If you value your freedom you shouldn't support Barack Obama.

2008-08-19T14:13:04-04:00

Obama's slogan of Hope and Change is so open ended and can be applied to almost anything that he lacks any substance to demonstrate what differences he can really make in office. His socialized national health care plan would actually make Americans pay more for services from extremely high taxes with less accessibility to services. He is pro-intervention and war, wants more power given to our central government, and supports the violation of individual rights, and bails out big banks and businesses at the tax payers expense. If you really value your freedom guaranteed to you in the Constitution, you wouldn't let any candidate let it become void. We need your help in supporting the values of Liberty and individual rights that made the U.S. the propserous nation it has become.

The Libertarian Party is seeking freedom minded volunteers in your area to work for change in your community and across the nation. Activities will include: scheduling, running, and attending fundraisers and meetup events, setting up and participating in Get Out the Vote operations, sign waves, calling talk radio programs, writing op-eds in local papers, coordinating with the local Libertarian Party, etc. If you are as concerned as we are about our country and our future, and want to do something about it, please reply to this ad. Your efforts will be appreciated.

"Liberals love to say things like, "We're just asking everyone to pay their fair share." But government is not about asking. It is about telling. The difference is fundamental. It is the difference between making love and being raped, between working for a living and being a slave. The Internal Revenue service is not asking anybody to do anything. It confiscates your assets and puts you behind bars if you don't pay." � Thomas Sowell, Forbes, July 1994

Looking for people to start a local volunteer progressive think tank. (Richmond)

2008-08-13T16:06:15-04:00

I have nothing worked out yet so this is literally in idea form only. I would like to start a volunteer think tank here in Richmond. At the start there will be no funding, just a group of thoughtful and intelligent individuals who are willing to volunteer their time and talents. The idea is to start a local group with a global vision. Understanding that local decisions can have global consequences, we will address issues ranging from local politics to international human rights abuses.

Here are some examples of issues that I would like the group to address:

*Environmentalism & Energy Policy
*Genocide, War Crimes, & Human Rights Abuses
*Fair Trade & Wages/Sweatshop Labor
*Human Trafficking
*Poverty & Homelessness
*Foreign Aid & Third World Development
*Domestic & Sexual Violence

Since this is only in idea form I am eagerly looking for people who are interested in helping me develop this group from the ground up. I need your help and I need your ideas. As I am still in pursuit of my first degree I do not expect you to have a degree of your own. I do expect you to be well informed.

Please contact me by phone if you are interested. I do not have internet access at home so if you email me I may not get back to you immediately.

Explore an archeological site of the Purepecha culture
October 1 - October 20, 2008

Volunteer project: The local host is an institution that works in different communities of the State of Michoacan. The education is an important tool to improve the life of the people in any country, and this school is aimed at bringing formal education to isolated communities where there are many social problems, lack of work, and where youngsters immigrate to the USA, looking for more opportunities. The school gives to the youngsters tools and experience to develop and improve their life in the town. In this frame, a group of international volunteers is invited to participate in different activities, not only ecological, but also cultural and social, together with the school students and the people who live in the villages. Moreover, they are invited to participate in awareness activities to promote the importance of taking care of the environment.

The international volunteers, along with the students of the institute, will explore the archeological site of the �Purepecha� culture in the �Tangancicuaro� valley, in order to promote the zone and its preservation not only locally, but also regionally and nationally.

Language: The official language of the workcamp is English. Some Spanish would be appreciated.

Age range: 18 and over

Caring Families Needed for the 2008/2009 School Year

2008-08-03T20:59:13-04:00

Pacific Intercultural Exchange is looking for caring families to host high school students from various countries for the 2008-2009 academic school years. There are few opportunities in this world where an individual can take an active hand in making the world a better place. This is such an opportunity. It is the time of year when the holidays are approaching and Americans everywhere are considering opening their hearts to their friends and neighbors. Pacific Intercultural Exchange (P.I.E.) asks local families to consider showing one of these foreign teens what American generosity is all about. Students from many countries have been staying with families all over the United States since August, and now a new group of international neighbors would like to add a little more to the community and leave in June with American passion, pride and sense of values.

There is no such thing as a typical host family. Whether you are a single parent, retired, have small children, teens, or no children at all, anyone can have a great experience hosting an exchange student.

All the students are prescreened: they speak English; have medical insurance, and their own spending money for any incidental costs. All these students require is a loving family to share their experience within our beautiful country. Help them learn the meaning of �Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.�

P.I.E is looking for host families in your area. Those who are interested are urged to contact Pat Littrell at 1-877-534-3144 or email patlittrell@pieusa.org. Experience is not necessary, as an orientation and support will be provided.

