Dear Mr. President, standing by Geithner you have got to be kidding; time for him to go!

January 27th, 2010 · Arthur Klein, Conscious Business, Dear Mr. President, Review & Op Ed, corruption, government, historical

Your request is being processed... Tim Geithner Testimony: Treasury Head Slams Congressman, See The Latest Updates (VIDEO)
You have to check this guy out

CSPAN Geithner Testimony today January 27, 2010 (complete CSPAN feed)

Dear Mr. President,

After watching Timothy Geithner testify today, I am appalled & quickly losing my respect & support for you & your administration.  I hate the alternative but you are not doing the people’s bidding & you are not protecting us from the true evil forces that would have us enslaved….

This morning Geithner’s disrespect for our Congress, his hiding behind his office instead of elevating the office by full disclosure of what has actually happened with AIG & Goldman Sachs is disgusting.  The government should represent us ;not just as citizens, but as investors in this debacle & we should be given full disclosure all the way back to the beginning history of these companies, if that is what we require to regain trust as investors & in trust in you & your administration.  (see video from today 2010-01-27 Congress)

After this morning’s testimony the world now sees this smug, lying, SOB who considers himself above it all, by his stance, demeanor & holier-than-thou self serving attitude in the guise of public good, to this display of disrespect, I am personally sickened.  Remember this is the guy who couldn’t even pay his own taxes and he was still confirmed.  What is that about?

The biggest problem today is your credibility.  As long as you stand behind secretary Geithner & Fed chair Bernanke you will be perceived as part of this incredibly corrupt aristocratic & self serving system…  Their actions have given you an out in reference to your responsibility to them… I believe that  this is the universe throwing you a life line to get out of your misjudgments in appointing Geithner & in your support of Bernanke confirmation in the first place.  If both of these despicable individuals wanted to help this country they would resign & make it an easier transition for you, back to the perception of Barack Obama as the President of the People.

IMHO, if you don’t announce the resignation of Geithner & a different nominee for the Fed than Bernanke, you have lost the credibility of the words that express your intention.  In fact at this moment in time, you are running the risk of not even being a good or fair 1 term president.  If you don’t start to live your truth of representing us you will become a joke & I know that you are better than that.  Maybe you should take this afternoon & watch “Jerry McGuire” & “Searching for Bobby Fisher” These films would certainly bring your heart & mind back to the task at hand. In fact I think your family would enjoy both films too.

Wishing you & our country the best of everything,
in Love, Light & Peace,

I am hopefully you will chime in here with a comment and message the President at the White House

Dear Mr. President, It saddens me deeply to write this letter

January 26th, 2010 · Arthur Klein, Conscious Business, Dear Mr. President, Review & Op Ed, corruption, government

Dear Mr. President,

It saddens me deeply to have to write this letter to you.

When you ran for the office of president of the United States, you had me at hello and now you are losing me as you take care of big money, big banks and Wall street bailouts, with no oversight.  All this can be seen as pandering to the ruling class (big bonuses, wasteful spending and an arrogance by the very rich)…  We the middle class soon to be the poverty class have been left behind.  We are in an emergency situation fighting for our survival…  We don’t have the luxury of patients… We need help yesterday and have been ignored while the rich go on with their lives saying that things will end as we know it if we don’t bend over once again.

I am so close to being done with you and your administration; I can taste the food you are feeding us, your hopeful Americans citizens as this food stinks worse and worse as it goes bad, you talk a good game but your execution has been awful.  You have forgotten us, we the people who put you into office!  This is a critical error in judgment… You need to get rid of the crooks Bernanke & Geithner they are giving you disastrous advice.  If you don’t do that, as well as get our stolen money back, i am done with you and your administration.  You might as well stick a fork into me cause i am done.

If you don’t clean house we will in the next election.  I hope every day that you will see the light and do what we hired you to do and make things right for us… WE THE PEOPLE!

IMHO, You need to ask yourself the important question; Would all that I am doing and not doing as President of the United States, make my mother and grandmother proud or would they give me sh*t for not living up the task at hand.  Are you a man or a mouse?  DO THE RIGHT THING FOR YOUR PEOPLE NOT BIG BUSINESS!

in Love Light and Peace,
Om Mani Padme Hum,

Request to Save Democracy from Alan Grayson Dem. of Florida

January 25th, 2010 · Conscious Business, corruption, government, historical

The following is a letter from Alan Grayson, I have signed this petition and hope you will consider doing same…

If not now when?  If not us, who?  WE are the change.  It is time to dig in and follow what we know in our hearts; that which we stand for in the most basic of thoughts…

Who are we , what are we at our best and what does it take to achieve this American way of life, spiritually, ethically and morally?

