Jason Herman. Jonathan Rosenberg and Heather.
Ellen: I was in tears...!
Mira I was moved to see Jesse Jackson in tears.
His eyes were streaming... I thought one of those people should give Jesse Jackson a hug! Also greetings from Janet Kalven. Atia Huff our colleague on the Peace Vigil, sends word thart what we need now is to change the established Dem. Party in Cinti and reclaim our power as democrats. The way is to elect precinct executives, who can vote on the party leadership. The current director is in cahoots with the Republicans.
Karen: this victory means new hope.... I cried last night. This is a new atmosphere... The air is lighter today.
Brooke: pretty exciting. NPR had some teenagers... One of them had said, <Rosa sat so martin would walk; martin walked so Obama could run; Obama ran so our children can fly~” > Choked me up.
I was disappointed that McConnel in KY was re elected, and Schmidt. Was glad that Chabot lost.
Alan: I was canvasing a little, knocked on doors in Delhi. An angry mom came up to me ... She ordered me off her street. ... I think they will get over their anger...
Mr. G.: This Saturday Roxanne Qualls will speak on implications of this election at Molly Malones’ at Ridge and Montgomery from 10 to 12. On Mtgomery next to Pleasant Perk coffee shop.
The election means to me: I am one for whom race was a factor. After the last 8 yrs it would be hard for me to vote for a White person. Had my first decent night’s sleep last night in 8 years... As Karen said, “the air felt lighter”. ... If I were Bush I’d be tickled pink to walk away from all this mess... I still lack faith in the American people ... It is crazy to not make 60 Democratic senators...
Gerry:
I am so proud that so many people turned from red to blue ... Such a large number who voted for Obama... Proud to be an american... Have to go beyond race. Obama never brought up race as an issue. He is extremely bright, creative and practical.
Bob: announcement... The passing of Dallas Fish; memorial at Northern Hills Fellowship (UU) Sunday 16th at 2, pot luck, bring a story and a dish.
Bill: I think I know what Michelle meant “I’m proud to be an American”... Haven’t felt that for decades! It means a new beginning for the whole country. Someone new to look up to. Only 3 years older than me. Someone of my generation... He is 47. I am very happy.
Brooke: we were watching ... And mysteriously nothing being said of Ohio, on and on. The first announcement was that he had won Ohio! I felt for the first time, I’m proud to be from Ohio. Even Hamilton Co went for him.
Marvin: Mira asked how to take over the party. I once wanted to take over the Republican Party to run as precinct executive, and there was only one other Republican in the precinct, Dennis! (Republican today?) No.
Dennis: I am quite satisfied with the results. I don’t make a secret of it ... I ‘m not convinced that Obama is the person I want as pres but I am certain that Sarah Palin is not ... I don’t have regrets for not having voted for the presidential candidate. I am not quite a believer... But I can say he is getting better the more I see him.
Jan: I did vote for Obama. Really really proud of the US that we can actually elect a black pres... In the ‘60’s I marched in the civil rights movement... I registerd voters in the South, and I feel it worked. ... May be able to pull together everybody.
Dennis while Jan, my wife, was helping the pickters and marchers I was arresting those ... In Dayton.
Marvin: this election... Today a parent of a Black child can honest say “You can be president...” And also can say to a daughter, “You alsom might be president...”
Ellen When are we going to have a Jew in the White house?
Marvin: ... Obama is funny, said, “98% of the plumbers in AmericN support Obama”
It was reported that G. W. Bush said This is a great day for the United States. Isn’t that something!
Brooke Condoleza Rice also...
Mira: McCain’s concession was gracious...
Elaine: I am grateful for the emotional expression of all those involved. ... His speech... Turned to his children, told them, Yes, getting the puppy but the look was serious, as to say, “I will no longer be just your daddy, but as president... Your life will change. “ giving up family life, to be of service. That is movement. The controversial presidents don’t tend to live to old age...
Gerry bullet proof glass...
Spencer Kennedy managed to be father and president at the same time.
Alan S: most historic election I’ve ever seen. Proud. I voted for Nader.
Bob a thing about Nader, the Dems and Repub do run Washington. Ralph would be a good challenge to that. Think we’ll find that O. has lots of good friends in lobbiest ... I think he was the most presidential in his presentation, and consistency. McCain was changing week to week.
Spencer John McCain, maverick, .. Didn’t seem to have the ability to persuade anybody in any direction . 48% dwho voted for him, many would have voted for a yellow dog if it was the Rep nominee.
To me it was easy choice. Who can build a coalition? I am more afraid of street violence than abroad. Because we’ve taken the wrong approach on many issues... Our jails are filled because of crimes that dammage themselves rather than others, like drugs and prostitution.
This morning when I got up to walk, walking S on Paddock Rd, saw two girls in beige overalls, the new In thing.
Gerry: the way things happen in D.C. Will change too. Obama has this huge network. Phone messages. Email. He will be able to call upon this network of supporters, so doesn’t depend on lobbiests
Judy: I worked long and hard on the campaign. One thing so wonderful was it brought races together. There was a bond with balck... Never seen African Amer people so excited.
Dennis I am appaled at the lack of people canvasing for political issues. I’ve lived down the street on Clifton Ave 17 years, and only one person has ever come to my door canvasing. I welcome that. I am appalled.
(At t his point we struck up the band and danced for joy. Mike, Jelly Roll, Karen, John and Tim were marvelous! “The Dial Tones”!

