OUR DEMOCRACY, OUR CONSTITUTION.

                            OUR DEMOCRACY                                            

WE THE PEOPLE! THREE WORDS THAT HAVE SO MUCH MEANING. THE CONSTITUTION OF AMERICA GIVES "WE THE PEOPLE" MANY OPPORTUNITIES TO VOICE OUR CONCERNS OR SIMPLY SPEAK OUR OPINIONS. HOWEVER, WITH THE NEW "WHITE HOUSE" AND IT'S LEADER'S ARE ATTEMPTING TO TAKE AWAY THOSE RIGHTS. THE GREAT NEWS IS THAT "WE THE PEOPLE" STILL HAVE OUR VOICES AND ARE AND WILL STAND HAND IN HAND, SHOULDER TO SHOULDER TO DEFEND OUR RIGHTS. HISTORY HAS SHOWN US THAT WHEN WE STAND TOGETHER, THOSE WHO ATTEMPT TO OPPOSE US, FAIL. THIS IS A SCARY TIME FOR MANY. HOWEVER, THE ONLY THING TO FEAR IS FEAR ITSELF. THIS NEW ADMINISTRATION CAN NOT FIRE US. AS LONG AS WE STAND TOGETHER, THEIR IS NO ONE WHO CAN KNOCK US DOWN. NO MATTER WHAT COLOR YOUR SKIN IS, WHAT YOUR RELIGION IS, WHAT YOUR WALLET CONTAINS, WHERE YOU LIVE, OUR UNITY WILL MOVE US WHERE EVER WE NEED AND WANT TO GO. IT IS MY BELIEF THAT THIS IS A TIME OF TRIAL AND ERROR. WE WILL BE CHALLENGED, WE WILL BE DEGRADED, BUT WE WILL STAND AS A NATION AS BROTHER AND SISTER'S AND PROVE TO THOSE WHO CHOOSE TO CHALLENGE US, THAT WE ARE STRONG AND UN-RELENTING. GOD TELLS US TO PRAY FOR OUR ENEMIES. OFTEN TIMES IT IS DIFFICULT. HOWEVER, THAT IS WHO WE ARE. YES, WE CRY, YES WE SCREAM, YES WE GET ANGRY, HOWEVER, WE ARE BIGGER,WE ARE STRONGER, AND WE WILL NOT FAIL. WE ARE A DEMOCRACY THAT STANDS BY THE CONSTITUTION OF AMERICA THAT WE WILL FIGHT TO DEFEND. GOD BLESS AMERICA, LAND OF THE FREE, HOME OF THE BRAVE.

AMERICA

                                      AMERICA

The United States of America as we have known it, is in total disarray. This is not an assumptive nor metaphoric conclusion. People have cast their votes (Or Not) and a new President Elect has been chosen. Whaaaaaaaaaaaat? Yes, Donald J. Trump is the President Elect of our Country. A Country that has for all practical purposes been know as LAND OF THE FREE. I sincerely hope that all American's who have had the opportunity to live in a Democracy that allows us to be who we are meant to be, will always remember this year and the years that follow. The America that we all love and have been Blessed with will soon be only a Memory! Yes, it is true. There are things that will remain the same. The Rich will still be Rich, The Poor will still be Poor. For all us who have and continue to live in Poverty or the outskirts of Poverty will see NO CHANGE. For the Wealthy, you just got real lucky. As you will now know you will retain your Wealth and then some. As for DEMOCRACY? Let's just say it will be forever changed by this President Elect. A man who will not live in THE PEOPLE'S HOUSE, better known as THE WHITE HOUSE. Who wants to continue to live his Rich Life Style along with his Rich Family in their Rich surroundings. Never in the History of our Democracy have we EVER seen a President not want to live in OUR HOUSE. This alone should tell everyone something about the changes that will soon occur. OUR HOUSE is not good enough for this President. Having said that, now he wants ALL of his children to be recognized as ROYAL. In case no one has noticed, everyone seeking to bow down to this one Man must do so at his calling and in his REGAL PALACE. Which by the way sits in the middle of Manhattan in New York City and will now be known as WHITE HOUSE TWO? This is a Man who will change OUR DEMOCRACY as we once knew it, in order to live his life as he chooses, with whom he chooses while REPRESENTING OUR AMERICA? The WHITE HOUSE was built on the fundamental values that stood PROUDLY AS THE PEOPLE'S HOUSE. And all of those who enter it's door's to work for the PEOPLE is now a Hotel for those who choose to use it's space. With NO REGARD for it's HISTORICAL MEANING.  I have read many new's articles, watched many New's Outlets and of course, Social Media. However, what I find to be so disturbing is when I investigate things I have read or things I hear, whether it be People mentioned that the President Elect is interviewing for positions in HIS HOUSE, or other People who are on their knee's trying to become a part of HIS HOUSE.  The WHITE HOUSE has offered to assist the new President Elect to make the Transition to occupy the WHITE HOUSE, however, he chooses to build HIS HOUSE without any assistance from those who for years have helped new Presidents make this transition. Not because they just want to help, but because they know MORE THAN HE DOES!  He has and continue's to be defiant on every level.  And as far as whom he chooses to run OUR COUNTRY? Well, we will just have to wait and see. Keeping in mind that it will be far from the norm. Yes my friends, DEMOCRACY as we have all known it just got kicked out. A NEW DEMOCRACY HAS TAKEN OVER. We now have to adjust our way of thinking to Bigotry, White Nationalist, Sexism , and many other things that we as a NATION have NEVER had to deal with. The GOVERNMENT as we once knew it, is forever gone. Here we have an individual who now holds the Highest Roll in the U.S. and continues to see it as HIS AND HIS ALONE. Every decision, Every move of his selected officials will no longer be working FOR THE PEOPLE. They will be working for and only for TRUMP. He is already speaking to Foreign Leaders without any advise from the Individuals who have worked for the PEOPLE all of these years. Of course, his first agenda is to take them on a tour of his CASTLE. In Short Folks, WE ARE SCREWED! The GREAT AMERICA that we once knew has been taken over by a DICTATOR and NOTHING MORE. I Pray that each of us can do what we have always done in difficult times. Look after one another. And know that GOD IS BIGGER. Yes, the PRESIDENT ELECT may think he has all of the POWER, yet will soon be shown that HE DOES NOT. GOD BLESS AMERICA. LAND OF THE FREE, HOME OF THE BRAVE, FROM SEA TO SHINING SEA.

