After the thunder and lighting subsided and the rains -seized falling- there was light and the heavens opened up and Angels in the millions and millions hovered above and stood before a white heavenly cloud and -all at once- clapped their hands and the cloud disappeared. And what appeared to be a City of Gold that shined like diamonds sat upon their shoulders; and there were guards of the Most High that carried swords of fire with smoke bellowing from them. Who'd returned to meet the rest, who'd bowed down as we all did for His face was like the fire of a hundred suns. But it didn’t burn me -it was cool to the touch- or so I thought I'd touched His face. And children by the millions kneeled praising Him and all the elders before his throne stood praising Him and all those who'd gone before us -stood by us- and greeted us and welcomed us. It was dark when I awoke -in the early morning hours- the day after the Great Tribulation when the armies of the Most High destroyed the armies of the evil one -in one great battle. And now I could see the sun rising up again, they had pushed back darkness into the great abyss; this is where they went those seekers of knowledge, who sought after the furthest of the heavens. Believing themselves to be like the Most High they called themselves the "Knowers" those who peer into the smallest of places trying to find God -trying to make Him talk- to get Him to stand before them. To get Him to listen to them, to obey their demands, to make Him appear -as frail as all of them- and the fires descended from the heavens and their eyes were shut closed. From the mighty fires that swooped down upon them like the days of Pentecost. They could be seen speaking in tongues and crying before the Great Presence of The Lord of Hosts and all his Guardian Angels. That cried out with a loud voice and who made the mountains tremble and the earth shake and the oceans spill their great waters unto the lands of the Pacific and of the Atlantic and swell in many places. And I stood in awe of all of this...trembling and shaking and speechless praising the Almighty with -all my heart- and all my soul and all my strength.....

A Fathers Day Message
By John R. Hernandez. Jr. © 6/11

http://www.newdawnmedia.wordpress.com
Oh, I am sorry, did I forget to wish all fathers out there -who have a healthy relationship with their children- a grand and memorable Fathers Day Celebration. And to all of you non-custodial -alienated- fathers out there; my heart and prayers are with you till the grave! A child should never be alienated from either parent –because- of the custodial parent's (Antisocial Personality Disorder) a psychosomatic aberration that causes a person to be unwilling to find common ground or respect for the God given and Universal Rights of the non-custodial parent. No doubt there are plenty of men out there who don’t deserve a woman’s willingness to meet half way; since all forms of mediation have been useless –beyond- what the law would deem a reasonable doubt. However, this does not excuse either or both parents from attempting to find the means for which they can help to provide some sort of a two parent presence in both their child’s lives. Having said this, I realize that there are circumstances beyond the control of both parents that demand outside intervention –again- if both parents and the state are really acting within the goodwill-framework of the best interest of the child. They can and should look at the best interest of the child. But that is of course in the smallest of minorities from what I’ve seen. Does this sound like you?
More to say about this in future installments.....However, if you wish to study the issue of "Parental Alienation" I would refer you to one off my favorite sites, AngieMedia.com.
For follow-up on issues concerning family court reform and equal parenting news I would refer you to another of my favorite sites, Parentalrights.org
On a spiritual level I would refer you to the story of Gomer and Hosea.
