Let the light pierce through the darkness Close all old accounts, turn a new leaf Re-learn that old lesson of friendship Kill nor be killed, settle for lessening Amidst us of this fossilized hatred

2012 Ancient Mayan Prophecy
Perhaps that time has not come yet when our, Gods would listen to the beats in our hearts, peace and happiness spread their glow, perhaps we would have to force Mother Time?.
A Hearbeat Away From a Landslide
At 4:58pm on October 3rd, 2008, a day after the VP debate, I heard it on CNN, and I could hardly believe my ears, but yes, a PUNDIT said: “yes, it is OVER!” The only way that McCain would have a chance in changing the momentum toward Barack Obama becoming the 44th President of the United States, would be if he could present a specific and believable, detailed plan to Americans on how he could actually fix America’s economy! Like that would ever happen. After last week’s nose dive of the stock market, and watching congress bail out what many believe, are criminals of large financial institutions, Americans are completely fed up and disgusted with their government. It doesn’t matter that both candidates voted for the “bail out” of the institutions, it doesn’t matter to Americans any more whether or not a woman or an African American becomes President, what is important to Americans, is their MONEY, or better said, the LACK thereof. Americans did not want the bail out in the first place, and now that the bail out is law, billions of dollars are being handed over to those who over the past decade have been extremely profitable and are now wanting money from every single American because they couldn’t even develop a budget and stick to it. Bush said, “The bill I signed is a big step forward;” he is either on drugs, or has lost his mind! He is so out of touch with every man, woman, and child that will be bearing the incomprehensible cost of what was an appalling idea in the first place; criminal, just plain criminal. Does anyone really know how many people are on the fringes of criminality that are apart of this disastrous fiasco? Is anyone even bothering to ask? This breakdown of America’s and the World’s financial stability, has unregistered democrats, registered independents & republicans alike, running as fast as they can, to vote early if possible, or joining democratic volunteering efforts, just so our new President will not be of the same party as the sitting President. Bush has presided over, an been responsible for these United States, for the last eight catastrophic years; just a reminder, President Clinton handed over to President Bush, a balanced budget, and a government without being trillions of dollars in debt. It is just so unimaginable for any American to grasp. On the eve of October 6, 2008, there was a first ever detection by satellite, an asteroid plummeting toward earth, which will hit somewhere around Africa. Not that there is any correlation to the events of the day where the Dow dropped under 10,000 and saw for a momentary period of time, an eight hundred point loss. No, there is not a human on this planet that can predict when an asteroid is going to hit. But there were many humans who predicted what would happen today, last week, and the week before that. Actually these predictions were voiced years earlier, and one of those humans making those predictions was Barack Obama. In the end, not that there is an end in site, those droves of voters running to vote away from the last eight years, are the same voters who are giving democrats, and our democratic presidential candidate’s current 339 electoral votes (http://www. fivethirtyeight. com), an immense boost on the way to the 375 electoral votes needed for A Heartbeat Away from a Landslide.
This year’s presidential campaign has prompted her to become actively involved in the political process for the very first time in her life. Some of the support she has participated in is through volunteering, voter registration, publishing article and columns, and donating money to a campaign for the first time in her life.
Five days after the tragic 9/11 attack on America’s soil, she organized a “Petition for Peace 2001″ event. Included in the event, were approximately 17 different religions, cultures, race, etc. ; even two Muslim men who attended were very grateful to be a part of the event.
In 2002 she volunteered over 100 hours at the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, Utah. On the heels of 9/1. This Olympic event was a welcome time in America and the author’s involvement in the Olympics was one of the most memorable times in her life; the only exception would be the event she organized just four months before.
Since the tragic day of 9/11 she has waited for an exceptional candidate that would lead our Country to peace and regain the positive leadership that other countries use to respect. She feels Obama is that exceptional person to lead this Country into the positive change that Americans have needed for a long time.
2012 is predicted by some with New Age beliefs to be a great year of spiritual transformation (or alternatively an apocalypse). This is in keeping with an uncodified, eclectic belief system referred to as Mayanism whose roots can be found in 16th century Christian eschatology affecting Maya texts such as the Popol Vuh and the Books of Chilam Balam that were written down after the Spanish Conquest.