HISTORY BEING MADE IN THE U,S.A.

                            ELECTION 2016 HISTORY

Today we will all venture out to our Polling Places and cast our votes. I sincerely hope that we all take time to PAUSE and let our minds take us back to the beginning. Let our Hearts and Minds remember the things that upset us the most. There has been so much that has transpired during this Election Year that many of us have been spun around and around. Hearing one thing after another. However, we can not deafen our ears to what they have heard. We cannot close our eyes to the things we have seen. For those of you who are having difficulties making up you minds, spend that time reflecting back on Every Thing. The Primaries and all of the calamity that occurred during this time. Remember how other's reacted to things that were said and done. This election year has caused many people to lose friends, get angry with their families, and have actually left their churches because their beliefs differed from many in their congregation. THINK ABOUT THAT! America is not easy. It demands that we ask those who are going to be in charge of our Nation important questions. It is OUR RESPONSIBILITY of us to ask questions. This is OUR NATION. The WHITE HOUSE IS OUR HOUSE. Even though we choose those who lead our Great Nation, it is WE THE PEOPLE that they work for. We must decide if we want a Nation that continues to Love, Respect, and show RESPECT for ALL OF IT'S CITIZEN'S. Having said this, we must also remember that no one person is a mountain and can not make decisions solely on their own. Politics has ALWAYS BEEN a PARTY OF INDIVIDUALS, made up of other individuals that WE THE PEOPLE vote for. People that we expect, demand to work with whom ever we choose to lead our Nation. If we do not take the time to think about all of these things prior to voting, we have let ourselves down. Look at who you are voting for. In this day and age, we can by use of our Internet learn about these individuals. NO ONE should vote for ANYONE simply by what they say on a stage in front of an audience. We must look at these individuals beyond the crowds of people who gather to hear them speak. However, do we truly know them? I have NEVER met either party. However, I can do my homework and look them up on this here computer and learn a lot about their character, their contributions to our society, their beliefs and about their lives which are well documented if you just investigate them by looking them up. I have investigated many and must say, the picture of a few is not a pretty one. Not someone who I feel like will represent our Nation as one of Unity, Respect, and the Love of God and his Love for us all. We can not lose our core values simply to the voices crying out that they are the best choice for us. So where does this leave us? This is my opinion. Mine alone. One that I have spent a lot of time thinking about. And this is what I know as FACT. It has been 8yrs that we have had President Obama. And from the very beginning of his Presidency, his has met will many adversaries who wanted nothing but to bring him down. And he knew this. Opinions were based on his name. His color. And many other things. The one thing that I know as an absolute certainty. Our Congress are the ones who push the Policies and Issues forward for the President. We have for the last 8yrs seen a Congress that has in every way Blocked, and done many other things to show this President that he was not getting past them. Is this what we want in our Congress? A Congress that has repeatedly refused to work for THE PEOPLE. All because of their PERSONAL AGENDA'S. We must have a Congress that is willing to WORK. This Congress has shut down our Government, which has cost the hard working tax payers of this Nation billions of dollars. This has been the first Congress that I have known in all the years that I have been a voting American, that has refused to work for the AMERICAN PEOPLE. If this does not infuriate you, then you truly don't care about the Democracy of this Great Nation. I can remember easier times when both the Democrats and Republicans could reach across the aisle FOR THE PEOPLE. Knowing that their ONE RESPONSIBILITY was to do what was in the best interest of this GREAT NATION. If you are old enough to remember, we have all seen hard times and good times. However, over this 8yrs, this has gotten lost in the animosity of each party unwilling to reach out across that narrow aisle to do what is RIGHT. We deserve, DEMAND BETTER. Anyone who is not willing to do what is in the best interest of it's Nation, then we do not need them. This Election will affect the Lives of OUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN. We have already heard from the GOP that they will do EVERYTHING IN THEIR POWER TO BLOCK ONE CANDIDATE IF ELECTED. They have already set their goals NOT FOR THE PEOPLE THEY REPRESENT, but rather for their own continued Animosity. This is NOT DEMOCRACY. Our children have been listening. And yes, words do matter. They have sadly witnessed their families and others argue over either the Candidates, or their ears have heard the countless venom being spewed over phone calls and other activities. This is NOT WHAT WE ARE ABOUT. I Pray that when this Election is over, each of us will sit our children down and teach them that this IS NOT THE NORM. Teach them what Democracy Truly Is. Teach them about Respect and Love for their neighbor, their Friends and the Love of God who know matter how this Election Play's out, They have a GOD who is much Bigger than anyone else. Restore in them the Values and Morals that as Human Beings is RIGHT. We can not erase what they have already heard and witnessed. However, we as Parents, Grandparents and other Loved Ones, teach them the things that will make them Proud to be an AMERICAN irregardless of their Race, Color, or Creed. Then, we need to Pray that we live our lives in a way that will inspire our Children. Their not on any Ballot, but their lives are. 
                                                             GOD BLESS AMERICA!

