The POWER of OUR COMMUNITY - AWESOME


By Mantra Of Peace, 2010-07-06
The POWER of OUR COMMUNITY - AWESOME

<p>Dear friends, musicians, poets, artists and community members,<br /><br />I hope you are all well.<br /><br />This is an exciting update that demonstrates the power of our community in peaceful, artistic action and activism.<br /><br />As you may be aware, Neil Young's website Living With War Today is hosting<br /> 2 videos from the Mantra of Peace music compilation. Maria Daines and<br /> Paul Killington's song video, Peace Wins The Election, and, Nigel<br /> Potter's song video, No More War (Upon The Green Earth)<br /><br />When I first wrote to the community notifying of this wonderful opportunity to<br /> have this important music brought to a wider audience just by clicking<br /> on the links provided below to view these videos via the L.W.W. Today<br /> website, I never imagined the support would be so amazing.<br /><br />To update you all, Nigel Potter's song video has gone from chart position<br /> 277 all the way up to chart position 14. And, Maria Daines and Paul<br /> Killington's song video has skyrocketed from chart position 630 to an<br /> outstanding chart position 11.<br /><br />I really can't thank you all enough for your ultimate support and community spirit. I do however I offer my gratitude to you all for bringing the goals, plans and hopes<br /> to a level of spirited heartwarming support and community spirit.<br /><br />It was my goal to see these videos chart in the top 100 through 500<br /> positions, with a plan to utilize the power of community action with<br /> the ultimate hope that the Peace Wins The Election and No More War<br /> (Upon The Green Earth) videos would chart in the top 10 positioning to<br /> give more exposure to the resonance of these songs for the world at<br /> large.<br /><br />If we continue on the path that we are on in giving these videos the attention they deserve, then perhaps, the goals, plans and<br /> hopes will be realized. <br /><br />Please see the original request for community assistance correspondence below giving you more opportunity<br /> to click on the video links and showing the ultimate result of the<br /> power of our community....which of course is AWESOME !!!!!<br /><br />Thank you all so very, very much for your continued support and friendship.<br /><br />Peace, <br /><br />Paul / Zest<br /><br />P.S. You are all helping to make a difference in creating awareness through peaceful compassionate community co-operation.<br /><br />P.P.S. Here is the original announcement about Neil Young's website hosting 2<br /> Mantra of Peace music compilation videos for your re-consideration. <br /><br /><br />Dear friends of Peace,<br /> <br /> Thank you all for your kind and wonderful support of this music<br /> compilation and the wonderful musicians that have kindly donated their<br /> songs for the purpose of giving food for thought while we ponder the<br /> prospects of Peace.<br /><br />I wish to inform you that Neil Young's website Living With War Today,<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.neilyoung.com/lwwtoday" target="_blank">http://www.neilyoung.com/lwwtoday</a><br /> <br /> is hosting 2 of the Mantra of Peace music compilation videos on their video page. <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.neilyoung.com/lwwtoday/lwwvideospage.html" target="_blank">http://www.neilyoung.com/lwwtoday/lwwvideospage.html</a><br /> <br /> There are 636 videos on the video chart.<br /> <br /> Nigel Potter's song, No More War (Upon The Green Earth) is currently charting at, 277 of 636 videos.<br /> <br /> Here is the link that will take you to You Tube where this video resides, via L.W.W. Today's web link for your consideration.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.neilyoung.com/lwwtoday/videolinks/videolink_635.html" target="_blank">http://www.neilyoung.com/lwwtoday/videolinks/videolink_635.html</a><br /> <br /> The reason I am providing the link for you all is because, every time<br /> the link is clicked, Nigel's video will register the "click" as a<br /> charting opportunity to rise up the charts even further. <br /> <br /> It would be most excellent if perhaps Nigel's video could rise into the top 100 or higher...<br /> <br /> The second song video that we are honoured to have included on Living<br /> With War Today's website is Maria Daines and Paul Killington's song,<br /> Peace Wins The Election.<br /> <br /> Currently the Peace Wins The Election video resides at 630 of 636 videos on the Living With War Today's video hosting web page.<br /> <br /> Here is the link that will take you to You Tube where this video resides, via L.W.W. Today's web link for your consideration.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.neilyoung.com/lwwtoday/videolinks/videolink_634.html" target="_blank">http://www.neilyoung.com/lwwtoday/videolinks/videolink_634.html</a><br /> <br /> The reason I am providing the link for you all is because, every time<br /> the link is clicked, Maria's video will register the "click" as a<br /> charting opportunity to rise up the charts even further. <br /> <br /> It would be most excellent if perhaps Maria's video could rise into the top 500 or higher...<br /> <br /> The reason why this is such a fantastic opportunity is due to the fact<br /> that if ever these videos made it into the top 10, the videos would be<br /> featured on the front page of Living With War Today's main website. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.neilyoung.com/lwwtoday/index.html" target="_blank">http://www.neilyoung.com/lwwtoday/index.html</a><br /> <br /> The top 10 videos appear on the left side of the web site under the heading, Protest Videos.<br /> <br /> Here my friends is an inkling of the community we share in the like<br /> mindedness of the want for peace, and, the freedom to express and<br /> expose the want of peace for all via artistic and creative means.<br /> <br /> Again, it is thanks to the musicians and this community for your<br /> friendship and support of getting the messages out to a wider platform<br /> of resonance.<br /> <br /> Peace, and may you and yours be blessed with love and peace always,<br /> <br /> Paul</p>

Any way I'll see you all at subway</span></span></span></p>
