MLK Birthday Tribute
In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday, I think we should all take the time to read and view some of his work. Too often he gets quoted out of context by people with no real understanding of what he was trying to say.

The AMERICAN DREAM is a 30 minute animated film that shows you how you’ve been scammed by the most basic elements of our government system. All of us Americans strive for the American Dream, and this film shows you why your dream is getting farther and farther away. Do you know how your money is created? Or how banking works? Why did housing prices skyrocket and then plunge? Do you really know what the Federal Reserve System is and how it affects you every single day? THE AMERICAN DREAM takes an entertaining but hard hitting look at how the problems we have today are nothing new, and why leaders throughout our history have warned us and fought against the current type of financial system we have in America today. You will be challenged to investigate some very entrenched and powerful institutions in this nation, and hopefully encouraged to help get our nation back on track.
This is a thiry minute educatainment film.
Also, the facts in the film can be easily researched. So if you don’t believe it, do your homework.
Change Christopher Columbus Day to a National Indigenous Holiday
Sign the White House Petition now!
Our fellow followers, SJ Tumblrs and PoC Tumblrs, we need to stand united for a cause. A cause that many have tried, but failed. We will take up the mantle that they left and will give the aboriginals of this country the respect they deserve.
And we will do this by making the Obama Administration reconsider Columbus Day. Why not, you asked? What makes this year different from other years?
It’s an Election Year and tumblr bombing tends to make things happen.
We’re maybe asking for a symbolic change. A change that could be considered a minor win, but is important in order to show that we are the people of the USA and we need to show that we can be forgiving. American exceptionalism be damn!
We asked one follower at random to start a petition. However, it’s not at Change.org. But with the White House.
From now until September 6, 2012, we need
25,00050,000+ signatures for the petition at “We the People” petition site, targeting the Obama Administration to change the Holiday.We’re sure there’s 25,000+ tumblr users that are of US origin that will sign. And we’re pretty sure that you can find 1 more friend to sign.
This isn’t a simple “reblog” and that’s it. Write your own posts and tag it “reconsidercolumbusday”. We’re reblog anything within that tag that is related to what we’re doing in a positive matter.
We need reasons why this is important, but not just from us, but from you as well.
You heard all the reasons in the past. Now, it’s go time. Let’s make this year the last year that we hear “Columbus Day Sale!”
Tell your friends to sign. Get on Twitter, Facebook and do what you can to spread the word.
Together, we can make history. Let’s go!
(The White House Petition asks only for 25,000 signatures. But why settle for such a low number?)
If you missed this post, here it is again. Reblog so others can sign.
