Achievements for January, 2008....

After the voting in last Tuesday's primary election in Florida, the presidential candidates are now down to six persons vying for the nomination for their prospective parties. This coming Tuesday, February 5, will be a good indication of how other voters across this wonderful Country are viewing the ideas, the rhetoric, the spins, the platforms, and the holistic philosophy of each individual candidate. Listening to each one of them other than from canned ads and misinformed prophets of doom and despair, you will learn the underlying reasons and their unique qualifications to be a Leader of our Great Nation. From now until late September we will be bombarded with all types of media hype and misinformation that sometimes....SMEARS....DISCREDITS....DESTROYS...rather than finding the positive silver lining in each candidate.

What have we learned from the past 88 years, there were Presidents and there were "presidents."
Each personality brought to the White House a special agenda and charisma that worked in some cases and backfired in other cases. In all cases, the team that surrounded the Presidents and the "presidents" were in tune with the special agendas depending upon historical factors and circumstances. To find a real "Diplomat" and "Outstanding Leader" in the various Presidents and "presidents" that we all experienced was evident sometimes and lacking in other times.

There were Presidents and "presidents" who lived their lives in exemplary fashion while others distorted and disgraced the Office of the Presidency. The total Team Package was noticed in some cases and hard to find in other cases. The balance of the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial Branches of our United States Government achieves many milestones and triumphs. But in the divisive approaches by the three Branches, we also see and have experienced instability and lack of true patriotism. The greedy have become more greedy; the powerful want more power; and the unethical will do anything to achieve a result at the expense of its citizenry and its constituents.

We are looking for Leaders at the local, county, state, and national levels who will listen to the concerns of its citizens and act on those issues that concern the common good. Having human laws that are contrary to divine law becomes a challenge fo r all concern. "Render to Washington or State Capitol what are Washington's or State Capitol's concerns and to God what really belongs to God. In fact, all of the citizens of the United States of America are leaders in their own right just where they are planted. You have to bloom where you are planted and make a difference in spite of what may happen at the National level or State level.

All citizens have a vested interest in their Country. The Silent Majority, which has grown over the years, will continue to make its mark on the caliber of its leaders and its representatives. The holistic concerns are challenging us to change for the better. TO GROW MEANS THAT EACH CITIZEN MUST BE WILLING TO ACCEPT THE CHALLENGE TO GROW SPIRITUALLY, PHILOSOPHICALLY, POLITICALLY, SOCIALLY, HUMANLY TO MAKE A REAL DIFFERENCE IN 2008! Let us climb the Ladder of Achievement by learning from the experiences of the past and transform ourselves to a new level of Patriotism and Pride in the United States of America. AMERICA BLESS GOD!
