Sign the Greetings Wall for Obama
November 8th 2008 08:35
Hi Orble World!! Nice to read you again! The following is from AVAAZ, and you can join history by adding you own message for Obama by clicking on their link. They will put it on their wall in Washington DC, . "In just 24 hours, over 150,000 people from 189 countries have signed and sent a message for Barack Obama to our (AVAAZ) huge global wall in the centre of Washington DC, and it has been covered on CNN, BBC, Al Jazeera and in the US on front pages of two of the biggest newspapers and on the evening news!
Together, we're helping to seize Obama's election as a major global moment for unity and reconciliation, when the US can finally join with the world community in facing our common challenges together. Our message congratulates Obama on his election and commitments to stop climate change, withdraw from Iraq, double aid for poverty, ban torture and more.
Avaaz's Global Message to Obama Wall in Washington DC has become THE place for citizens around the world to speak to Obama. If you haven't already, follow the link to add your name, and send this email to friends and family who might want to join in:
Message to Obama site
Change will not come easily to the US or its foreign policy. Entrenched interests -- including oil companies, war contractors, and neo-con ideologists -- stand in the way. But those interests have always sought to divide us -- the greater international unity and goodwill we have, the better we'll be able to confront the challenges head on and make progress as one world. The Global Obama Message Wall is a symbol of change and an investment in the new goodwill between the US and the world -- with major global climate change negotiations coming up next month, it will not be long before that good will is tested. Let's get to a million messages to Obama!

Go for it Orbelians!
I did.
You can send either, the pre-prepared message AVAAZ wrote, or write your own. If it is imaginative enough, maybe one of Obama's minders will see it and show him, you never know!!
We live in a new era; let us pray Barack Obama is the answer and puts the real "evil doers", Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld etc, where they belong, in the forgotten, powerless past!!!

tanx, it is AVAAZ's article actually, which is why I put it all in quotes, just in case you thought I had become "intoooligent"..tee hee.. anyhoo, it is nice to think we can type away down here, and our message will appear on that wall in Washington, at the end of the long water feature with the pinnacle at the other end, where Barack Obama gave his speech..very groovy..

yes he is "there", but what he does there can dramatically affect what happens in our neck of the woods, upon our economy and our security.
So, it is important not just for America, however, obviously it is fantastic for America, as they can now truly hold their heads high and deserve the respect and admiration of the free world, and hopefully, a lot of the Middle East will start to think differently of them too.