Suellyn walks from Lloyd House to Obama Rally Sunday
Hi Ellen,
Thanks for calling me back today and connecting me with Farooz and Susan. It was a party of six who walked down and had pizza at Dewey's and then on to the rally. It took an hour and a half for us to get from where we got on line on Clifton just south of MLK to wend around onto campus and to the stadium. But we got to see and hear the next president of the United States along with 20,000 other enthusiasts. And as we walked down the road to MLK on the way out Obama waved directly to us... about 10 feet away.
Glad I went... very tired.

Suhith reflects on election
I remember listening to Mr. Obama’s Iowa caucus victory speech in amazement and in awe. Awe at his oratory. Amazed because a state that is 91% white with a per capita income of less than $ 20,000 a year had voted for a little known African American political neophyte.
I pictured myself driving thru rural Iowa. I pull into a gas station. I see a middle-aged white farmer in his overalls getting out of a red pickup truck (no gun rack). I am somewhat suspicious of how he will treat me. Then I realize that it is this man who voted for Barack Obama.
The Iowa caucus results were also a celebration of the liberation of this white man--liberating the oppressed also liberates the oppressor. This was something to celebrate.
By the end of the Democratic Primary season I had learned more about Mr. Obama. Mr. Obama supports the government methodically and deliberately killing citizens--the death penalty. Mr. Obama would give immunity to telecommunication companies that spy on ordinary citizens--his yes vote for the "FISA bill". He would strengthen the for-profit health insurance companies by requiring all citizens to buy health insurance. He would prefer to stop killing Iraqis and start killing Afghans and, for good measure if he feels like it, he will kill some Pakistanis. Yet, I celebrated his Democratic Primary victory and will celebrate his victory of the Presidency. His victory is not only a celebration of a black man’s achievement in America; it is also a celebration of that white farmer’s liberation.
On January 21st 2009: IMF will still be dominated by the USA. The primary motivation of our health care system still will be profit. Yong mothers around this country will still continue to struggle to find quality day care. When we add up the prisoners in the red states and the blue states we still will have more prisoners per capita than any other nation. American bombs will be killing Afghans. President Obama will be representing these policies that crush people.
I celebrate Mr. Obama’s historic achievements with mixed feelings. If you ask me why I have mixed feelings I will simply quote Eugene V. Debs "When I rise (from the ranks) it will be with the ranks, and not from the ranks."
After the celebrations we will have to continue to work to liberate the oppressed. And hopefully, one day I will be able to celebrate the liberation of the American President.

FANCHON CORRECTS TABLE NOTES
dear ellen, in red are the errors in your transcription.
some of us who allow you to use our name in these meetings need to feel secure that the intent is accurate. so here is my corrected statement, with the original underneath. corrections are in purple.
Fanchon: I have been in fight and terror mode since 14 when my bro in law ran for council. I rode in the sound car, and passed out posters. ... Then I was pres. of the h.s. UNESCO support organization . I addressed the city of L.A. Board of education about UNESCO. Then the anti communist thing became stronger, a cancerous growth on our society. My sister and her husband were active leftists. Our friends were the black listed writers, the Hollywood Ten. So I was afraid we’d get a knock on the door. ..In L.A. City college.. I promoted and chaired a dialogue with the Students of L.A. City College about segregation as the open member of a Marxist study group, and none from the group defended me when i was attacked by the paper. I was smeared in the school paper with absolute lies,
Fear. I was thrown ito it too soon, I was too soon. No support other than my immediate family. So my heart goes to Obama beause he is getting the main stream, his good heart. And the fact that I can go out and see intermarriage, gay people out, ... This is so incredible. And it is amazing that Barack Obama is going to be our president! Let us honor how much fear the older people have gone through to get to this place.
Ginger: what about how fear is being used.?
Fanchon: I felt Powell was clear when he said McCain should have gone farther in his statement..Powell said ". Shouldn’t the muslim american also be honored, shouldn’t their child be able to hope to be president?"

I promoted a debate about segregation when no one did.
Then later at L.A. Community College, had a Marx study group.

Books,Movies, Reviews
It’s up to you folks to send me blurbs. I know you are reading. What? Is it good? Ellen
Hey, Ellen!
Thanks for including my e-mail in your weekly update. Already got a response from one of your gang. Sweet! And speaking of potlucks...one of the nicest discoveries I've made recently is a nearby Quaker meeting, which has, among other things, a monthly bookgroup/potluck. I'm attending tonight and the book in play, Jesus: A Revolutionary Biography, reminds me a lot of Joseph Campbell's writings and a great ABC news documentarry from about 10 years back (by the late, great Peter Jennings) about what we do/do not know historically about Jesus and the times he lived in. I am not a Quaker per se, but I am drawn to their philosophy, which I discovered a few years bac via A Quaker Book of Wisdom by Robert Lawrence, one of the most profound books I've ever read. I also like their silent meditation form of worship and the fact that their services/gatherings are called "meetings." As you may know their doctrine closely parallels the recovery program/12 Steps ideals and I've been told that this is because AA grew out of the Oxford group which originated with the Quakers. Not sure if this is absolute fact, but the connections seem valid.
Hope you are well. Please pass on my Touchstone e-mails as you please and let me know if anyone wants added to the distro list. And, absolutely see the films W, Choke, and, especially, Rachel Getting Married. I would love to be at Lloyd House to discuss those, in particular W, which (despite the tepid reviews) is Oliver Stone's best film to date. All three have as a core theme addiction & families, and Rachel should be required viewing for anyone whose life has been touched by addiction, family (or weddings!) in any way. Especially addiction counselors, therapists, addicts of all sort and their families. Great return to form for Jonathan Demme (Silence of the Lambs, Philadelphia, etc.) and a break-out performance by Anne Hathaway who is now on a fast track to an Oscar I suspect.
Peace & love, my friend,
Alan Scheidt <alanlivesarts@yahoo.com>
