LISTEN UP CONGRESS - HADIYA PENDLETON'S DEATH IS ENOUGH

HADIYA PENDELTON 15 YEARS OLD

While Congress is meets daily in their secured walls to debate the safety of our country, the violence on the streets continues! This time the news hits the president's previous home city of Chicago.

Chicago is quickly becoming one of the most violent cities in the country and now another body is added to the count. Hadiya Pendleton was senseless gunned down yesterday as she found shelter from the rain after school. She had just performed with her school band at the Obama Inauguration last week. She was only 15 years old. Her death adds to the toll of over 42 people shot in Chicago in the month of January. The most violence in that city in over a decade.

There is gun violence and these type of stories all over the United States everyday that go unnoticed, except by the people are affected by the unnecessary loss of a loved one! It takes a huge story like Newtown and other mass slayings for Congress to even begin to notice! When will it end? How much more can and will we take?

LISTEN UP CONGRESS! IT IS TIME TO ACT - NOW!

OBAMA'S SECOND INAUGURAL WEEKEND TO REMEMBER

OBAMA’S SECOND INAUGURAL WEEKEND TO REMEMBER

Washington DC was the center of attention the world and for a second time for President Barack Obama! While there were fewer attendees and fewer balls, there was just as much fun and excitement throughout the city.

There were several unofficial balls and two official balls. Thousands attended events and joined in the celebration. As expected, several thousand also went down on the national mall to watch the swearing in ceremonies and presidential speech. The weekend ended with watching the President and First Lady share this special moment embraced on stage soaking in the magnitude of the day.

There were speeches and performances by many notables including Myrlie Edgars Williams, Beyonce, James Taylor, Jennifer Hudson, Jamie Foxx and Stevie Wonder. There were also performances by choirs, bands and other relative unknowns to give a regal event a personal flair.

This day was also a historical moment. January 20^th was MLK day and it also marked the 50^th Anniversary of Martin Luther King’s “I Have A Dream” Speech on the mall. To mark the significance, President Obama used Martin Luther King’s bible for the swearing ceremony. It symbolizes the dream that King spoke of full circle as the president holds two historical moments for African Americans – the first African American to be elected and the first African American to serve two terms.

While this moment will forever in history for all its great moments, the greatest victory is being blessed to be alive to experience it…Again!

INAUGURAL PROPOSAL

Dominique Austin knew he had met the girl of his dreams years ago when he met Jean Prioleau. Now he wanted to make her dreams come true.

Austin had purchased a ring and planned to make his lady's day special on Jan 19th, 2013 at the Illinois Inaugural Ball but he could not figure out when was the best time. He had informed Prioleau's best friend, Sean Cook and her mom, Elveeta Martin, who attended the ball with the couple, about his plans to propose that night.

Nervously, Austin searched for the best moment. And suddenly as he was standing in line to take an inaugural picture, he realized that this was the moment! As he and his lady went to stand in front of the backdrop, Austin got down on one knee, and asked Prioleau to marry him! At that moment everyone realized that he was not posing for a picture but proposing to his future bride! Prioleau who was completely surprised that her dreams were finally coming true, replied "YES" through a waterfall of tears and uncontrollable laughter in her expression of joy! The crowd that had been waiting to take their inaugural photos turned into an audience for a special moment.

"Since the first time I laid eyes on her.... I had to make her mine," says Austin of his future bride. And that he did. Now he can keep her by his side for the rest of his life. Congratulations to you both!
