he and I have gotten to know the community through similar service projects, including past Martin Luther King Day events. I treasure those opportunities, and I look forward to another one next week. Every time we pitch in, we get so much back, and always learn amazing things from our neighbors.

All of us have something to contribute, and all of us can make a meaningful difference in someone’s life. It’s a great way to remind others that they are not forgotten, and to remind ourselves that there are always things we can do.

Please help Barack and me honor the legacy of Dr. King, and join us in service to our country once again this year:

“I think it’s important for all leaders… not just leaders of the Republican Party or the Democratic Party… to say, look, we can’t stand for this…we’re on Sarah Palin’s targeted list, but the thing is that the way that she has it depicted has the cross-hairs of a gun sight over our district. When people do that, they’ve got to realize there’s consequences to that action.”
-Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, March 25, 2010

Dear Lacy:

I know something about senseless violence.

I have never met Congresswoman Giffords, nor Judge Roll, nor any of the other victims of the shocking massacre that occurred Saturday in Tucson. But I recall as though it were yesterday the assassinations in 1978 of my friend and mentor Harvey Milk along with San Francisco Mayor Moscone. As if that were not enough, only seven years later, I was stabbed by a group of skinheads screaming “faggot.” For me, political violence has never been hypothetical.

Harvey received so many death threats that he stopped looking at them. He almost assumed he would be killed, because of the hate speech and incendiary language that foes of equality hurled with impunity.

On Saturday, it happened again. While no one knows for sure what drove Jared Loughner to commit this heinous act, we do know that the toxic political discourse in this country today- candidates talking about “second amendment remedies”, news networks featuring anti-government conspiracy theorists, and national political figures like Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin describing themselves as “progressive hunters” and urging followers to “reload”- lays the groundwork for this kind of violence (1, 2, 3, 4). We shouldn’t stand for it.

It has to stop. That’s why today the Courage Campaign calls on Rep. Darrell Issa, the Chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, to investigate the ties between violence and increasing calls for it in our national political dialogue.

Mr. Issa has promised to hold a hearing every day on various Obama administration programs and legislation. What about hearings on what led to this attack? How about an investigation into increasing calls for violence from national political figures, organizations, and the media? It’s time for him to call hearings now on the environment that led to the deaths.

We know that law enforcement and the judiciary will bring the perpetrators to justice. But that’s only this time. What about next time? We will never end this violence until we have an honest national dialogue about who and what is feeding it, and determine the steps that can be taken to prevent more violence.

Will you join me in calling on Chairman Issa to investigate how overheated political rhetoric can contribute to such violence?

Let us do more than bring the shooter to justice. Let us put the spotlight on those who are teaching the next shooter that violence is the answer.

Join me in calling on Chairman Issa to convene hearings, so that we may again become a nation of democracy and debate, rather than mob rule and violence.

Together,

Cleve Jones

An Excerpt from
The 100/0 Principle
by Al Ritter

What is the most effective way to create and sustain great relationships with others? It’s The 100/0 Principle: You take full responsibility (the 100) for the relationship, expecting nothing (the 0) in return.

Implementing The 100/0 Principle is not natural for most of us. It takes real commitment to the relationship and a good dose of self-discipline to think, act and give 100 percent.

The 100/0 Principle applies to those people in your life where the relationships are too important to react automatically or judgmentally. Each of us must determine the relationships to which this principle should apply. For most of us, it applies to work associates, customers, suppliers, family and friends.

STEP 1 – Determine what you can do to make the relationship work…then do it. Demonstrate respect and kindness to the other person, whether he/she deserves it or not.

STEP 2 – Do not expect anything in return. Zero, zip, nada.

STEP 3 – Do not allow anything the other person says or does (no matter how annoying!) to affect you. In other words, don’t take the bait.

STEP 4 – Be persistent with your graciousness and kindness. Often we give up too soon, especially when others don’t respond in kind. Remember to expect nothing in return.

At times (usually few), the relationship can remain challenging, even toxic, despite your 100 percent commitment and self-discipline. When this occurs, you need to avoid being the “Knower” and shift to being the “Learner.” Avoid Knower statements/ thoughts like “that won’t work,” “I’m right, you are wrong,” “I know it and you don’t,” “I’ll teach you,” “that’s just the way it is,” “I need to tell you what I know,” etc.