Last week, five Supreme Court Justices stabbed at the heart of democracy, our electoral system.

They overturned over 100 years of statute and precedent, and declared that corporations can spend all the money that they want to buy elections. In fact, these five men in robes declared, they have a constitutional right to do so.

Now, we have to fight.

That’s why I just signed Rep. Alan Grayson’s petition to support his “Save Our Democracy” platform, because we cannot have a government that is bought and paid for by huge multinational corporations. We need a government of the people, by the people, and for the people.

I hope you’ll join me.

Arthur

Dear Mr. President Obama, Geithner must go NOW!

January 19th, 2010 · Dear Mr. President, corruption, government

Dear Mr. President

If you want to save your credibility and perhaps your agenda  as a  “change we can believe in president”, Geithner must go.  He Represents all that is wrong with the Fed, Banking, Big Business & Wall Street and their embezzlement of the American people; your people.

…GEITHNER HE HAS GOT TO GO NOW…

Think of the memory of your mom and grandma and use them as a lens and filter for all that you must do now.  How would they feel about this and your health care choices.  If they would be OK with what your doing so would I.  You need to wake up before it is to late.

Thank you for listening…

in Love Light and Peace,

In Honor of Martin Luther King’s birthday my favorite quote

January 18th, 2010 · Conscious Business, Uncategorized, big mind

“Cowardice asks the question, Is it safe? Expediency asks the question, Is it politic? Vanity asks the question, Is it popular? But conscience asks the question, Is it right? And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but he must take it because his conscience tells him that it is right.”
~DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR.

Earthquake Mission Trip to Haiti: Day 1

January 16th, 2010 · Uncategorized, seva

I was so touched by this message sent to me at fb that I had to share it with you…there is light in the darkness

Sheila Marie Young January 16 at 7:43am Reply
Today has been truly a blessed day.

Sheila arrived safely today in the Dominican Republic and met up with a friend at a hotel in Santo Domingo and is doing well (blessing #1).

As soon as she arrived, she got to work, volunteering for the Centro Bono and preparing supplies to be taken to Haiti.

We also discovered today that there is a huge need for food and medical care in Jimani, a small border town in the Dominican Republic through which runs one of the primary routes between the DR and Haiti. Earthquake victims are arriving there by the truckload (literally) and hospitals there are overwhelmed.

Come to find out, one of my Dad’s friends, Dr. Marc Pinard, runs a clinic, hospital and orphanage, right there in Jimani and is in desperate need of help!! This sounded like a great opportunity to provide medical care to many people in need (blessing #2). With that said, our plans were made. Sheila would buy the needed supplies and head out to Jimani the next morning.

So next came the need for transportation. That’s when I recalled that my brother, Marlon, was actually running a business providing transportation services between the DR and Haiti. A few texts, chats and phone calls later, we had a truck and driver lined for the trip!!! (blessing #3)

Then, this evening, as Sheila was walking through the hotel lobby, she met a random group of people wearing medical scrubs. Sheila approached them and struck up a conversation with them… Come to find out, these people were heading to Jimani as well… and… they were heading straight to Dr. Pinard’s hospital to provide medical care and supplies!!!! In fact, some of the folks Sheila met were actually Dr. Pinard’s partners and had helped found and build the hospital!!!!!! And this gets even better… the group invited Sheila to go with them to Jimani (who can resist her charm?:)) and will use my brother’s truck to FILL IT UP with food and medical supplies… and this ain’t no small truck here… (this must count for at least 2 to 3 blessings).

So, there we have it. By God’s grace, our plans have been set in an extraordinary way… we could not have planned it any better ourselves! Sheila will be going with the group tomorrow to fill-up the truck with food and head out to Jimani!

Thank you all for the continued support and donations and please keep praying for us and for Haiti.

Mitchell & Sheila.

PS: Here are some links with information about the hospital in Jimani and Dr. Pinard.
