RECESSION! What is it and how to stop it? Let's face the facts. Since the new election, our country is hurting badly. Millions of Americans are without a job. People have lost their jobs, cannot get a job, losing everything they own....... living in TENTS and Shelters. Shelters are full and have to turn people away! What are people to do? Can I, YOU, US, AMERICA fight for this? YES, we can.

Maybe I can't change the recession, but I hope to HELP everyone in need with just a few basics; support, more awareness, raise money to feed and shelter homeless people who have been affected from the recession. After several stories that went down in history of people helping one another, I want to do the same thing. To name a few; In 1984 Bob Geldof heard of the famine in Africa and started a Global charity concert called "LIVE AID". 100 artists played and they raised 150 million dollars in ONE day to help raise awareness and begin the fight AGAINST world hunger. Then there was Betty Williams in 1976, a receptionist and mother of two, witnessed three children killed during the political turmoil in Northern Ireland. Within TWO days, Betty obtained 6,000 signatures petitioning for peace. ONE WEEK LATER, she organized another march, this time the march was 35,000 strong.

Of course who can forget Nelson Mandela? In 1920 he was a small boy who had a dream that one day the world would have equality over his country. After years of activism, he was charged with political treason and sentenced to LIFE in prison. In 1990, after 27 years in prison, he was finally released and won the election ending racist Apartheid Regime that divided South Africa for 46 years! LETS DO THIS! Any email given will be for my own private use to inform you of when and where the marchs will be. This is where we can all raise the attention and get the awareness we need to begin this process! ~Laura A Lee~

We, the undersigned, call on the US to raise awareness and help our fellow Americans in need from the recession! Lets stand up and say BEFORE..... AFTER (America Fighting To End Recession). Let's reverse this "It has to get worse before it gets better" to " LET IT GET BETTER, BEFORE IT GETS WORSE".

As once quoted, " Never doubt that a small group of committed people can CHANGE THE WORLD, indeed it is the only thing that ever has!!!!
