PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMAS 2015 STATE OF THE UNION SPEECH; A CHALLENGE TO THE INTELLECTUAL AND MORAL OPPOSITION. PT 3.

''DO YOU REMEMBER...BLASTS FROM THE PAST. ANALYSIS OF PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMAS 2016 SOTUS. PT 1," has generated enough reader interest, to the point of reprinting previous sections of PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMAS SOTUS. THE FOLLOWING WAS TAKEN FROM THE 2015 SPEECH.

A Final Analysis of President Obamas 1/20/2015 STATE OF THE UNION SPEECH.

"If you share the broad vision I outlined tonight, join me in the work at hand. If you disagree with parts of it, I hope you’ll at least work with me where you do agree. And I commit to every Republican here tonight that I will not only seek out your ideas, I will seek to work with you to make this country stronger."

Translation-  "It is True that I, and Certain Members of Congress, will probably Disagree about which Issues should take Priority over the Course of the Next Two Years, and what should be done to make things Better for the American people."

"However, what is Most Important does not Lie in the Opposing Views we may have, but in the Method Chosen to Resolve Differences. Instead of Treating One Another Like the Enemy, we must come Together to Accomplish what needs to get Done."

"To make this Happen, I am Reaching Out to the Republican Party.  I Promise to Seek out Your Advice, and Listen to Your Opinions about Resolving the Differences we have, to the Greater Benefit of the American People."

"The Keys are Working Together, Finding Common Ground, and Putting the Best Interests of All Ahead of the Desire to See the Opposition Fail."

Finally, I Think the Following Sums Up PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMAS VISION

FOR A BETTER TOMORROW. ( AGAIN TAKEN FROM THE TRANSCRIPT OF THE SPEECH.)

"For all our blind spots and shortcomings,

we are a people with the strength and generosity of spirit

to bridge divides, to unite in common effort, and help our

neighbors, whether down the street or on the other side of

the world."

"I want our actions to tell every child, in every

neighborhood: your life matters, and we are as committed

to improving your life chances as we are for our own kids."

"We are a people who value the dignity and worth

of every citizen man and woman, young and old, black and white,

Latino and Asian, immigrant and Native American, gay

and straight, Americans with Mental Illness or Physical Disability."

PRETTY RADICAL STUFF, ISN'T IT?

NOW, COMPARE THAT TO ANYTHING DONALD TRUMP HAS SAID
DURING HIS TIME IN OFFICE,,,

...IT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HAVING A DECENT, CARING AND
INTELLECTUALLY GIFTED LEADER ON ONE HAND,,,

...AND AN AMORAL DEMAGOGUE WHO RELIES ON THE MOST VILE
AND CONTEMPTIBLE PARTS OF HUMANITY TO BACK UP HIS DESIRE
TO DESTROY ALL PROGRESS THAT HAS BEEN MADE IN THE LAST
TWO CENTURIES.

Help win the fight against these bogus recalls, David. EMILY's LIST.

Did you hear the good news from Nevada?

Republican attempts to recall state Senators Joyce Woodhouse and Nicole Cannizzaro — whom we helped elect — just hit a major setback.

A Nevada district court judge just upheld a state law that allows voters to withdraw their signatures from recall petitions, potentially removing hundreds of names.

We've had Joyce and Nicole's backs from the start of these bogus recall attempts — which are nothing more than a Republican plot to turn the state Senate red.

But this fight isn't over. There will be another round of signature verification, and this case could go all the way to the Nevada Supreme Court.

...help continue to fight this and other outrageous attempts by Republicans to undermine our women and fair elections.

Thanks,

Jenna Kruse,
Vice President of Research, EMILY's List

MARCH FOR OUR LIVES.... PLANNED PARENTHOOD.

Planned Parenthood Advocacy Fund of Massachusetts, Inc.

Dear SEARCHINGFORREASON.NET, The past few weeks have been nothing short of inspirational. I have been in awe as young people – from Parkland to Springfield – have walked out, organized for change, and demanded action on gun violence prevention. This incredible movement shows us that young people are not only the future – they are the present and they are a force to be reckoned with.  This Saturday, the Planned Parenthood Advocacy Fund of Massachusetts is proud to participate in March for Our Lives events in Boston, Worcester, and Springfield. Join us to remember the countless lives we have lost to gun violence and stand in solidarity with those leading the fight for change.  RSVP to March for Our Lives in Boston RSVP to March for Our Lives in Worcester RSVP to March for Our Lives in Springfield We recognize gun violence is a public health crisis – and many of the communities Planned Parenthood serves are disproportionately affected by gun violence, including women, people of color, and LGBTQ people. By working together to prevent gun violence, we can better ensure that Planned Parenthood patients can lead healthier, safer lives.  I hope you’ll join us at a local March for Our Lives event near you and take action to push our country forward.  Thank you, Kim KargmanOrganizing ManagerPlanned Parenthood Advocacy Fund of Massachusetts

Our most fundamental right. HILLARY CLINTON, ONWARD TOGETHER.

Election season is exciting, David, and it's also a time to take stock of where we are as a nation. Are we paying attention? Are we coming out to participate in primaries and local elections? And are we making sure that our most fundamental right is accessible to every eligible voter?

This week, I've been traveling abroad, talking to people about how our countries have grown and changed over the last few years. I was so proud to be able to share with folks here that Conor Lamb won his race on Tuesday, thanks to the hard work of organizers and volunteers in the 18th district of Pennsylvania who made their voices heard.

But in Pennsylvania and across the country, access to the ballot box is obstructed by one unnecessary measure or another. Working to ensure that the right to vote is protected is one of the most critical issues of our time -- and that's why I'm so grateful to the team at iVote, another one of our Onward Together partners, for the work that they do.

Take a moment to learn more about iVote below...

Onward!

The organization: iVote

The organizers: Campaign veterans Ellen Kurz and Jeremy Bird

The mission: To secure voting rights for all Americans by investing in campaigns to bring universal, automatic voter registration to multiple states and by electing voting rights champions to be the chief election administrator in the office of the Secretary of State in battleground states.

The story: Founded in 2014, iVote went on the offensive by working to elect pro-voting Secretaries of State in key battleground states. Whereas voting rights groups have relied on challenges in court after rights had been impinged, or defeating efforts to further erode rights, iVote takes a different tack - 'flipping the script' from playing defense on voter suppression efforts to going on offense.

The latest: In 2016, iVote ran a petition campaign in Nevada to put automatic voter registration on the ballot. After being successfully certified, iVote is now focused on working with partners to win the ballot initiative in November '18. iVote is also working to advance several pieces of legislation that would put automatic voter registration on the ballot in more states. Earlier this year, iVote announced that they plan to spend $5 million in efforts to elect Democratic, pro-voting rights secretaries of state in seven target states of Arizona, Nevada, Colorado, Michigan, Ohio, New Mexico, and Iowa.
