SUMMARY:Obama Inauguration Caravan
DESCRIPTION:Many of us are planning to attend Senator Obama's inaugura
	tion in January '09 (if and when he is elected\; I have to say that be
	cause I'm superstitious and don't want to jinx anything!). As of now I
	'm planning to fly to Jersey\, meet up with my son\, and take the trai
	n down to D.C. However&#8230\;I have a recurring vision of an Obama ca
	ravan to D.C.\, starting from various points in the nation\, with the 
	convergence point being D.C\, of course. Think about the impact on and
	 message for congress\, PRESIDENT OBAMA and the rest of the nation! Ga
	s prices are obviously prohibitive\, but not so much if we carpool and
	 share the cost. Drivers would have to be willing to incur the wear an
	d tear on their cars. A decision could be made regarding whether or no
	t to drive straight through vs. taking a couple of days to get there\,
	 hence enjoying the ride and the camaraderie. Riders and drivers would
	 have to coordinate with each other and a larger group once establishe
	d. Cars and riders/drivers could proudly display Obama gear all the wa
	y to D.C! Another option is group booking on Amtrak\, something I woul
	d be happy to check out. We are the grassroots movement taking back ou
	r government and our country after years of corruption and scandal! Ar
	e we grassy enough to give something like this a try? 1700 miles from 
	Denver to D.C. 2800 miles from Seattle to D.C. 2700 miles from LA to D
	.C. 1400 miles from Dallas to D.C. 1000 miles from Miami to D.C. Inter
	states 10\, 40\, 70\, 80\, 90\, 75\, 95 People get ready\, there's a t
	rain coming You don't need no baggage\, you just get on board All you 
	need is faith to hear the diesels humming You don't need no ticket no\
	, no you just thank the lord People get ready\, there's a train to Jor
	dan Picking up passengers from coast to coast Faith is the key\, open 
	the doors and board all There's hope for all among who love the most p
	eople get ready come\, come thank the lord People get ready there's a 
	train a-coming You don't need no baggage\, just get on board All you n
	eed is faith to hear the diesel humming You don't need no ticket\, jus
	t thank the lord. I know some of us are atheists and I mean no disresp
	ect by including the lyrics to this song. For me\, the song invokes im
	ages of joy\, peace\, optimism\, and faith that YES\, WE CAN! So&#8230
	\;is this something of interest to others around the nation? Consider 
	yourselves a focus group by signing up and simply letting me know if y
	ou think such an event is doable\, OR by sending me an e-mail to bigma
	csmama@hotmail.com NO COMMITMENTS!! Just a brainstorm leading to a dia
	logue&#8230\;
