The Locked Door with No Key: Why Ohio’s SB 153 Threatens Our Voting Rights

The Locked Door with No Key: Why Ohio’s SB 153 Threatens Our Voting Rights Imagine being told you must enter a building to access your rights—to speak, to be counted, to shape the laws that govern your life. The door is locked, and you're told you need a key. But no one will tell you what kind of key you need. Some folks bring house keys. Others arrive with driver’s licenses, birth certificates, even passports. They jiggle them in the lock—nothing works. They aren’t denied because they’re unqualified. They’re denied because the rules changed without explanation. This is the danger behind Ohio’s Senate Bill 153 (SB 153)—a bill that hasn’t passed yet , but is already knocking on our community’s door. What Is SB 153? SB 153 is a proposed law—not yet passed —currently being considered by Ohio’s state legislature. It would require all voters to prove their citizenship before casting a ballot. That may sound fair on the surface—but the bill doesn’t define what “proof of citizenship” ac...

Role models-Ha2ku by ha2tim

Role models have gone/
Now it is my time to shine/
I will surpass them/

We are going to look at step two of the success process that came from the quote that was used last week from Napoleon, "He who fears being conquered is sure of defeat". After discussing this with my young men the next step came out of our discussion. That step was:
2. having a role model

When we find a role model, we give our self something to focus on. Not the person or thing, but going beyond them. You give yourself a target that is directly connected to your success. By setting yourself up a role model you have something to aim at and reach for. Many people set goals but have no models to follow and improve on, so they just are constantly reinventing the wheel, and making useless mistakes. This can be a good thing, but why go through the frustrations when others have blazed the trail. You can take the time and refine what your role models have completed and shorten your time of struggle.

This requires for us to humble ourselves and admit that we do not know as much as we think we know, and submit ourselves to others, and ask questions, and also ask for help. We have to study our role model's life, and take time to learn to model their success. Then we have to get past our fear, to use our refinements to surpass their work. We don't have to limit ourselves to what they have achieved, as a matter of fact the biggest compliment we can give them is to surpass what they did. I need to mention that if we want to do extraordinary things, then we have to pick extraordinary models to follow.

example of this can be taken from Napoleon's life. He wanted to be the next Alexander. he wanted to outshine Alexander, and made it his goal to spread his legend. i know this is a violent model, but it works no matter what skill we are trying to bring into our lives. Marcus Garvey looked up to Booker T Washington, Martin Luther King looked up to Ghandi and Jesus. When we explore history we find that people who have achieved great things have utilized this secret. So now you know find your role models, study them use what you learn,Modify, and out do them. We will complete step three soon.

Peace

How to pour Libations

Image
We pour libations/ to connect with all that is/ and to cleanse our hearts/ I need to start this article by stating this information is based on my personal experience. I have been pouring libations for at least 20 years all over the country and personally. Libations for me is a process of remembering, and connecting or re-connecting to not only the Spirit but everything around us . When we pour libations we are opening ourselves as well as the group to the axe ' of the entire Universe . I first must admit that I do not belong to a group, sect or religious order. I am a lay man who have made a personal connection with the world, and the spirit. By pouring Libations we strengthen these relationship. So let me define a few things first so that we can be on the same page. Libations - the process of pouring or giving a sacrifice to form a connection with this world and the spiritual realm. Spirituality - the state of establishing and maintaining relationships Axe...
