CAN NEW MEDIA HELP THE G.O.P. GET THE WORD OUT?

There have been many times I have disagreed with Talk Show Host Hugh Hewitt but this not one of them. Hugh is right New media will help the G.O.P in reaching the Internet savvy young adults, and the political news junkie (like myself) by spreading the word at the grass root level .

Just think about it, Myspace and Facebook have a massive group of people discussing everything from the latest fashion tips to the hottest up coming movies and the best thing of all it's FREE!

With in three years I took my hobby to the next level by Podcasting and Myspacing my show and events that I have done, and all from the comfort of my home studio! I have build a following of 30,000 plus that want to hear the next DJ mix and it did not cost me a cent extra to do it.

I'm on board with Hugh on this one I have wittiness the power on new Media first hand. Back in 2000 when I started my hobby (Club Djing) I had to go out and past flyer's out to people (and most of them didn't even look at it) and hope and prayed that people would show up to my event so I could at least make my money back on the cost of printing up the flyer's.

Now I have seen D J's, Musical Artist, Authors, and Movie Production Houses post on Myspace, Facebook, Cell Phone texting, Iming (instant messaging) and bloging about their events and they are getting a better response from that than anything else.

The best thing about New Media is it is simple but very powerful! If you blog it they WILL come!

Meaning if the G.O.P start putting things in place and embrace New Media now, tie that with Talk Radio then by 2010 the G.O.P WILL have a very powerful force that will make the earth shake!


Hugh Hewitt has started the ball rolling! This one thing may be the best way for the G.O.P to re event themselves!


Word to The Wise:

Hugh Hewitt gets a home run on this one!

I will be talking more about this on my next Podcast Show

Kwanzaa The True History And My Opinion About It

Kwanzaa is a week-long holiday celebrated throughout the world, honoring African heritage, marked by participants lighting a kinara (candle holder). It is observed from December 26 to January 1 each year. The First Kwanzaa stampwas printed in1997.

Kwanzaa consists of seven days of celebration, featuring activities such as candle-lighting and pouring of libations, and culminating in a feast and gift giving. It was created by Ron Karenga and was first celebrated from December 26, 1966, to January 1, 1967.

An African-American scholar and social activist, Ron Karenga created Kwanzaa in 1966 as the first African-American holiday. Karenga said his goal was to "...give Blacks an alternative to the existing holiday and give Blacks an opportunity to celebrate themselves and history, rather than simply imitate the practice of the dominant society."The name Kwanzaa derives from the Swahili phrase "matunda ya kwanza", meaning "first fruits". The choice of Swahili, an East African language, reflects its status as a symbol of Pan-Africanism, especially in the 1960s.

Kwanzaa is a celebration that has its roots in the black nationalist movement of the 1960s, and was established as a means to help African Americans reconnect with their African cultural and historical heritage by uniting in meditation and study of "African traditions" and "common humanist principles." The first Kwanzaa stamp was issued by the United States Postal Service on October 22, 1997 at the Natural History Museum in Los Angeles, California. In 2004 a second Kwanzaa stamp, created by artist Daniel Minter was issued which has seven figures in colorful robes symbolizing the seven principles.

In 2008, Maya Angelou narrated The Black Candle, the first feature film about Kwanzaa.

Now here is my opinion about Kwanzaa:

As A Black American I was raised on Christmas and I have fond memories of a the birth of Jesus, tree, church, and family and this is how I will continue to celebrate Christmas! I thought that was the purpose of the exercise. I'm not trying to be mean but I'm a little tired of people assuming that just because I'm a Black American I do the Kwanzaa thing! Not that Kwanzaa is a bad thing it's not for me. But the one thing I can say thank god we live in a country that allows us to celebrate Christmas or Kwanzaa!
