Hi Everyone:

The bell ringing and other sounds of freedom event will be held across the counrty one hour before President Obama takes the oath of office. The reason for this event is to show President Obama that the average person is supporting the him so that he can work for programs that will benefit us and not only Wall Street. FDR said to one of his advisors that he would implement a new program only if the voters showed their support. We need to let President Obama know that we will show support for programs that help us. This is a positive alternative to the middle finger event. Can this event be announced on the Radio Obama program and this week. The email announcement that is being circulated is:

TO ALL AMERICANS
INVITE OUR FAMILIES, FRIENDS AND FELLOW CITIZENS TO JOIN IN

INAUGURATION DAY BELL RINGING and RESOUNDING OUT

LET FREEDOM RING AND RESOUND OUT

Many Americans will participate simultaneously across our country in a “bell ringing” and “resounding out” event (for those of us who do not have bells) on Inauguration Day — Tuesday January 20th. This grassroots event is to honor the inauguration of President Barack H. Obama and to show that we are united in helping Freedom ring and resound out across our country and world.

Taking part in this event will awaken in us and in our fellow citizens the call to carry out our civic duties and to continue helping President Obama in our efforts to restore America’s hope and greatness in this time of unprecedented challenge.

In addition to hearing the ringing of bells throughout our country, other resounding out sounds will be heard like the honking of horns, singing and playing of music and other sounds that demonstrate our commitment to strive every day to make our country better and to safeguard our liberties and democratic way of life.

In Washington D.C. the event starts at 11:00 AM EST — one hour before President Obama takes the oath of office at 12:00 PM EST. This event occurs in the places where we live and work and lasts until the final bell calls us to service.