Promises to Keep
By John R. Hernandez, Jr. 6/11 ©
http://www.newdawncommunications.blogspot.com
http://www.newdawnmedia.wordpress.com
Every year I am reminded of so many things especially around the holidays but never does my gut cringe, my fists swell or my heart ache as when Mothers and Fathers day celebrations roll along. I think of my dad and the promise I made to God that I would never let what had happened to me and to us as a family –happen- to my children. But sometimes, one needs more than just words, because, to some they just won’t do. Often time’s the promises that we make are broken by us. But, when they are broken by others we love and trust it can cut like a knife. Our children are our greatest treasure and they deserve every ounce of all our love. But sometimes life isn’t that simple and forces beyond our control can destroy even the best laid plans. My mom and dad had their falling out -so much so that- dad went his way and mom, well, mom was like one of those old fashion girls, she kept her distance but, hung on for the sake of the family. She tried her best to put up with his drinking and gallivanting. My dad tried to be a good father; he built beautiful hoes for her she would later describe to me as, “jut like a doll house”. But, he was from the -old school- too, but, a much different one than mom. He believed the stern arm of discipline to squelch disobedience even though he himself felt he was like so many fathers in those days -exempt from the laws he handed down- to us. Their break- up eventually grew broader -so much so- that he eventually flew to New York and left it all behind; except for the other woman he had made a new home with. Mom being the stubborn kind packed all of us into that airplane and flew us to New York -never letting him forget- that he had a family and responsibilities to deal with. His stubbornness’ and hers went on and the bickering and arguing eventually seized. So much that after cutting a deal with him he was allowed to come and spend time with us; the younger ones my sister and I. I remember when he would visit and how badly I would want to taste one of those special burgers he would buy for me down at the local bowling alley or some restaurant where he’d stop to get a drink. I could see he was proud and bold in his own quiet and firm way; for those moments he got to spend with his children. I am sure he wondered back in time at the days when him and mom tried to live as equals under one roof. Their break up and the damage that it had on my soul and mind almost broke me into pieces -when I was very young. I felt the struggle within and without as I sat in front of the television set trying to hide the convulsions -I would regularly go through. You have to put yourself back into the mind of a child to remember these things because many of us block things out and forget it all. But, I chose to remember the pain and to never forget it –because- I never wanted it to happen to my children. Some thing’s in life are worth the cost of sacrifice and others we pay dearly for in the process of getting our point thru or accomplishing our goals and the fulfilling the promises we make to ourselves. Despite our imperfections our children deserve the best we can afford to offer them. The taste of that hamburger and the look on dad's face meant the world to me, but I knew of their indifferences and moods and so I held a lot inside. Let me tell you that never a day went by that I didn’t feel left out of something and or out of place or that I just didn’t belong. I am not going to try and brainwash you into believing or transforming your believes into mine. I believe what I believe, because, ever since my childhood I felt different; I felt a calling tugging at me. Those were experiences and messages that have helped to transform my life and my walk in Christ. I look at a person and try not to judge but, if I was on some jury I would look at all the testimony and the factual proof, their words, and the repetitive recidivism of their actions and them make my informed decisions. I would never just get someone to cop a plea to something I could not prove beyond a reasonable doubt. My faith has taught me that. However today, our present day Family Court System has decided to be the judge and jury over men-in particular- with their narrow minded biased opinions and court orders. They have proven to all that they are not fit to sit in trial and to judge those it knows nothing about; simply on the whims of others who have brainwashed them into believing that theirs is the right course to take in matters concerning child support and fatherhood. Today there are many organizations out there fighting to change the status-quo and bring back the fathers into their rightful place. You see when mom and dad had their problems there wasn’t any biased Family court Judge there to alienate him, to subjugate him to a life of indentured servitude and disregard his rights. Yes, there were arguments and yes there were court appearances eventually -after mom felt no recourse- but, there never was a judge in the land that would ever stand between a man and his children. And yes many mistakes were made back then that alienated women and made them feel helpless and abandoned. But, how did all of that ever translate into what we have today? To where many men are treated like clowns by the system, by their families and sadly by their own children. A society where, almost 90% of women get automatic custody, even if they are not able or willing to share that responsibility with the fathers of their children? No, they’d rather take him to court and sue him over child support and sit back and collect -often a big fat checks- that most of them -will have spent- on themselves and give little back to the children. If I am wrong then why are there so many children sad, alone, abandoned, on medication, committing suicide, abusing drugs, prostituting themselves, in gangs, in foster care or with their grandparents, crying themselves to sleep, bruised and abused and going hungry every day right under the noses of the welfare agents and family court judges? Often as in some cases if not many, children are bludgeoned to death or put up for foster care or farmed out to some relative, far away. But to many, its all about that check and that child becomes another dollar in their pockets and not a person anymore. These are the issues seldom talked about today. Because our society wants us to know –but, before we know it they must white wash things a little, and skip a lot of the other stuff it finds unpalatable for our ears and eyes to absorb. I was listening today at another religious program and the topic was -feminism- and the effect it has had on women. Not one word about fathers or men except for when a guest commented how the feminists helped some men's sports programs out of schools. It seems that they were lumping together issues while at the same time trying very hard not to uncover things they had been taught to leave buried, such as the growing and debilitating Parental Alienation. Almost like those laying buried in one of my stories I posted on my http://newdawnmedia.wordpress.com website titled “Arrow Head Trail.” I never ever blamed my mother for her and dad’s troubles. I blamed the two of them. There was enough blame to go around -no one is perfect. Today, another Fathers day celebration will take place somewhere in America or some place in this world and a father’s place will be taken by another man -because the wall of parental alienation- is so powerful that it prohibits entrance to the unwanted real parent. One of the human emotions I learned in life was to know what it feels like to understand true shame. How people out there can feel no shame when they hurt a child or keep a father out of that child’s life is beyond comprehension? In my opinion it should be a crime; one that only God can understand in his infinite heart. Because, as a man, I can understand shamelessness but, it is difficult at times for me to see through all the apathy and hypocrisy of the shameless. Today during these Fathers Day celebrations throughout this land and this world -the stench of hypocrisy- from the homes and altars of this nation will rise high once again as it has at least for me over the past 30 years. No “baby” Daddy has never forgotten you; he's always loved you -more- than you may ever know!