Instead use Learner statements/thoughts like “Let me find out what is going on and try to understand the situation,” “I could be wrong,” “I wonder if there is anything of value here,” “I wonder if…” etc. In other words, as a Learner, be curious!

Principle Paradox

This may strike you as strange, but here’s the paradox: When you take authentic responsibility for a relationship, more often than not the other person quickly chooses to take responsibility as well. Consequently, the 100/0 relationship quickly transforms into something approaching 100/100. When that occurs, true breakthroughs happen for the individuals involved, their teams, their organizations and their families.

House Republicans are moving forward to repeal all provisions of health reform, with a final vote scheduled for next week.

If they get their way, insurance companies will once again have the right to deny coverage to people with pre-existing conditions, drop or limit coverage if you become sick, and charge women higher premiums than men. Seniors will lose critical prescription drug savings and free preventive care under Medicare.

It’s sad but not surprising.

The motivations here have little to do with good policy. Repeal is just the first agenda item of a new Republican majority that is much more interested in appeasing their right-wing base and looking out for special interests than working together to create jobs and grow the economy.

Behind the scenes, insurance-industry lobbyists are working overtime with Republicans to take us back to the days when their clients were able to do whatever they wanted.

But this movement is different. We don’t take our cues from special interests or lobbyists, and we never will. We don’t take their money either, relying solely on support from folks like you — and it only makes us stronger.

Right now, Organizing for America is putting together a team of dedicated organizers and volunteers to defend our progress, stop repeal, and expose the Republican plan for what it really is.

Please donate $3 or more to help protect our progress — and stop the repeal of health insurance reform.

We fought to pass the Affordable Care Act because it was the right thing to do.

Its provisions are fair, reduce the deficit by more than $230 billion over the next 10 years, cut costs, and protect all Americans from the worst insurance industry abuses. The law is already making a difference in people’s lives.

Among other provisions, the Affordable Care Act:

— Prevents insurers from raising premiums by double digits with no recourse or accountability;
— Requires insurers to spend 80 to 85 percent of premium dollars on health care, not CEO bonuses — and if they don’t, they have to provide you a rebate;
— Frees families from the fear of losing their insurance, or having it capped unexpectedly, after an injury or illness; and
— Prohibits insurance companies from discriminating against pregnant women or denying coverage to children born with disabilities.

The Republican alternative at this point consists of a two-page addendum to the two-page repeal bill. It’s a plan to make a plan to have a plan.

Even without a coherent proposal, they won’t have trouble raising money to drum up support for repeal. Republicans’ close relationship with entrenched interests has benefited them in campaigns that did not begin — and will not end — with health reform.

But we’re fighting back with everything we’ve got — building a large-scale, grassroots effort to stop this repeal and protect our progress. Your support will fund the organizing that generates calls to Congress, neighborhood canvasses, and letters in our local papers.

Together, we’ll make sure our message is heard and understood: We stand by health reform and will not tolerate attempts to put insurance companies back in charge.

Donate $3 or more to fight repeal and protect our progress:

Lacy –

Our progress is under attack.

Their majority is not even a day old, but House Republicans are already getting ready to pass a bill to repeal health reform.

Instead of focusing on the future, they want to put insurance companies back in charge of our health care. To go back to the days when these companies could deny coverage to children based on pre-existing conditions, cancel coverage when people would get sick, or limit the care you could receive — even when you needed more. When seniors would be forced to choose between paying their mortgage and paying for their prescription drugs, simply because they landed in the “donut hole” in coverage.

They want to turn our progress into a partisan fight.

But you and I know that the Affordable Care Act and other reforms to protect consumers did not pass because of a partisan or ideological agenda.

They passed because millions of Americans stood up and said we were ready for commonsense solutions after years of fraud and abuse, for a new era of responsibility after unchecked power. They passed because, after 100 years of debate and negotiation, we said we would wait no longer for health reform.

These reforms passed because of you. Now, we must prepare to stand up for them again.

Organizing for America is pulling together a team of organizers and volunteers to defend reform — and we need you on this team. Together, we’ll show how our progress is already improving lives across the country — and take on those who are pushing for repeal.

Join the fight to protect our progress and keep Congress focused on the future.