MY CREED TO ALL SURVIVOR'S OF SEXUAL ASSAULT

A PERSONAL CREED FOR YOU

If you are recovering from abuse...I have written this creed for you. Memorize it and live it!

I am not a victim of abuse, I am a survivor. You will not control my life, my life is mine. You have hurt me, but have not broken me. My destiny is in my hands, though you tried to take it with yours. I will not be defeated, for defeat is not an option. I deserve to be happy, and I will be. I deserve to be loved and I am. I have hope, though you tried to shatter it. I have faith, my faith is unshakable. My revenge, is the life I live. In victory, I take away your power! I have arrived, from my life, you depart!

SURVIVING SEXUAL ASSAULT/INCEST AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

SURVIVING SEXUAL ASSAULT/INCEST AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

SURVIVING SEXUAL ASSAULT AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

Folks, I have heard from so many Survivor's of Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence recently. I felt compelled to write about it. 

So many individuals who have been sexually assaulted by a family member, or someone they new, or even didn't know. And all to many time's, this happen's at a very early age prior to them fully understanding the impact that it will eventually have on their lives. As time goes on, many individuals get cursed with the "Hush, Don't Tell" aspect of this horrific event, they keep all of their thoughts and feelings locked away deep inside of themselves. However, it begins to fester and turns into an enourmous wound in their everyday lives. It haunts them and angers them. However, after many years of the not telling nor speaking about their abuser or type of abuse, they carry this burden and feel that they are the ones who are the blame or at the very least have an extremely low self esteem. Many will go through their lives entering into yet another world of nightmares allowing themselves to be target's for Domestic Violence. Thinking for some unknown reason that they don't deserve any better. Feelings of disparity, ashamed, less than human. 

We have come a very long way in reporting abuse. However, there are still so many who have carried these secrets around for half of their lives. Either no one listened, or cared. Or they simply didn't want to or think they should talk about it. So, how do we change this?

By becoming empowered with Knowledge. You see, knowledge is power. Something that we learn as we get older. But how does that help the children who have yet to reach the age of understanding? 

As parent's, be vigilant. Listen intently to your children. Be observant of changes in their behavior. Changes in the socialization with other's. And always remember that it isn't just girl's who are abused, but also boy's. 

