Greetings
On-Line Family and Happy Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving
is the time of the year when we give thanks, rejoice with our
families and friends, count our blessings and give thanks for
them. Thanksgiving is a time for sharing, spreading
happiness, and spending time with all those we love dearly,
appreciating the good and bad times of togetherness.
We
are so full of gratitude because of your continued support, and is
very thankful that you have been so loyal. We are certainly
blessed to have each and every one of you among our on-line
family, and we offer our thanks to you for your continued
interest, readership, support and feedback. We are thankful
that you have allowed us to share our experiences, thoughts, and
most importantly for continuing to listen to what we have to
say.
Unfortunately, during this
holiday season some of our children, sons, daughters, fathers,
mothers, sisters brothers and friends are unable to give thanks
with us, because they are overseas fighting a war for our
so-called "freedom". For this we at Arious honor
and thank them for their sacrifices during this Thanksgiving
season. Our thoughts and prayers go out to each and every
one of these soldiers as they serve time abroad - spending
this special time away from their families.
Again
thanks for reading each week, and have a happy Thanksgiving with
you and yours.
Since
many of your are looking forward to Black Friday, we ask you to
think of those who may need a little extra help this year.
Consider stretching your dollars to include those of whom who are
less fortunate.
  
An absolute success - The March
for Justice in Washington DC this past Friday, November 16,
2007, was outstanding.
Dear...Dear
On-Line family, with great joy I am proud to let you know that
the March for Justice this past Friday was a great
success. I'm hopeful that by now you know that thousands
upon thousands of people converged onto Washington on Friday and
marched for justice.
On one of the first coldest days of the year over 100 buses
arrived in Wash. DC from many cities across the US full of
marchers, actually people used all forms of transportation to
get to Washington on this historic day to express their anger
and outrage. They surrounded the Justice Department and
demanded equality from the nation's justice system, Federal
intervention in many hate crimes in order that those who commit
these hate crimes are prosecute vigorously, as well as
intervention into the Jena Six case, among other unjust
issues/cases.
The organizers Rev. Al Sharpton, Martin Luther King III (son of
Martin Luther Kin, Jr.) and Charles Steele Jr. (President of the
Southern Christian Leadership Conference) were very proud of the
overwhelming turnout, especially since it was only called
approximately 3 weeks ago. Many radio personalities
supported, promoted and joined the organizers such as Michael
Baisden, Warren Ballentine, Steve Harvey, Tom Joyner as well as
Joe Madison. What a fulfilling day this was for the many
who marched with their signs that read "Enough is
Enough", etc., and
chanted "No Justice, no peace"...etc.
What do we want?" the Rev. Al Sharpton shouted
out to a crowd prepared to march around the department's
headquarters. "Justice!" the crowd responded.
When do we want it?" "Now!"
Donna
Payne A Marcher stated "the feeling is of hope and
certainty, unlike Jena. Jena was tense because we
knew we weren't welcomed. Everyone has spread out on
Pennsylvania Avenue. They are owning heir presence!
The street is packed. Everyone is getting louder=What do we
need = Justice! Right now! Remember Jena Six! The walk is
peaceful, not tense. It was intense in Jena. The
police were cold there, here they smile back at us."
For
me this togetherness is awesome - one people, one voice together
fighting for justice. This is absolutely something to be thankful
for during this Thanksgiving holiday; so as you give thanks for
everything in your life, please give thanks for the many that came out, stood
strong, shouted so their voices could be heard about how
disgusted they are with the unfair justice system. Give
thanks for such a wonderful and gratifying day!
Please
watch the below news clip from Reuters regarding the March, and
take a listen to an interview that was done a day before the
March with the Justice Department Civil Rights Division as they respond to the
March. The interviewer is Michelle Martin from NPR news.
