Back in late September 2009 I wrote a song called “Rise Up America” and recorded it after seeing all the chaos go down at the G20 summit in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. I made a call for anyone who wanted to record this song to do so and to even change the words to their own country so that it is more personal.
It’s been a little while now but we’ve now got another version and from Italy.
Here are the two songs for Italy and America together:
Here is my original song with video from the G20 Summit:
I recently got an email from an Italian artist simply known as Alex or “d0ct0r” who heard my song and wanted very much to record it and make his own version for Italy. He sent it to me and this is what you are listening to. I like it very much.
Now that Italy is involved with the spirit behind the original song, my call still goes out for others to get involved. It’s up to us to take our world back from fear and destruction. We must rise above fear and anxiety!
Let’s keep this song chain going. It is important to get the spirit of optimism out. Thanks Alex!
I found this guy named Sean Kraft before Christmas who has apparently been on a Hunger Strike for 45 days.
45 days???
Yes. I do not know him personally and have really no way of knowing for sure if it is true but it is worth the media looking into at the very least.
Why is he striking?
Because of the current situation in the U.S. The Government seems to want to take more and more control and it is ever increasingly hard to have a life, liberty and to pursue happiness. Some people probably don’t feel this control because maybe they are too zonked out, distracted, playing games, basically just going around in circles in the rat race, or for other unknown causes.
So I am gonna report on him. He is demanding to talk to the “We the People Foundation” and get in touch eventually with the Continental Congress of 2009 and have a 3 minute press conference.
The mission of the We The People Foundation is:
1. To protect, preserve and enhance the unalienable rights, liberties and freedoms of the people.
2. To teach people that under our system of governance all power comes from the people and all government is limited by our written constitutions.
3. To help people become better informed about the history and meaning of every provision of the Declaration of Independence and their State and federal constitutions.
4. To help people become better informed about what is really going on in government.
5. To help people become better informed about how to confront unconstitutional and illegal behavior by those wielding power in government at all levels.
6. To institutionalize vigilance by the ordinary, nonaligned citizen-voter-taxpayers.
Sean has been posting daily on his weight change and you can read more about him at his site:
Have you ever thought that our real enemy is ourselves? America is falling from the inside not because of terrorists or other outside forces. Americans need to get up from their deep sleep and take our country back.
What was America built and founded on? Why did our ancestors come here? Have we lost our roots?
Now alot of us are all driven by a purpose of mockery: money at all costs, prestige, sex, fame, notoriety, wealth and fortune. I don’t think our founding fathers would want to be a part of our current culture.
What can we do? Demand better, resist fear, greed, anxiety, and mockery driven purposes. Everybody is wondering. What next? Must I stay in this never-ending situation? What should I do? What does it all mean? Does God care? Why should I care anymore?
A lot of stuff is going on right now that is more than mind-boggling. There are a lot of folks out there that have been negligent, ignorant, selfish and greedy. This I believe is why all this bailout, stimulus package has come about.
Do you think that throwing money at these people will help? No! Because it is an internal problem of the mind. It is bad habits and total disregard for doing the right thing. Yeah, in the old days people worked hard to get somethere. There are a lot of Americans still today that do work hard to get somewhere.
My Great Great Grandfather immigrated from France in 1846 to Ohio. He didn’t know English. He learned it and struggled his way to become a country doctor in New Bedford, Ohio. He struggled through hard winters and cared after people with pneumonia and other diseases of the day. There were no cars and he went around by horseback making calls on patients and would be gone from home days at a time. THIS IS AMERICA!
Many people have the “lottery” mentality wishing for everything under the sun to come there way without any lifting of fingers. It is sickening. I believe America will fight the good fight. There is something higher at play, here. Will we exist as a nation of hard workers or a nation of “lottery” lovers. The time is now to wake up and not settle for the mediocre, “I can’t” mentality. Get up, stand up, rise up! For God, For Country, For Honor!
Whose in charge here? We have forgotten what the country was made of. Overseas we get trashed for how America is now. They expect us to lead! How can we lead if we can’t even see through the confusion and chaos? I lived overseas for two and a half years and I was confronted on few occasions about American Politics. Let’s put it aside and go back to our roots. It’s burning within each of us. And by the way, Mr. Attorney General, Americans are not cowards. Shame on you! They stand for what is right.
