San Diego County Representatives:
There are no current Action Alerts posted for the month of December.
Quoting from an editorial, " The 2008 Election," by Rabbi Michael Lerner in the issue of TIKKUN magazine, NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2008, Michael Lerner writes,
"He (Obama) is almost certain to use his bully pulpit, starting with his Inaugural Address, to point toward a vision of America that will regenerate hope and move social energy toward the Left Hand of God, toward the part of each of us that really wants a world of love, kindness, generosity, peace, ecological sanity, and social justice.
That opening of hope is the most we can expect from a politician working within the confines of the current reality. The rest is up to us - to push the discourse further, to identify (as NSP already has) ways to actually build the kind of world that Obama describes. We need to organize people to turn that vision into reality.
No wonder, then, that we feel that this is a time for great rejoicing, and also a time for serious reflection and planning."
December seems to be an appropriate time for reflection and hopefully we can get together in January for planning our future efforts as spiritual progressives in San Diego to help make the world a better place for all.
