Yes We Can - Barack Obama Music Video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjXyqcx-mYY

America is in a unique position. The people have this golden opportunity to elect someone that isnt establishment, isnt backed by the corporations and wont be ran by lobbyists. A humble man who has worked as an activist, lawyer and now a Senator from Illinois, Barack Obama brings new life and energy.


Joan Baez - We shall overcome

In this time of war, racism, sexism--I thought this song is more needed than ever.


Mahalia Jackson - Precious Lord Take My Hand
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSHvUvlzznc

This is all you need on a Sunday morning. One of the few things Martin Luther King Jr and I have in common, this is our favorite gospel song.