Please help P.I.E. make the dreams of these young teens come true, with the opportunity to live and study in our country, and possibly aid in making a difference in their future and the future of the world.

Teach refugee how to drive

2008-08-03T12:53:25-04:00

Recently arrived immigrant needs to get a driver's license so she can drive to job interviews. She has already passed the Virginia written exam and has a valid learner's permit, but as a recently-arrived refugee has no funds to pay for a private school for behind-the-wheel lessons.

As a single mom w. 3 kids, she needs to expand her job search beyond the local Walmart-type minimum wage jobs, and for that she'll need to drive.

This is a very deserving person: although a refugee herself, she's been helping OTHER refugees by accompanying them to doctor's appointments, etc. because she's fluent in English and they are not. It's time someone helped her.

If you own your own car (automatic shift) and are competent to teach someone how to drive, pls email me. She's on the South Side.

Thank you.

Organic gardening project in support of Agent Orange victims (Vietnam)

2008-07-27T03:03:26-04:00

Organic gardening project in support of Agent Orange victims
July 30 - August 12, 2008
September 17 - September 30, 2008

Volunteer project: Vietnam Friendship Village is a treatment/care centre for Agent Orange victims located in Ha Tay Province, which was opened in 1993 to treat children and veterans suffering from the effects of Agent Orange. The children, whose fathers or grandfathers were exposed (causing chromosomal damage) or who were contaminated from their mother�s milk, suffer from a range of difficult conditions. While staying in Vietnam Friendship Village, children and veterans are nourished and are provided with free medical care. The children, who may stay there for several years, receive not only basic education, but also some forms of job training.

The Organic Gardening Project was launched in 2004 with the goal of creating islands of a harmonious approach to agriculture within areas of environmental and human devastation - increasing awareness of the consequences of war and, at the same time, demonstrating positive strategies for healing and living. At this moment, the farm is providing about 60% of the village�s consumption of vegetable. It is expected that it will cover all the needs and there will be products left for sale to raise funds for the village.

Volunteers will help with clearing the site, preparing soil, weeding, planting vegetables and fruit trees, cleaning a fish pond and redecorating the flowers in the garden. Additional activities may include planting trees, moving bricks for construction, collecting garbage and playing with the children or exchanging with local volunteers or farmers.
Discussions among the volunteers about Agent Orange, Vietnamese culture, and other social issues will take place during some of the evenings.

Why should you take part in a clinical trial? Here are a few reasons:

Patients are well informed of their medical status while taking part in a clinical trial.

Patients often have the opportunity for more office visits at no cost during trials.

Patients may receive cutting edge drug therapies sometimes not yet available to the public.

Patients taking part in clinical trials open new doors for future medical treatments.

Patients can take part in clinical trials and receive special attention and treatment with no concern about cost.

Please help my mom! (Richmond & Nottoway County)

2008-07-22T19:17:25-04:00

Thank you for taking the time to read this. I am writing for your help. In May, my mom was in a near fatal burn accident. A barbecue grill blew up in her face while she was lighting it. She was in MCV's burn unit for over a month, most of the time in ICU on a respirator. She has since returned home despite the need for additional skin grafts which she's declined because of the extreme pain. She has a nurse and physical therapist visit daily. This woman has a heart and soul of gold. She always has, and to this day still, goes far out of her way to do anything within her power for other people, most recently welcoming two friends into her home to help them get back on their feet financially. While they have been a blessing in taking some of the responsibility off my shoulders in caring for her (since I'm an only child), they can't do everything. Before the accident my mom was the strongest, most physically active person I know for 60 years old. Even after knee replacement surgery, she maintained her physical and financial independence. She did flea markets, yard sales, and tended to her own yard work in the country. Now since this accident, she's home bound, not allowed to be in direct sunlight, and it may take 12-18 months of healing. I absolutely hate the fact that I can't be Superwoman and do all the things for her that needs to be done because she's my only family and I owe her my life. I work and attend college full time and this situation has become so mentally and physically exhausting. I need help!
I'm asking for anyone that can help to please do so. There are a few things that my mom needs taken care of in and around her home that I just can't do. She lives in Nottoway County, which is an hour away from Richmond so I can really only go there on the weekends. Though financial help would be very much appreciated, I'm not asking for money. I'm asking for a few items and even services. Please don't think this is crazy, but here's what's needed:

-- A riding lawnmower. The man that is currently cutting the grass for her does it with a push mower. She has ACRES of land and I can't believe he does it. She never had a need for a mower until she (finally) kicked her abusive boyfriend out of her house and he took his mower with him. Good riddens however.

