CALL FOR WRITERS

Contributors wanted for upcoming anthology Forever Changed: Tales from the Campaign Trail, edited by Lynette Long and Joan Lipkin.

The 2008 presidential race and resulting election of Barack Obama galvanized a nation and changed the lives of those who were involved. It is essential that our stories be told, especially since many of them were overlooked or misrepresented in the mainstream media.

Please consider submitting a piece about your experiences or perceptions. The book will most likely be organized in a time sequenced fashion -starting with Hillary’s announcement of her candidacy to the coronation of Barack Obama. To avoid replication and to help create a viable framework for the book, we propose picking one or more of the suggested topics. These suggestions are not meant to be literal titles or topics but rather used as a guide to help stimulate your creativity and thinking. Several pieces may be published under each topic. Some topics may be eliminated and additional topics may be added based on the response. The idea of the book is to present an overview of Hillary’s candidacy through the hearts and minds of the people impacted by her campaign.

In addition to original essays, we will look for the best of the blogosphere to add to the collection. If you have written something on a blog or seen something on a blog, that you think is exceptional, please forward us a link.

For essays, word count should be between 1000 and 4000 words. Shorter pieces, anecdotes and poems to bridge various sections will also be considered.

All contributors are required to include one paragraph which explains your involvement in this year’s historic campaign. Maybe you were a blogger, a fundraiser, an armchair observer, or someone who volunteered at the polls. It will help readers put your piece in perspective and understand you better. In addition, please submit a separate 100 word bio suitable for publication.

All submitted essays will be considered for publication but publication is not guaranteed. Remuneration will be one copy of the book. After publication, copyrights will revert back to contributors.

We’d like to get the book out as quickly as possible to capitalize on the energy related to this historic election. We are contacting publishers as we speak. Therefore, deadline for submissions are Dec 20, 2008. You may submit more than one essay although we are likely to only select one by each person to get the broadest view points.

Please send manuscripts to both Drlynettelong@gmail.com and JoanForeverChanged@aol.com. Include your name, email address, mailing address and phone number. In order to increase the credibility of the product, all articles must be written in the authors own name. No blog names will be accepted. All documents should be sent as word attachments with numbered papers, in Ariel font and 12 point type.

Thank you for considering participating in this important project. The election may be over but its documentation is crucial as we go forward into a more progressive future. We look forward to hearing from each and every one of you. Open your hearts, tell us how you feel, how you have changed.

Sincerely,

Lynette Long

Joan Lipkin

$1 MM Reward 4 Obama Long-Form Birth Certificate / Video

$1 MM Reward 4 Obama Long-Form Birth Certificate / Video

One Million Dollar Reward Offered For Certified Obama Long-Form Birth Certificate

Secret of the Rosary Films is offering a one million dollar reward for the certified long-form birth certificate of Barack Obama.

The long-form birth certificate must be certified by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Long form birth certificates are exact photocopies of the original birth record that was prepared by the hospital or attending physician at the time of the child’s birth.

The long form usually includes parents’ information such as address of residence, race, birth place, date of birth — and additional information on the child’s birthplace, and information on the doctors that assisted in the birth of the child. The long form also usually includes the signature of the doctor involved and at least one of the parents.

When Hawaii became a state in 1959, there were many people who resided there who did not have a birth certificate. From 1911 to 1972, in Hawaii a person — over the age of one — whose birth was not registered — could apply for a short form birth certificate in Hawaii.

Obamas Kenyan grandmother stated he was born in Kenya. However, Obamas mother or grandmother probably filed an affidavit stating that Obama was born in Hawaii and the state of Hawaii issued the kind of short form certificate posted on the Obamas Web site.

This is the reason why Obama has not released a long form Hawaiian birth certificate to the courts it does not exist.

May I suggest that someone contact a real publisher and look into doing a book on the PUMA movement? Doing something like that would take time and could not be rushed into publication immediately but would help the book get some broader exposure and perhaps get people talking about the sexism in the election.

well I’m not up to it yet

still too angry

I think we have to look at the actual stats to determine if there really was ever a movement.

Those are starting to emerge.

Looks like Obama took the woman vote.

I think that’s probably because of Roe VS. Wade. What’s interesting is that I didn’t even realize that there’s a chance that Obama will not even get to appoint a justice, since the court is pretty young.

The younger justices are right-wing, but the liberal justices are old. Justice Stevens, a moderate, was born in 1920! Ginsberg is 75. Even Kennedy and Scalia are older – 72.

Stevens wants to retire from what I read, and probably Ginsgerg, too, so he will have at least one or two chances.

This should cheer you up a bit.

And let’s not forget the one shining star of the MSM – Greta!

Executive Privilage. Too late, Obama will block any and everything from this point on.
Ferd Berfle

That and the fact that the Supreme Court is not a certifying agency.
Ferd Berfle

Yeah but Roe v Wade is settled law and shall remain so until there can be a legal way around the privacy issue. So if anyone voted for that reason, they are low-information voters, irrespective of their sex.
Ferd Berfle

Greta was a champ the entire cycle. I will continue to watch her show.