The Greek Crisis is Far From Over
By John R. Hernandez, Jr. 6/11©
http:www.newdawncommunications.blogspot.com
http://www.newdawnmedia.wordpress.com
I just spoke to a dear friend from Greece who said if things get any worst they will have to make some dire decisions about their future. These are people who going back to the ninety’s where struggling under massive governmental restrictions on public sector employees -along with- out of control financial instabilities. I can remember being told how difficult it was for them to get their regular paychecks on time for months on in due to the mess they where in. Today as we can see -in the media- things appear to have gotten worst for many. Although they have been able to avert the worst case scenario -some- if not many- may have been expecting. What I can't figure out for the life of me is how any technologically advanced and industrially advanced nation/country with the best economists and financial think tanks can allow itself to falter into the muck and mire of default and probable collapse? My one recommendation would be to obligate these nations -including ours- to take part in an indefinite Financial Management Series of meetings with a Crown.org Money Life Coach to learn how to handle their financial house! It could very well avert a life threatening situation don't you think?
Unions Getting a Bad Rap From the Right
By John R. Hernandez, Jr. 6/11© http://www.newdawncommunications.blogspot.com
http://www.newdawnmedia.wordpress.com
After decades of disassociation and discontent as well as an air of mistrust towards unionization by many employees -of which- I was part of attempting to organize back in the day. It is clear now that racial divide being pioneered by our friends on the right will plunge-in the reality of the dire need to unioze once again.
Donating Food to Soup Kitchens; a No Brainer
By John R. Hernandez, Jr. 6/11 © http;//www.newdawncommunications.blogspot.com
http://www.newdawnmedia.wordpress.com
There's a petition circulating on Change.org that asks businesses; restaurants/giant food chains/ to donate food they would otherwise throw away on a daily basis. Donating these perishables to soup pantries and soup kitchens would make a dent on everyday starvation for many. There are sanitary shelf life issues as well as legal issues to be ironed out; however, many businesses and food merchants have for years given leftover food to churches and soup kitchens. But, the major large food chains have seemed to be shy of participating in- masse, because of the legal ramifications. I've eaten bread and other food items that have been somewhat passed their expiration dates and I am still here. It's the crucible of fear over what is healthy and what can create a liability.
My Network Comments on Systematic Exclusions of the Long Term Unemployed
By John R. Hernandez, Jr. 6/11 © http://www.newdawncommunications.blogspot.com
http://www.newdawnmedia.wordpress.com
Good jobs must come with the guarantee of long term job security and a certain degree of benefits which brings me to my main point here. Government should be stepping up to the plate to insure that employers do not overlook ready and willing job candidates when looking to fill their capital resource needs; instead of favoring candidates that are or have been on public assistance -in order to get the federal tax credits- from the Workforce Initiatives Program. Congress "God willing" should also step up to the plate and insure that laws are put into place to protect the long term unemployed who are being -systematically overlooked- by employers in favor of recipients of public assistance. What the government -should do in effect- is to include into the Workforce Initiatives Program laws that will include the long term unemployed -so that- employers will have to include them into their hiring schemes.
Job's Tour Needs States Participation
By John R. Hernandez, Jr. 6/11© http;//www.newdawncommunications.blogspot.com
http://www.newdawnmedia.wordpress.com
Another point which I have stressed everywhere is, that unless states are willing to jump on board and help to stimulate job growth by doing everything within their power to get businesses to build factories, manufacturing facilities and industries in urban and especially poor rural areas of their states- their will never be a successful jobs tour in this century that will reap the benefits it is hoping to find. America gave away a gross amount of its technology to Japan mainly as well as other nations during it's hay day of the 70's and it has never fully recovered from that blunder. The price it has had to pay began in the 1980's when Ronald Reagan was on a world wind tour to leave behind the greatest piece of Hollywood historical legacy. And it was exactly that "pure acting" when you are faced with the fact that the decade of the 80's brought America the highest number of homelessness seen since the great depression.
