Dr Martin Luther King, Jr. drove this nation to its own truth, namely
that all people are created equal. Once equal, then he asks us to
dance to the higher tunes; rule of law, nonviolence, protection of the
weakest of us. He knew and preached that human service, the taking
care of one another, was the highest calling. Enrichment began in
healthy and helping exchanges. The poor are not the objects of our
affections but the fellow travelers just like us and they have much to
give; their time, their love, their poetry, their thoughts, and their
very lives. The contract between people to be decent to one another is
the thread by which we must live. And not just us, we must demand of
our governments the same standards they ask of us.
We miss Dr Martin Luther King, Jr. each day. His day, our day, asks
each of us to find our expression of decency and justice and
non violence in our time, in our community, in our family, and in our
world.
The clarion call by Causecast for a day of service is clear and
righteous and I hope spreads across the land that still needs its
truth to be practiced in all of our lives, enriched by this single and
mighty force called Dr Martin Luther king Jr.

Hello Jack, thank you for sharing your wide experience with all of us through Causecast and remind us the work is not done. I must say it is hard to Top the Wisdom of the words of Dr.Martin Luther King. Jr above, or the remarks you added. So, perhaps I best let you know that the movement that Dr.King and you supported and helped lead, has inspired many many far far beyond the US National Borders. As for the People whom I have spoken to about this subject, all of them saw the election of President as a renewal of the American (Constitutional) Promise, and a great sign for the Future. Indeed contact between all Human Beings should be a celebration of differences and a coordination of talents....
Lets all join in through Causecast and any other Channel available to Help set the Next Step. I am totally in agreement, we should remember the Constitution, and use this opportunity to once and for all arrange it be caried out and lived- as intended.
