mike --

We knew healthcare reform would face fierce opposition -- and it's begun. As we speak, the same people behind the notorious "swiftboat" ads of 2004 are already pumping millions of dollars into deceptive television ads. Their plan is simple: torpedo healthcare reform before it sees the light of day by scaring the public and distorting the President's approach.

***** "....... ... ." ??? *1003

We need the resources to take them head on with an urgent, grassroots campaign to pass real healthcare reform in 2009.

When the swiftboaters flood the airwaves with distortions, we'll flood the streets with volunteers armed with facts. When they send lobbyists to tell Congress to back down, we'll send millions of calls, letters, and stories from real Americans asking them to stand up.

Please donate $5 or more by midnight Sunday to fight back against these phony attacks and take our message of reform to the American people.

The swiftboaters are once again trying to sell the American people short. As during the election, we deserve a serious conversation -- not fear-mongering and deceit. You and I see the importance of healthcare reform every day. We can't miss this once in a lifetime opportunity to face one of America's greatest challenges head on.

Passing real healthcare reform will be the toughest, most important challenge we've faced together since electing Barack Obama President.

But it's also a big reason we fought so hard to get here. I know that by working together, and speaking with one, determined voice, we can prevail over the cynics and defenders of the status quo. America's families are counting on us to do just that.

Donate $5 or more to defend healthcare reform today:

Innovation, Part One
by Charles R. Swindoll *1002

**__**

^^^^^^^^^^^^

---??? *1007

Proverbs 12:1

Webster defines it: "The introduction of something new . . . a new idea, method, or device." When we innovate, we change, we flex. We approach the standard operating procedure, not like a soft-footed Native American scout sneaking up on a deer by the brook, but rather like Wild Bill Hickok in a saloon with both guns blazing.

"....... ... ." ---??? *101

It takes guts to innovate, because it requires creative thinking. Thinking is hard enough, but creative thinking---ah, that's work! To get the juices squirting, you have to be dissatisfied with the status quo.

Take photography, for example. For years, the same old procedure . . . which required long periods of delay. Nobody even thought about hurrying up the process. Not until a guy named Edwin Land formed a company with a funny name---Polaroid.

Sometimes innovation is forced on us. Take December 7, 1941. We got caught with our military pants down. Before American planes could get airborne, or even out of the hangar, most of them were destroyed. We were forced to ask the obvious: "How can we get the planes out of the hangars fast?"

A fellow by the name of Mitchell solved the problem in a most innovative way. He simply turned the question upside down and asked the unobvious: "How can we get the hangar away from the planes---fast?" The result (after the inevitable laughter and rejection) was a two-piece hangar. Each section was mounted on wheels with sufficient power to separate the two at thirty-five miles an hour . . . which enabled the fighter planes to take off in several different directions. Fast.

Now, you're thinking: Land and Mitchell are geniuses. And you are ready to toss in Newton and Bell and Edison and Ford and the Wright brothers. And you're also telling yourself that there aren't many of those gifted people spread around. Granted, those men might very well qualify as geniuses . . . but if you ask them, they'll tell you another story. J. C. Penney once observed, "Geniuses themselves don't talk about the gift of genius; they just talk about hard work and long hours." It's the old one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration answer.

Let's have four "greats" take the stand and testify. These are their actual words:

Michelangelo: "If people knew how hard I worked to get my mastery; it wouldn't seem so wonderful after all."

Thomas Carlyle: "Genius is the capacity for taking infinite pains."

Ignancy Jan Paderewski: "A genius? Perhaps, but before I was a genius I was a drudge."

Alexander Hamilton: "All the genius I may have is merely the fruit of labor and thought."

Are innovative people really that rare? Not if you listen to Sheldon David, TRW's former vice president:

The capacity to exercise a relatively high degree of imagination, ingenuity, and creativity in the solution of organizational problems is widely, not narrowly, distributed in the population.

You know what that says to me? It says there are a whole lot more innovative people (who currently see themselves only as "drudges") than any of us can imagine. In fact, you may very well be one of them!

We'll look into that tomorrow. You might be surprised at what you discover.

All, from the greast to humblest, must work
together in harmony and devotion. We can
make no advances with only solo work.
Unless the soloists and the members of the
chorus are ready to work together in
harmony, there can be no symphony.

The Sun is shinning this morning! Both Obama and McCain are the winner and achiever of Success in our Presidential Election 2008 for our Country's Distinguished History. This is the great country in our World with a precious property of 'Freedom, Democracy, Entrepreneurship, and Judiciary'. It has drawn the people from most of countries all around the world to pursue and journey a happier and richer village of the Earth in America!

"For the effort, diligence, and effectiveness to our country in the History, we are humbly all the contributors of this accomplishment. We'll all win through faith and perseverance as the Americans in America for a happy and prosperous country with the righteousness of union!" *1 "Success is a happy thing. Achievement is even more important. To emphazise both the ones who are with office (authority) and who are with influence (power) will probably a practice for the motto of 'United We Stand!' -- to be not just a dream!"

OBAMA, Barack, a Senator from Illinois; born in Honolulu, Hawaii, August 4, 1961; obtained early education in Jakarta, Indonesia, and Hawaii; continued education at Occidental College, Los Angeles, Calif.; received a B.A. in 1983 from Columbia University, New York City; worked as a community organizer in Chicago, Ill.; studied law at Harvard University, where he became the first African American president of the Harvard Law Review, and received J.D. in 1991," posts the Biographical Directory of the United States Congress.*397 "Obama, Barack. The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream. New York: Crown Publishers, 2006."

U. S. Senator Barack Obama has been one of the Distinguished Authors of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI).
WBTI's suggestion was, "John F. Kennedy won the presidential election with his outstanding performance by TV. The time now is the era of Internet and Search Engine Giants are marching on the road of Innovative Marketing!" The rising Senator Barack Obama, US Presidential Candidate, is one of the Distinguished Authors with outstanding work performance in writing, inspiring, and learning.

The feature articles written by Barack Obama in the PPAA Forum of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) have been enhanced by the world's leading search engines on Internet for positive and effective publicity promptly. His slogans and missions for election have been initiated, innovated, and refined by the efforts of his Campaign and WBTI interchangingly and mutually.

With Modern Stratagem, highlighted by the "$5 Modern Stratagem", which was invented and refined by WBTI through the theory and practice of Dr. Peter F. Drucker's Innovative Marketing, Barack has set up a sound foundation in winning. The significance of Barack Obama's local, national, and international visibility and popularlity has then enhanced by the brilliance of world's leading search engines on Internet all the way until his final winning as President-elect of the United States of America on January 5, 2008.

The U.S. Election 2008 has won a positive and historic record for the maximum population of people no matter of what differences in America or in many places arround the world that interested, participated or learned the event and education.

The Faculty and Advisory Board members of WBTI together with its President Dr. Tony T. Lei thanks hearfeltly and humbly for the opportunity given by Barack to learn and practise one of its missions for community service in this recent two years. We think and act; we act and think; and therefore, together we are. We all win. The journey on our accomplishment with Obama is now in action. It's a very challenged tasks and responsibilities. For Barack, for Entrepreneurship with Innovation, and most importantly for the people, we should learn to be more humble, diligent, and efficient with improvement and positive change! How nice and lucky that for more than 16 years we find a Man who is making and imlpementing our modern and distinguished history! As he is now leading in action, we are happy to have a new experience to learn more inspiration in change. Praise God!!!
