Oprah Funds Another School

This one is right here on our homeland! The Ron Clark Academy, located in Chicago’s inner city, was most recently in the spotlight for the above YouTube. While the school focuses on arts and academia, and costs up to 14k to educate each child, parents pay a minimal fee. A majority of the students come from low-income homes and the difference is picked up by donors. Oprah threw her hat in the donor ring, giving 365,000 to the school, enough to fund the education of 26 children.

No Limitations.

Of all the coverage I have seen thus far, Sherri Shephard of the View brought me to a hot mess with this. Mamas, grab your tissues.

If you aren’t over saturated with the Election yet, check out this collection of Obama desserts. Primarily composed of cakes and cupcakes, some of them are quite interesting.

Isn’t it Ironic?

Is it just a tad bit humorous that Meghan McCain’s song of the day on her blog is “Don’t Stop Believin” by Journey? Come on…just a little?

On Repeat.

“The Masked Avengers” a Canadian radio duo who are known for prank calling celebrities, recently succeeded with a call to Sarah Palin. After listening to it, how did she not know this was fake??

If you need to find your polling place or the closest polling place to where you’re at [to drop off your absentee ballot!] then hit up Google Maps for Voters. It’s no-frills design helps you get to the voting location with ease. Seriously…is there anything Google CAN’T do?

Open Letter to Obama.

From some of the biggest players in the hip-hop game.

“It ain’t over, until it’s over. There is still so much work to be done. The thrill of victory is just 1 week away. We hear it in the streets, we feel it in our hearts and it’s burning in our souls. Together we have successfully registered the most young voters in the history of the modern political process. We called a State Of Emergency on October 3rd at 6:00AM and our culture stood up and recognized the importance of registering millions of voters. From 1st time voters who have just come of age to vote, to those who are participating for the 1st time in the voting process. Your commitment to Change will continue to ring across our America, because we all are in the Right State Of Mind.

Where it stands today, we are on the verge of making history, the kind of history that will be apart of our cultures legacy. The kind of history that bridges the gap between race, religion and culture, the kind of history that will ignite a light that shines bright from generation to generation, screaming that our voice does matter and our vote does count. The kind of history that will enable the next generation of leaders to encourage vision, not division, to encourage hope, not hopelessness, to encourage the power of the people, not the power politics of the few.

With only 7 days left before we vote for change, let’s hold ourselves accountable and responsible. No more excuses, no more mistakes and no more time to waste. If you have the opportunity to vote early in your state then vote today. If you are voting on November 4th, make preparation today. Bring your family and friends and plan for the party at the poles. Make November 4th the day we celebrate change – The day we celebrate freedom of choice. The day we celebrate power of all people. Lets all come together on November 4th, because it’s a family reunion. It’s our time and we are all in the Right State Of Mind.

We have 7 days to Vote for Change. 7 days to Vote to Make History. We can not slow down. We can not let up. We must push through to history until the final vote is cast and the last ballot is counted. We can, we must, and we will Make It Happen. Vote Obama/Biden on November 4th.

God Bless,

If you are someone’s CEO or boss, add your name to the Vote Hour list, supporting your employees in taking an hour out of their day to cast their vote on November 4th. Hmph, I anticipate it may take more than that, but that’s besides the point.
