33 Days Until the "Global March for Justice" in Washington, D.C. and solidarity marches on 17January 2011

Good dawn from Potomac, Maryland. I am awed this morning by the utter sllence of cool morning air, as if the wind was holding it's breath, while the stars twinkle on. A red fox living near our home then rustled through the fall leaves, and we both stood in silence together.
I started my day yesterday with a holiday concert at my youngest son's elementary school. The shear thrill of hearing a diverse medley of the next generation harmoniously join together and sing of love, good will, and peace brought me (and lots of the moms) to tears. I also think I may have witnessed a future American Idol champion. Here's a link to part of the concert:

Then I traveled downtown to Washington, D.C., which I have nicknamed the "Vortex of Justice." The Justice Movement held it's first press conference at the National Press Club.

BIRTH OF THE JUSTICE MOVEMENT UPDATES
The Justice Movement (www.justivemovementnow.net) continues to build rapidly generate unimaginable breakthroughs! I will share the top 3 miracles that have occurred in the last 24 hours:
1. GLOBAL IDEA COMPETITION
"Global Idea" is being launched today to create opportunities to awaken the ingenuity and innovation of the people living on the planet by generating ideas from any and all people for boldly and effectively transforming our global community for the 21st century to rapidly solving domestic (in all countries), regions, and global challenges (anywhere and everywhere), NOW!
People can join together to build ideas for the Global Idea competition. The ideas will be competing on the following three criteria:
a. BOLD & TRANSFORMATIVE: Think big about how to transform your country, region, and the World;
b. DIVERSITY: Mobilize as many people as possible, as the quantity and diversity of support matters;
c. BREAKTHROUGH PERFORMANCE & RESULTS: Demonstrate breakthrough performance and measurable results are achievable by when.
Use every possible way of organizing for your Global Idea: tribal network, family + community network, use facebook, twitter, your communities, your organizations, sports leagues, religious groups, social networks, institutions etc. There are no rules or limits to what possibilities that you can mobilize in support of your "Global Idea."
All submissions must be made by Friday, January 14, 2011. People supporting submissions are invited to New York City, NY for January 15-22, 2011 where a series of events are being possible. We are hoping that Facebook, American Idol, MTV, CNN, MSNBC, FOX and any possible social media programming organization will join this process so that people around the World will get to vote and learn about the best Global Ideas.
As "Global Idea" evolves, check for updates at: www.justicemovementnow.net
2. GLOBAL PEACE ORGANIZATION (GPO)
My top priority "Global Idea" submission will be to create a third generation international organization, proposed to be called the "Global Peace Organization (GPO)." GPO's proposed goal is to rapidly realizing human rights by all and for all people on Earth as a way of life.
On Friday, January 21, 2011, I am proposing that a meeting be held at United Nations Headquarters, in New York City, NY. Representatives from countries and regions that participate in "Global Idea" will participate in the drafting of the founding and promulgation of the "Charter of the Global Peace Organization (GPO)."
Evolving concepts for creating the Global Peace Organization (GPO) will be posted at:

3. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE FOR GLOBAL JUSTICE AND PEACE
Another "Global Idea" that I am proposing is that schools choose to adopt a daily practice of having students recite a "Pledge of Allegiance for Global Peace." Draft text for consideration is:
"I pledge allegiance to the Earth and all the Life which it supports. Together we stand rapidly realizing human rights for all people on Earth as a way of life. One planet in our care, irreplaceable with sustenance and respect, waging justice and peace for all."
AMERICAN HERITAGE OF WAGING PEACE & JUSTICE
As a proud patriotic American, I am moved an inspired by the long history of American leadership in generating the possibility that all people on Earth can join together to create a global peaceful sustainable community, NOW!:
"Observe good faith and justice towards all Nations. Cultivate peace and harmony with all." --George Washington, Farewell Address, September 19, 1796
"It isn't enough to talk about peace. One must believe in it. And it isn't enough to believe in it. One must work at it." --Eleanor Roosevelt, former First Lady of the United States
"Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal." --Reverend Martin Luther King Jr.
"American weapons of war. Not the peace of the grave or the security of the slave. I am talking about genuine peace, the kind of peace that makes life on earth worth living, not merely peace for Americans, but peace for all men and women; not merely peace in our time, but peace for all time." -- President John F. Kennedy
"A people free to choose will always choose peace." --President Ronald Reagan
"Peace is not a spectator sport. The enemies of peace don't need your approval. All they need is your apathy." --President William Jefferson Clinton, Speech in Northern Ireland, December 2000
Thanks so much for taking the time to read these ideas, the progress, and the miracles that people around the World are creating. The Birth of the Justice Movement is an opportunity for people on Earth to join together to introduce an Era of Justice and Peace, NOW!.
Yours in peace and solidarity for bold action NOW!