Prioritizing Defense Spending Dumbing Down Global Nuclear Arsenals Would benefit Cash Strapped Economies
By John R. Hernandez, Jr. 6/11 ©
http://www.newdawncommunications.blogspot.com
http://www.newdawnmedia.wordpress.com
The issue with our spendIng priorites is that Americans by this I mean the working classes and poor minorities have been sold a bill of goods by the defense department. Mainly that we need to keep on outspending our adversaries in order to maintain our
capabilities in pace with the latest technologies. The end result will be that we wil have build ourselves into a paupers grave. This is why I believe in Obama's Strategic Arms Control Program where we begin to deactivate and slow down the nuclear arms arsenal of nations. When we can have these aggreements in place and we begin to curtail production and reclaim nuclear fuels and by-products we can begin to reprioritize spending in to other areas of our economy.
The Quid Pro Quo Between the Family Court System, the State and The Federal Government Must be stopped Now!!
If Some Women Where to Work Out Their Differences With the Fathers of their Children Instead Of Filing Child Support Lawsuits -Maybe Then- Some of Their Poblems Would Disappear. In my Opinion; It seems easy for so many women to become dependent on a skewed Title V (model) that is Family Court supported, oppressively enforced through a Child Support "Bureaucracy", financed and suppervised through Federally Mandated Tax Payer Money along with the -hard earned confiscated money- from the tens of millions of fathers. Most of which are alienated no-custodial fathers
By John R. Hernandez, Jr. 6/11 © http://www.newdawncommunications.blogspot.com
http://www.newdawnmedia.wordpress.com
Oh I forgot that women today have the authority and power of the United States Family Court System and the Justice Department to back them up. After all the states need the long arm of the law to help keep those Title V funds coming into their pockets. Why else would the state care wether a woman gets a support check or not?
Because, the states get a big fat paycheck for every man they place an order of child on!!!!
That is how the law is worded- quid pro quo-!
Maybe if more mothers would learn to work out their differences with the father's of these children -that they are alienating and placing major financial burdens on- by filing child support lawsuits; a major portion of this problem would be resolved. But -unfortunately few do- because, the lure of a big fat child support check has created generations of dysfunctional-single-parent-homes and children that have been and are being abused, discarded, drug addicted and ending up along the dark and blind alleys of America's skid rows
The Hidden Power of Collective Barganing and What the Other Side Doesn't Want you to Know
Jumping Through the Hoops of a Corrupt Family Court System; Hey it's afather's Day After All
By John R. Hernandez. Jr. 6/11(c)
http://www.newdawncommunications.blogspot.com
htp://www.newdawnmedia.wordpress.com
The trouble with diminishing the strenght of collective bargaining is that union workers will eventualy lose the power to bargain as a whole; hence the best way to detroy the utility of a union (a collective) is to disinfranchise it's ability to protect the rights of all its members. Many politicians and business owners in"At Will" states have vehemently supported laws that disinfranchsie unions by allowing corporations and other businesses to bombard employees with PROGRAMS OF DISINFORMATION, (SCARE TACTICS); whose ultimate aim is to discredit the utility and value that unions provide. While wages in some of these states have tried to keep pace with the cost of living and many have been seen to be slighltly above; the fact remains that these types of employers are not required to protect your job security concerns and or the fact that your going to be laid off or let go at will. Unions on the other hand are there to protect the job security of the entire work force it serves. Without job protection and or benefits which is the case in many of these "AT WILL" states, WHERE you can be let go at any time because THERE IS NO JOB SECURITY. The only exception to the rule are in cases where you are engaged in a contractual agreement, a victim of discrimnation and or a whistleblower. However, unions don’t just only protect job security but they also protect your peace of mind while are at your job; because employers and supervisors would think twice before causing you any disparaging treatment during working hours.