-- A plumber. My mom lives in a mobile home and if anyone knows mobile homes, they're not of the highest quality construction. So one of her bathtubs is cracked and completely un-usable. My mom cares for my 80 year old grandmother and this is the tub in her bathroom. I'd love to see a stand up shower there because my mom can't help my grandmother bathe.

-- A mechanic. I've allowed my mom's friends that are staying with her to use my old car to transport my mom around, but it has a few problems with it. But the main problem is her minivan. Not only do the power windows not work, neither does the air conditioning.

-- A bricklayer. Not sure if that's actually what she needs but it sounds right. She has vinyl skirting around the foundation of her home which is in dire need of replacement. She and I actually installed it ourselves in the dead of winter years ago but it's now in shambles. Because of this, her pipes sometimes freeze in the winter. Last year she would just crawl under the house with a blow torch and thaw them. But now she can't even use her right arm or turn her head, let alone get under the house. I'm asking if someone would build a permanent foundation of brick or concrete for her. This would also help insulate the house. Her intention was to work and save money to have this done this year, but the plans have obviously changed.

-- An HVAC specialist. Long story short, her central air barely works. The temperature in her home sometimes rivals with the oven. We've had someone come out to service it and I believe put Freon in the system, but it didn't help. I think she needs a new unit or system.

-- A builder. She needs a garage or large storage shed built. She's never really had adequate outdoor storage and I hoped to get something built for her myself, but after doing a little pricing I've realized it's just not within my financial reach. I never knew a good shed was so expensive!

There are so many more little things that she needs done, but the above list are the biggest, most expensive things that I just can't do it. If you are someone that could help, or know someone that knows someone that could help, please contact me. I can only hope no one will prank call me, but I'm posting my phone number also. I don't know what else to do but rely on the goodness of strangers. Thank you so much in advance!

See details below:

Hanover County Department of Social Services is asking you to clean out your closets for the "Got You Covered" Clothing Event. Hanover DSS in partnership with our wonderful community partners (including AmeriCorps and Doswell Ruritan Club) is sponsoring a clothing drive and then the distribution of the collected clothing.

The drive will begin on 8/04/08 for collection of the gently used, clean clothing and new personal hygiene items through 8/20/08. We will also be collecting personal care items and basic necessity items (such as socks, stockings, underwear, soap, shaving items, cosmetics, cologne, shoes, ties, coats, belts and costume jewelry and hygiene products). The clothes and personal care items will be distributed to low income individuals and families on 8/23 (Saturday) at the Doswell Ruritan Club.

Our primary focus is to assist and meet the needs of our back to school and back to work citizens and their families. We will need approximately 30 volunteers to assist with the collection, cleaning, sorting, displaying and distribution of the items from 8/4 through 8/23. Volunteer opportunities are diverse and many. Lastly, we will need clothing racks and hangers for the event (these will be returned to the donor on 8/25). Volunteer hours will be documented.

If you have any questions about the event or what you can do to help, please do not hesitate to call (804-365-4109) or e-mail us at (mgc085@central.dss.state.va.us). Please drop off clothing and personal hygiene items at Hanover DSS, 12304 Washington Hwy, Ashland, VA 23005 or

Almost 11 years ago, I met an amazing man- then just a boy. It was your typical high school love story. Neither of us realized the magnitude of our feelings for eachother and how they would impact our entire lives. We were first seperated when he went off to college, then to the airforce. Our lives took very different paths from there and we lost touch. Recently, through the wonders of the internet... we have been reunited. He is deployed to South Korea for at least a year. We are fortunate enough to be able to talk online and on the phone, although thats getting expensive.
Most people spend their whole lives searching for a love this strong, this pure, and never find it. I lost mine, but I have now been given a second chance. The chance of a lifetime.
I am trying to raise the funds to travel to Korea to spend NewYears and his birthday (1/4) with him. The ticket and the expenses is going to be just under $2000.00. He has been fighting for our country for 8 years, its the least I can do is go see him... until he can come home safe.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Seeking a Korean Bilingual Volunteer (Richmond)

2008-07-22T11:33:18-04:00

Hello,

We have an older Korean gentleman in a local nursing home. He is the only Korean resident at the facility. He has been in distance with all of his family. We are seeking a volunteer with a good heart to visit and be at his company few times a month. He is disabled and does not have much social interaction. An individual who can speak and be at his side will be a great blessing to him. Please email me if you're willing to be that good Samaritan!

Thank you

David