As a society, we must first believe that this happen's even if it has never happened to your loved ones or to you. If you have never been touch by this monster, then it is difficult to understand it from a victim's perspective. However, always be willing to listen. Although difficult at times and sometimes unbelievable, one must open their minds to the REAL WORLD and the ugliness that is prevalent here. No one chooses to be a victim. They are chosen. Without a voice in the matter. Without a protector to pull them to safety. Because this type of abuse is very elusive. Even in the best of families. It does not discriminate due to power or money, or status. This can happen to ANYONE! You might be surprised to know that you probably know someone who has been a victim of abuse. Because you see, they don't always tell. And it is often invisible. But still devastating in the quite of the night in their lives. Filled with nightmare's. Filled with disgust. Filled with shame.

This is a Journey I would wish on NOBODY! However, if you have been affected by this Monster known as Sexual Abuse/Incest or whatever name or label you place on it, PLEASE, release yourself from it's grips and SPEAK OUT! No longer do we have to be silent victims. We can only become survivor's if we recognize that WE are INNOCENT. That innocence was taken from us. We did not give it away! However, we can never go back and reclaim what was taken. But, we can go forward with the knowledge and power to take control back in our lives. Learning forgiveness is extremely hard. But, very necessary in order to let go of the darkness of yester-year. Trying to be strong in the face of adversity is very difficult. 

That is why we are called SURVIVOR'S.

                   TRUMP ERA ENDING SOON

We are getting very close to the end. The Election is rapidly approaching. Many of you have heard the Messages from both sides. And I must say, this has been a very Nasty Election Year. We have heard Trump call everyone who dare to defy him every nasty name he could come up with. He has repeatedly said "I'm gonna win so much you all will be begging me to stop winning".Well Mr. Trump, we are already tired of you and you haven't won anything! Now,we just want you to SHUT UP. As for Hillary, she can handle herself very well. We all have our reservations this year about both Candidates, however, one thing that many of us know for sure. Trump is in this only for the WIN. If her were to be elected (and that's a BIG IF), What does he do then? He can't even give a speech without having his staff (what's left of them) write it, coach him on how to present it, and then Pray he stay's on script. He has NO IDEA that if he were to be elected, he does not have the final say! He seem's to forget there is this thing called the CONGRESS. Nothing get's done without them. We have seen this during President Obama's term. He has been blocked at every turn. Our Government has shut down more during this Administration than any prior. Yes, for now it is controlled by the GOP. However, a CHANGE IS COMING. Mr.Trump can NOT simply say "YOUR FIRED" to the Congress if he doesn't get his way. With his Narcissistic behavior, he would be IMPEACHED within the first year. I SINCERELY HOPE that the Great Citizens of THIS GREAT NATION stand firmly against someone who will only spread more HATE AND ALIENATE OUR ALLIES. If one can't or doesn't like Hillary, you still have CHOICES. Don't vote for someone just because they are Republican or Democrat, CHOOSE WISELY. Write in who you want, or vote for another Democrat or Republican. But DON'T JUST ROLL WITH THE FLOW. WE THE PEOPLE STILL HAVE A CHOICE! I know what I will be doing. And I Pray that ALL AMERICAN'S WILL MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE. WE ARE THE PEOPLE. WE DESERVE BETTER. DON'T SETTLE FOR LESS. GOD BLESS AMERICA.

TRICKY TRUMP

                                   TRICKY TRUMP

Many of us have seen the numerous negative comments that Tricky TRUMP has made about our country and many other issues. However, when you take aim at a disabled individual and then DENY IT, saying "I never met the guy. I didn't know he was disabled". I would never do something like that". This man can not APOLOGIZE! It is beneath him to admit a wrong of any kind. He Stated "Russia, I hope your listening! Find all of the 33million emails Hillary deleted". Then he has the audacity to say, "I was just being sarcastic". Well, Tricky Trump, the world is watching.  And they aren't looking at you being sarcastic! Our enemies are taking ANY OPPORTUNITY to cause mass calamity all over our Nation. And You want to edge them on? Not one time have you actually gave any of the American People a vision of hope. A clear Plan for the future of Economic Growth, Foreign Policies" Enviromental Protection(which you don't believe exsist), etc. All you to is tell the American People "Believe me, it's gonna be huge" Or, even more ironic, "Look folks, I alone can fix this". New's flash Tricky Trump, THE WORLD DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY. We all know that it takes a village. Meaning, WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER. However, to a Narcissist, I guess the words, Me, I, Alone have some unique sick, twisted meaning to who? ONLY YOU! I for one have heard enough of your sick rhetoric to last me a life time. And believe me, Bernie doesn't need ANYTHING from you. Not even you to speak his name. He is better than that. So Tricky Trump, here are my sentiments towards you. Move to RUSSIA.