Further Notes on the Need to Amend Workforce Innitiative to Include the Long Term Unemployed
By John R. Hernandez,Jr. 6/1©
http://www.newdawncommunications.blogspot.com
http://www.newdawnmedia.wordpress.com
This so true!! There are some companies out there that prefer to hire those on public assistance! But what get's my goose is the lenghts that they will go to hire them. I actualy got to see one questionere from one company that repeatedly asked the same question over and over by changing the words around. For example: 1) Have you been a recipient of public assistance within the past twelve months? 2). Have you or anyone in your household ever been on public assistance within the past 18 months? 3) Has anyone in your household dating back to 1997 been on public assistance for a period of 12 months and those 12 months were within the past 3 years? and on and on almost like they are trying to get you to say, "yes". Now I am nor saying that that is what they are trying to get you to do, but it does seem fishy that they would keep askng the same question over and over again and again ad infinitum! What I am trying to say is that it gives the apperaeance that they are particularly interested in recipients of prsesnt or previous assistance and this would seem to make them look suspicious to me!.
In answer to Simone’s comment:
And yes an Expedited Amendment by the Executive Branch or Congress itself would better serve all Americans by providing for the constitutional gurantees of the long term unemployed! By including the long term unemployed within the framework of laws that provide benefits for other Americans this would help to create a level playing field for all. Most companies have plenty of jobs to go around but when they are focused on hiring one group of individuals over others this provides a disservice to job applicants; when asked to come to interview and they answer these questions negativelly they may not hear back from the company other than an email or note that says, "Thank you for your interest in employment with us and though your experience and interest is as competetive as the others the hiring department has decided to pursue another candidate, please look over some of the other jobs we may have available and thank you for your interest in working with....." The fact remains that companies will do everything within their power to circumvent the system to their advantage in order to get the highest and best return for their capital resource investments. Tweaking the sytem to get a higher return of Workforce Innitiative Job Credits is not beyond the realm of human greed when money is at stake!
Lets Make Expanded and Free Transportation for Those in Rural Areas a Law Now
By John R. Hernandez, Jr. 6/11 © http://www.newdawncommunications.blogspot.com
http://www.newdawnmedia.wordpress.com
Here is another link to a petition I am sponsoring to get a law passed to help provide free and expanded transportation for the poor and needy in rural and urban areas. It's been a hot summer out there in many parts of the nation and many local poor residents can be found waiting long hours for public transportation providers who are often late to arrive if their are any in those areas at all. Sending a message to Washington that we are not going to forget the most needy and helpless members of our society during these hot summer months. Having your own car or van is a luxury some Americans can't afford. They can't enjoy the pleasures of an air conditioned auto!! But we can make sure that they are treated with dignity.

Raise the Minimum Wage for Rural Poor Too!
By John R. Hernandez, Jr. 6/11 © http://www.newdawncommunications.blogspot.com
http://www.newdawnmedia.wordpress.com
Poor quality of educational services, lack of fair wages, lack of adequate jobs, lack of adequate transportation services, meager medical services, poor housing quality and high rents without adequate ventilation in the summer and poor heating in the winters along with no job security to boot! $10.00 an hour for poor rural residents should just about cover it, don't you think?
While your at it, let's help bring industry and improve farm subsidies into rural areas to help the working poor and help rpovide poor farmers the tools they need to better compete with the national monopolies and foreign producer. This would go far in helping them earn a livable wage; so, that many of them won't have to close down.

New Dawn Media Communications supports raising the minimum wage to keep pace with inflation and help stimulate this ecomnomy. Imagine waiters and waitresses making $2.83 per hour?

The Inheritance of Poverty
By John R. Hernandez, Jr. 6/11 © http:www.newdawncommunications.blogspot.com
http://www.newdawnmedia.wordpress.com
Most of us go around never really understanding the meaning of why some are poor and others are rich. It's like two different worlds out there and the poor are given just enough to get by and keep their mouths shut. You see, despite where I may be in life I could never forget where I came from. Unlike, some out there who think that wrapping their lives around fortune and fame is gonna keep them from getting mud on their feet. There are more trillions spent on keeping the poor; helpless, defenseless, and hopeless; than there is spent on all the social programs ever established. If you want to increase poverty just take away the programs that help to keep a roof over their heads and food in their bellies. The reason Christ turned the tables on the money changers in the synagogues was not because of where they were but because of the high interest they were charging the poor from all their financial scams.

