Next Wednesday Evening, President Obama Will Deliver A State of the Union Address.

Joseph Raglione
Gentle people of the United States, next Wednesday evening, President Obama will deliver his State of the Union address. I do have some ideas of what he is going to say:

1. A protected and working Clean Air and Water Act.

2. The closing of Guantanamo.

3. A "public option" universal health care bill.

4. The removal of U.S. soldiers from Iraq.

5. Rebuilding and Uniting all World Nations towards disaster relief and peace keeping. U.N. for short.

6. Explaining to U.S. and world banks that they are in deep doo doo for lending money indiscriminately to poor people like myself...and actually wanting the money back with interest! For shame...shame I tell you! Grin!...>

Subject: Host a State of the Union Watch Party?

Joseph --

Next Wednesday evening, President Obama will deliver his first State of the Union address. The President will lay out a clear vision of the challenges we face and our national plan to meet them.

Certainly, the path toward change got a bit steeper after Tuesday's disappointment in Massachusetts. But this movement has persevered before, and Wednesday's speech is an important opportunity to reconnect, take stock of the road ahead, and continue forward together.

So OFA members will be gathering at State of the Union Watch Parties in living rooms across the country. We'll huddle on the phone with Obama for America campaign manager David Plouffe, and plan for what comes next.


Can you sign up to host a State of the Union Watch Party?

If you can provide the TV, telephone, and living room, we'll invite folks in your area to join you. Together we'll launch the next phase of our work together in your neighborhood -- and across the country.

We still have a lot of hard work in front of us to finish the job on health reform, fight Wall Street abuses, rebuild our economy, create clean energy jobs, and address all the other challenges we face.

Just this morning, President Obama proposed new restrictions on the size and scope of financial institutions as part of his efforts to protect taxpayers and rein in excessive risk-taking by banks. And these State of the Union Watch Parties are an important way to play a role in what comes next.

No experience is needed to host a successful event. You may be surprised at just how easy it is to do. Just sign up online today, and a local OFA organizer will be in touch to answer any questions you have and support you through every step.

Especially in the wake of Tuesday's election, there are a lot of fellow OFA supporters in your area who want to come together for this speech and get involved -- but first they need a place to meet.

About Joseph Raglione
Hi! I am the executive director of the World Humanitarian Peace and Ecology Movement. I began as an environmental activist in 1969 and basically, never stopped! I Graduated College in Social Science and registered as a non-profit corporation in 1988 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. I am one of a very few non-profit and generic freedom loving journalists left on Earth, and I continue today to study and to understand the problems connected with human activity on this Planet. My affiliates include: GreenPeace, the Nature Conservancy, the Bio-diversity organization, the Sierra Club, the David Suzuky foundation, the WWF, Amnesty International, World Vision, the IUF organization; as well as the wonderful and independant N.A.S.A. scientists studying our Planet's weather systems. Of course NASA also studies the mysteries of the Eternal Universe with satelite generated images and, over the years, have generously allowed me and thousands of our world scientists to study over their shoulder's via the Internet.
In spite of some past U.S. government repression, NASA continues to provide solid evidence of global warming.
NASA has provided me with pictorial evidence of Rainforest deforestation within: Jakarta, Peru, Africa, Brazil and even in Western Canada!
The motivation for such destruction continues to be (often illegally) for: lumber, for bio-fuels, and for Cattle ranching. Today, the perceived future profits for Palm Oil and for Bio-Fuels are prime motivators for environmental destruction. Small crop farming also contributes but that may be changing as farmers learn to protect the Rain-Forest.
With NASA imaging, there is proof that large city heat traps are helping global warming, and with (infrared images)there is proof that several hundred million gas burning vehicles (including ship and airplanes) presently create a hugh quantity of pollution tracks across both Oceans and Sky.
With oil, gas, Coal and Bio-Fuel heated buildings around the world creating C02 emissions, and with Methane release from all animal species...giant Ozone holes have been created and continue to exist above the North and South Poles. Ozone holes allow the Sun to radiate the Ice Caps and to accelerate the Ice melt, which releases more Methane into the atmosphere, which continues to thin out the Ozone. A vicious circle created by human need and also, unhappily, by human greed!
I have been asked to write to the Prime Minister of Japan to ask him to stop the murderous assault on endangered Whales. Every year, thousands of Whales are killed in the Antarctic with GreenPeace volunteers placing themselves between the Whales and the grenade tipped harpoons, and peope like myself, (I did not forget this is my "Bio," putting my old neck on the line attempting to change the situation by writing thousands if not millions of words!
Are words dangerous?
Over three hundred journalists were killed within the last ten years. You tell me if words are dangerous!
As I write these words, the desperate and starving in Darfur are waiting for rescue. I motivated a few kind hearted California Actors to visit the region and to report back. They did! They then created the Darfur coalition and they continue to fight to save the innocent victims trapped in tents in the desert of the Sudan. Darfuri's were attacked and moved from their homes because somebody believes there is Oil under the Sudan desert.
As I write this, a few sick and desperate people in Iraq are wrapping bombs around themselves in order to die in the name of God, and the list of humanitarian disasters continues. I also contribute information to the Reuter's news service. It is time for a change. Please help make it happen!