It’s clear that’s not where House Republicans are looking — they’re putting the car in reverse and heading straight toward the ditch that we just spent two years climbing out of.

As the President said this week, we are still emerging from a recession that took a toll on millions of families, many of whom are still trying to get their lives back on track. The Affordable Care Act and Wall Street reform were important steps forward on the road to recovery, and we can’t afford to play political games with them now.

We have an obligation to ensure our progress is not rewritten by the insurance industry and big banks.

This year, we’ll need to stand by the President as he works to grow our economy, make the United States more competitive, and keep moving the country forward — but we’re also going to have to work hard to defend what we have already achieved.

Join the campaign to protect our progress:

“THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE”

2010 Update Equality California

Uncle Earl — Fri, 31 Dec 2010 09:23:18 +0000

December 30, 2010
Equality California | http://www.eqca.org

Dear Lacy,

Equality California worked hard to sponsor four pieces of legislation that will help many LGBT Californians when they take effect this Saturday, January 1:

* Authored by Senator Mark Leno, SB 543 will allow LGBT youth to access mental health services without their parents’ consent, ensuring they get the care that they need when they need it — without having to come out to their parents first.
* Authored by Assembly member Bonnie Lowenthal, AB 2199 repeals the reprehensible requirement that California seek the â€œcauses and cures of homosexuality.â€
* Authored by Assembly member Fiona Ma, AB 2700 will allow same-sex couples who are both domestic partners and married to dissolve their partnership and their marriage with the same process if they choose to separate.
* Authored by Assembly member Hector De La Torre, AB 2055 will grant same-sex couples who are about to enter into a domestic partnership the same unemployment benefits as opposite-sex couples who are about to wed.

We made a lot of progress in 2010, and with your help I know we can do the same in 2011. And we must.

LGBT youth need us to make their lives better now. More than 85 percent of them report harassment at school, and more than 33 percent of them report attempting suicide.

2011 will be the year that we make huge strides forward for LGBT youth. Equality California is sponsoring a bill in the new legislative session, authored by Sen. Leno, which will ensure all students learn about the contributions of LGBT people and the movement for LGBT rights in their social science classes. We’re also sponsoring a bill to strengthen anti-bullying laws with Assembly member Tom Ammiano.

This work cannot happen quickly enough. But we need your help to do it. Make a year-end gift to help us build support for our pro-equality legislation.
With your support and commitment, we can protect LGBT youth and advance the rights of all LGBT people. Please give today to support our work.

The board and staff of Equality California are truly grateful for your support and wish you and your loved ones much happiness in the New Year.

Jim Carroll
Managing Director
Equality California

We want to say thank you, Lacy

Lacy –

I’ve been in Washington for almost 40 years. I’ve seen a lot of Congresses come and go. But I can’t remember a group of lawmakers who accomplished more than the folks who just wrapped up their work.

With their help, we repealed “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” and ratified the START arms control treaty. We passed a new law to rein in the abuses on Wall Street and protect consumers. We reformed the health care system and passed the Recovery Act to get our economy growing again.

But do you know why all that happened? Because people like you rolled up your sleeves, dug deep, and decided to make a difference. We had a dedicated group of lawmakers — no doubt — but they were supported every step of the way by folks from all across this country who were ready for change. People like you.

I know how much that means to me. And I can’t even begin tell you how much it means to the President.

So here’s the deal: President Obama wants to send you a note to express how grateful we are for all you did.

Would you like to receive one?

Two years ago, we were staring into an abyss. The financial crisis was the worst this country has faced since the Great Depression.

But this Congress passed the largest set of tax cuts for the middle class since President Reagan, the largest education reform since President Johnson, the largest infrastructure investment since President Eisenhower, and the largest clean-energy bill ever.

Now — even though we still have a ways to go — the economy is growing again.

Prior to this Congress, lawmakers had talked about reforming health care for almost a century. But with the President leading the way, these folks went out, and — with you at their side — they did it. Now 32 million more Americans will have access to health coverage.

When we came into office, just about the entire country had come to realize that “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” was wrong. More than 14,000 brave men and women had been discharged simply because of who they were. With your help, we struck down that law and made this country a more just place.

Every lawmaker who worked to accomplish these things will talk about their votes — and the role they played in this progress — for years. The President and I take great pride in those achievements. But each one belongs to you. You believed in them, you fought for them, and we’re darn grateful.

