Transmuting the present • Securing the future

"Let us do it in a concerted rather than a scattered effort.  Let us plan well. it is necessary to clear the entire city, the entire state." (1)

While groups are currently organizing all around the country to help bring about positive change in the U.S., let’s mobilize to do what we do best to clean up the nation, state by state, by wielding the sword of the word to help clean up America.

“To lessen in force or intensity, as wrath, grief, harshness, or pain; moderate; to make less severe: to mitigate a punishment; to make (a person, one's state of mind, disposition, etc.) milder or more gentle.”  (2)

We invite all our brothers and sisters from around the world to join us in our mission to clear America, if you can, through November 2010. After which time, perhaps we will expand our efforts internationally.

South Carolina and Georgia escaped here during the early to mid 18th century, making this a precursor to the Underground Railroad.[19])

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_Tower_%28Miami%29

_Dry-Tortugas.jpg

(Protects several islands, associated coral reefs and marine life, and Fort Jefferson, a huge pre-Civil War masonry fort. The name “Tortugas
was given to these islands by Ponce de Leon in 1513, for the large numbers of sea turtles (“tortugas”) found in the area.)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kennedy_Space_Center

(The John F. Kennedy Space Center (KSC) is the U.S. government
installation that manages and operates America's astronaut launch facilities. Serving as the base for the country's three space shuttles,
the NASA field center also conducts unmanned civilian launches from adjacent Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (operated by the
45th Space Wing). KSC has been the launch site for every U.S. human space flight since 1968. Its iconic Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) is the fourth-largest structure in the world by volume.)