My Message to the Milions of Americans on the UNEMPLOYMENT Lines
By John R. Hernandez, Jr. 6/11 (c)
http:www.newdawncommunications.blogspot.com
http://www.newdawmmedia.wordpress.com
I know so many people out there are hurting and they have about given up or have given up. Some of us are still hanging on and we have to be strong for all the rest out there who need us to be strong. We are their voices, we are their strength, we are -to many of them- their last hope. Because they have been led to feel that there is no way out of this darkness and pain. That things will never be the same, the way it was and the way it is now for them. We have to be strong, if you've never prayed or gotten on your knees it's time! 15 Million Americans are out there somewhere tonight looking for hope. This petition may not open all the doors or answer all the questions, but it is one powerful step all of you are taking for your fellow brother and sister or aunt or uncle or father or mother. You must know by now my posts can be long at times and then they can be short. But, you just can't say enough about how much we all love our nation, our families, and our neighbors-yes- even when we wish they were on an extended vacation to Neptune. When we look at the headlines and see the issues in Greece, Japan, and so many other places that have suffered great financial or natural disasters you must admit that we have been slightly blessed. But we still have a long way to go, we still have to do our duty, because if we fail, who will be left to lift us up, to help carry us the rest of the way? We are the first line of defense when it comes to communicating our desires to those above us who are waiting for our marching orders. This petition and all the rest that deal with social change, with social activism, with helping the unemployed and the poor. That deal with our ressucitating our economic infrastructure, protecting our children, renewing our school systems, reforming our family court systems(which for far too long have been in need of a valuable amount of reform). With reshaping the battlefield of ideas and letting this nation know and those on Capital Hill, that we demand to see real change! We demand that corporations include all the unemployed in their hiring agendas or they will answer to us for the tricky underhanded actions they take against the most vulnerable. That we will map out a strategy to get each and every member of Congress and Senate and every board member of every corporation that was bailed out within the last several years, and demand their participation on Capital Hill; to show to the world and to this nation how it is that all of them are gonna figure out a way to bring the jobs back -that they have allowed to slip away. That they will roll their sleeves up and figure out ways to help put most if not all of the 15 million unemployed back to work; with a fair and decent living wage, with fair and adequate benefits, and with the promise of long term job security. This is not something we are asking for; it is something we are demanding –because- the money that they took when they were being bailed out regardless of wether they paid it all or most back; was given to them out of tax payer funds that this government gets from all this nations citizens. And now it is time for those on Capital Hill and those in Corporate America to get with the program and answer the calling of the American people. And as far as the "Far Right" is concerned we got a message for them, too. Stop the back biting, bickering and finger pointing, because there are trillions of reasons why the American people are sick and tired of their empty promises. It's time those on the right got a wake up call and smelled the coffee burning. We are not gonna fall for your "Contract with America" empty gestures; or your how this time you got a better contract for this nation. We are tired of your contracts! It's time all you on the "Right" stood up admitted your wrong and joined the rest of the American people in turning this calamity around that no doubt -you too- have helped to get us all into. And it starts with getting together with your counterparts on the "Left" and Corporate America and sitting down and acting as mature men and women and do the right thing for which this nation has elected and is paying you to do. You all think that because you are public servants you are sacrificing something for the American people; well I hate to burst your bubble but last time I looked all of you are getting a paycheck! Your paychecks are signed by the US Treasury, but, the funds you get come from the American people and don't you ever forget that. Oh and by the way this is still One Nation Under God! In case you’re wondering where we get our authority.

"If I Could Believe?"

If I could believe in that look in your eyes ,once again, like I've done so many times before. Like when you walked in and out that door; like when you said, "I am Sorry I Hurt You baby". Like when you swore you'd never do it again just as I gave back in. Like when you touched me and held me close or when you'd call in the middle of the night crying your heart out. Pretending you meant every word you'd swore to me. If only I could believe?
Below is a short letter/email you can send to everyone you know about what we are doing to bring social change! You have my permission to use it to help get the message out.
Friends,
We've just created a petition entitled Include Long Term Unemployed into the Federally Mandated Guidelines of Workforce Initiatives, because I care deeply about this very important issue. I'm trying to collect 20,000,000 (Million) signatures and I could really use your help. It sounds impossible, but after all, there are probably that many folks unemployed that if they knew of this petition they may all sign it.

Once you're done, please ask your friends to sign the petition as well. Grassroots movements succeed because people like you are willing to spread the word!