Thank you — for everything,

Joe

Lacy, share our progress

Uncle Earl — Fri, 24 Dec 2010 09:31:39 +0000

Lacy –

This time of year, Americans around the country are taking the time to exchange heartfelt messages with friends and loved ones, reflecting on the past year. They write of achievements and setbacks, of births, graduations, promotions, and moves.

These messages allow us to overcome the miles that separate us. And they allow us to continue one of the most basic American traditions that has held folks close for centuries — the simple sharing of stories.

And as families gather around holiday tables this season, we also have the opportunity to share the stories of the change this movement has achieved together.

It is a narrative woven by individuals across America — in big cities and small towns, hospitals and classrooms, in auto manufacturing plants and auto supply stores.

These are stories of rebuilding, and of innovation. Stories of communities breathing new life into old roads and bridges, of local plants harnessing alternative fuel into new energy. Stories of small businesses getting up, dusting themselves off, and beginning to grow again. Stories of soldiers who served multiple tours of duty in Iraq now coming home — and enjoying the holidays this year in the company of loved ones.

These are stories of progress.

They unite us, and they are ours to share.

We’ve pulled many of them together in one place, PROGRESS. You can see what our reforms have meant to Americans in every state — block by block, community by community.

Click here to read about stories of progress in your area — and share them with your friends and family.

The reforms that we fought long and hard for are not talking points.

And their effects don’t change based on the whims of politicians in Washington. They are achievements that have a real and meaningful impact on the lives of Americans around the country. They are achievements that would not have been possible without you. PROGRESS localizes them — and brings them to life.

It tells of how a green technology business in Phoenix, Arizona, is using a grant through the Recovery Act’s Transportation Electrification program to bring the first electric-drive vehicles and charging stations to cities around the country.

It tells how, thanks to closing the “donut hole” in prescription drug coverage, a diabetic woman in Burlington, Vermont will no longer have to choose between purchasing her monthly groceries or the insulin she needs to survive.

It tells about how 136,000 Pennsylvania residents’ jobs were saved or created by the Recovery Act.

And about how, thanks to the Affordable Care Act, 22,900 small businesses in Utah’s 2nd Congressional District are now eligible for health care tax credits — and how 17,500 residents in Idaho’s 1st with pre-existing conditions can no longer be denied coverage.

There are thousands more stories like these.

In the coming days, as we gather with our loved ones at dinner tables around the nation, let’s pass them on. Let’s celebrate the spirit of service and responsibility that brought them to fruition. And let’s steady ourselves with the resolve to continue pressing forward.

Because the coming year will hold new challenges — battles that have yet to be fought, and stories of progress that have yet to be written.

Take a look at the progress we’ve made in your area — and share the stories you read with your friends and family:

http://progress.barackobama.com

Happy holidays, and God bless,

Barack

P.S. — Last week, seven OFA volunteers joined me at the White House for a special meeting — and they brought along your feedback from the Vote 2010 campaign. It was incredibly meaningful for me to be able to hear directly from supporters like you. And your input will be front and center as we plot our course moving forward into the new year.

“DON’T ASK, DON’T TELL”

Uncle Earl — Sun, 19 Dec 2010 21:22:44 +0000

Lacy –

Moments ago, the Senate voted to end “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.”

When that bill reaches my desk, I will sign it, and this discriminatory law will be repealed.

Gay and lesbian service members — brave Americans who enable our freedoms — will no longer have to hide who they are.

The fight for civil rights, a struggle that continues, will no longer include this one.

This victory belongs to you. Without your commitment, the promise I made as a candidate would have remained just that.

Instead, you helped prove again that no one should underestimate this movement. Every phone call to a senator on the fence, every letter to the editor in a local paper, and every message in a congressional inbox makes it clear to those who would stand in the way of justice: We will not quit.

This victory also belongs to Senator Harry Reid, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and our many allies in Congress who refused to let politics get in the way of what was right.

Like you, they never gave up, and I want them to know how grateful we are for that commitment.

Will you join me in thanking them by adding your name to Organizing for America’s letter?

I will make sure these messages are delivered — you can also add a comment about what the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” means to you.

