The voting in of President-Elect Barack Obama has shown that in America racial differences have been accepted and honored!  Now, we as Americans, need to go even further and show that the power of our Constitution is real and that it works. We can set an example to the world that religious acceptance exists.  We CAN stop religious war!!!

I remember watching on television Selma, Alabama in the 1960’s.  It was painful and horrifying to see America not living up to the Constitution, harming our own people.  At this time in my life, my husband and I were going through a hard time financially.  In the past, my husband had given me a gold charm bracelet; I treasured it thinking it would be a heritage for my children.  But, as I watched in horror at what was happening in America at that time, I thought, “what good would a gold bracelet do if my children cannot inherit the American dream?”  So, I sold the bracelet and sent the money to a little church in Selma, Alabama.  I still have the thank you letter I received.

 
The last time I was on Oprah Winfrey’s show, the format was like all other talk shows - semi “National Inquirer”.  Oprah quickly separated herself and her show from that genre and moved to display what she does best --  inspire spirituality and to spread the word of goodness.  Since that change, I have been an Oprah follower and, I suspect, 55% of Oprah’s watchers are white women.  Thank you, Oprah, for stepping forward and supporting Barack Obama.  Thank you, Oprah, for showing America when to spread their democratic wings.  Now there won’t be another Selma, Alabama or another Katrina.  I am proud to be an American.  God and Goddess Bless Oprah and our President-Elect, Barack Obama.

Just because you are cozy, warm, and safe in your cubicle at your office job, you feel secure going to the supermarket because no one knows you are a Witch.....

The woman at the check-out counter cannot tell what religion you are, therefore, no matter how ignorant she is about your religion or the laws that protect it, you feel safe. It's OK to hide...Catholics hide, Buddhists hide. A lot of religions hide from the rest of the world, yet, they have been in human consciousness and the public eye for thousands of years and have not been maligned in the public view. Most people, the general public that is, have no idea you are a WITCH. Your local policemen, most likely haven't got a clue that they are required by Federal and State Law, to protect you when your civil rights are being denied. You could come out of the safety of your hidden persona and help us to educate and alert the general public and those around you that it is their responsibility to stand up for you as much as they do for our troops, other religions and minorities, and the American Flag. See what you can do to make things right again. So we can stand up, proud as Americans and as Witches.
