Cincinnati Change

Martin Luther King invoked the American Dream in what is perhaps his most famous speech: "Let us not wallow in the valley of despair, I say to you today, my friends. And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American Dream."

The American Dream is the belief that in the United States of America, hard work and determination can lead to a better life, usually through the earning of money. These were values held by many early European settlers, and have been passed on to the newer generations - including African Americans. The United States remains a magnet for immigrants today, receiving 1 million legal entrants annually — the largest influx in the world.

We ask this question, "If the U.S. becomes something along the lines of Mexico, do we all stand to lose something?"

As the Anglo-Euro population diminishes, why would people, who would under some peoples plans become voting American citisens, from alien cultures subscribe to the prescriptions of a Thomas Jefferson, or care about the legacy of Magna Carta? The Magna Carta is often a symbol for the first time the citizens of England were granted rights against an absolute king.

We will speak over the coming days of all those jobs that "Americans won't do". We take the position that these jobs were being done as recently as 15 years prior by Americans who worked as roofers, framers, drywallers, body, fender repairmen, truck drivers and janitors. Prior to the mass deluge, native-born minority citizens dominated these occupations and were able to sustain their families on their salaries.

This WAR is for REAL !

Who we at War with in totality is not yet clear, but to get out of a difficulty, one usually must go through it. The war in Iraq is a very large battle front. Even the War on Terror now is just a battlefront.

Cincinnati Change believes that the United States of America, our country, is now facing the most serious threat to its existence, as we know it.

This War will be as bloody as the Civil War and as great a challenge as the Second World War.

We are in World War IV whether we like it or not, or whether we know it or like it. We cannot appease our out of this, the other side wants to win.

The deadly seriousness is greatly compounded by the fact that there are very few of us who think we can possibly lose this war and even fewer who realize what losing really means.

First, let’s examine a few basics:

1. When did the threat to us start?

Many will say September 11, 2001. The answer as far as the United States is concerned is 1979, 22 years prior to September 2001, with the following attacks on us:

* Iran Embassy Hostages, 1979;
* Beirut, Lebanon Embassy 1983;
* Beirut, Lebanon Marine Barracks 1983;
* Leon Klinghoffer October , 1985
* Lockerbie, Scotland Pan-Am flight to New York 1988;
* First New York World Trade Center attack 1993;
* Dhahran, Saudi Arabia Khobar Towers Military complex 1996;
* Nairobi, Kenya US Embassy 1998;
* Dares Salaam, Tanzania US Embassy 1998;
* Aden, Yemen USS Cole 2000;
* New York World Trade Center 2001;
* Pentagon 2001.

WE WILL NEVER FORGET
(Note that during the period from 1981 to 2001 there were 7,581 terrorist attacks worldwide).