As Commander in Chief, I fought to repeal “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” because it weakens our national security and military readiness. It violates the fundamental American principles of equality and fairness.

But this victory is also personal.

I will never know what it feels like to be discriminated against because of my sexual orientation.

But I know my story would not be possible without the sacrifice and struggle of those who came before me — many I will never meet, and can never thank.

I know this repeal is a crucial step for civil rights, and that it strengthens our military and national security. I know it is the right thing to do.

But the rightness of our cause does not guarantee success, and today, celebration of this historic step forward is tempered by the defeat of another — the DREAM Act. I am incredibly disappointed that a minority of senators refused to move forward on this important, commonsense reform that most Americans understand is the right thing for our country. On this issue, our work must continue.

Today, I’m proud that we took these fights on.

Please join me in thanking those in Congress who helped make “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” repeal possible:

Thank you,

Barack

Lacy

When Michelle and I sit down with our family to give thanks today, I want you to know that we’ll be especially grateful for folks like you.

Everything we have been able to accomplish in the last two years was possible because you have been willing to work for it and organize for it.

And every time we face a setback, or when progress doesn’t happen as quickly as we would like, we know that you’ll be right there with us, ready to fight another day.

So I want to thank you — for everything.

I also hope you’ll join me in taking a moment to remember that the freedoms and security we enjoy as Americans are protected by the brave men and women of the United States Armed Forces. These patriots are willing to lay down their lives in our defense, and each of us owes them and their families a debt of gratitude.

Have a wonderful day, and God bless.

Click Here For More Info!

The Boys: The Sherman Brothersâ€™ Story Their music is unforgettable. Their name is legend. THE BOYS: THE SHERMAN BROTHERS’ STORY is an intimate journey through the lives of Robert and Richard Sherman, the astoundingly prolific Academy Award(R)-winning songwriting team (MARY POPPINS, Best Original Song and Best Original Score, 1964). While their songs — “A Spoonful Of Sugar” (MARY POPPINS) and “I Wan’na Be Like You” (THE JUNGLE BOOK), to name a couple — celebrated family entertainment and happy endings, their life together was not as harmonious. Go behind the scenes for a fascinating glimpse into how Walt Disney used the language of music to bring the brothers together, creating a cinematic legacy like no other. With insightful bonus features, THE BOYS: THE SHERMAN BROTHERS’ STORY is a fascinating portrait of two immensely talented men who continue to enrich our lives.

President Barack Obama

Uncle Earl — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 07:26:59 +0000

Tonight marks the end of the American combat mission in Iraq. As a candidate for this office, I pledged to end this war responsibly. And, as President, that is what I am doing. Since I became Commander-in-Chief, we’ve brought home nearly 100,000 U.S. troops. We’ve closed or turned over to Iraq hundreds of our bases. As Operation Iraqi Freedom ends, our commitment to a sovereign, stable, and self-reliant Iraq continues. Under Operation New Dawn, a transitional force of U.S. troops will remain to advise and assist Iraqi forces, protect our civilians on the ground, and pursue targeted counter-terrorism efforts. By the end of next year, consistent with our agreement with the Iraqi government, these men and women, too, will come home. Ending this war is not only in Iraq’s interest — it is in our own. Our nation has paid a huge price to put Iraq’s future in the hands of its people. We have sent our men and women in uniform to make enormous sacrifices. We have spent vast resources abroad in the face of several years of recession at home. We have met our responsibility through the courage and resolve of our women and men in uniform. In seven years, they confronted a mission as challenging and as complex as any our military has ever been asked to face. Nearly 1.5 million Americans put their lives on the line. Many returned for multiple tours of duty, far from their loved ones who bore a heroic burden of their own. And most painfully, more than 4,400 Americans have given their lives, fighting for people they never knew, for values that have defined our people for more than two centuries. What their country asked of them was not small. And what they sacrificed was not easy. For that, each and every American owes them our heartfelt thanks. Our promise to them — to each woman or man who has donned our colors — is that our country will serve them as faithfully as they have served us. We have already made the largest increase in funding for veterans in decades. So long as I am President, I will do whatever it takes to fulfill that sacred trust. Tonight, we mark a milestone in our nation’s history. Even at a time of great uncertainty for so many Americans, this day and our brave troops remind us that our future is in our own hands and that our best days lie ahead. Thank you.
