More than any other time in my aware life, We must implore these princibles to become active in our interactions. I think we have a good year and a half before this economic crisis changes course. We know how to do this and for those so inclined...
let's get it on.

How Time Flies
At the time of this posting it had been close to ten months since referring to the election, that we needed to win. It is officially a fact that yes we did and "yes we can"... A new chapter is beginning and the saga continues. The Inauguration is scheduled for January 20, 2009 in Washington, DC. The Capital of the Nation. My! my! my!

Twelve Twenty-Five
THINKING OF YOU
Season's Greetings to each of you
thought filled with Raleigh, rain
Twelve twenty-five forever taken on the chin
was my number at the ballot box,
to usher Obama's win.
Merry Christmas Baby!

Letter to the Obama's
JOY WORKS INK

Dear President Elect Obama & Chief Mom First Lady,
I have been working as a volunteer for the Barack Obama, Campaign for Change since October 2007. It seems like eons ago. My first introduction to then, Senator Obama was during the Clinton’s Democratic Convention. Eight years later I heard that he was going to be a guest on Fariah Chideya, NPR, News and Notes to discuss his intention for candidacy. After hearing him, I made my decision right then and there, to be involved however I could be utilized. I have lived in Wake County, Raleigh, NC for over 40 years. While working with the campaign, I phone banked, canvassed, donated money and acted as the staging director for interior of the Southeast Raleigh community from November,
1-4. 2008. It was glorious, rain and all.
In April 2008, I was inspired and compelled to commit these few lines to paper. My motivation arose from the historic event that was unfolding before my eyes and Barack Obama's ability to overcome all odds and obstacles that were put in his way. In doing so, he showed all of us that the ideology of "Yes we can" is within each and every one of us provided we are willing to invest the maximum effort required to achieve our individual goals. I envisioned myself reading this poem at President-Elect Obama’s Inauguration. This poem has been on display in our Obama campaign headquarters location at 130 E. Morgan Street, in downtown Raleigh, since July 2008. Many who have seen it have commented favorably on its’ message of hope and enlightenment.
I recently had the distinct honor of sharing a few words with then Senator Obama and delivering this literary work on two occasions, to one of his assistant’s as he campaigned through North Carolina. Once on the night of the primaries… when we delivered and again at his visit to the State the week before the elections. We all know what happened in North Carolina, that week. Carolina Blue!
How fitting that the poem read at his Inauguration be also authored by a resident of North Carolina a “swing” or shall we say “the swing” State. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Respectfully,
Ajuba H. Joy
