Rev. Gilbert H. Caldwell: Words Matter
PHOTO: Can You Spot An Obama?
Last night, I booked my flight to Washington, DC so that I will be in place for President-elect Barack Obama's inauguration. I don't have tickets to any events yet, but to be present for such a momentous occasion is irresistible. To top it all off, I am from D.C. and my mom still lives there. There is no way I would allow her to have all the fun to herself.
Tickets for the inauguration ARE FREE and are being distributed by each congressional office on a first come first served basis. You must CALL THE OFFICE and request one or two tickets. Please note that many offices around the country have already closed their lists.
You can find out who your congressional representative is by clicking this link.
If you need to find out you Zip + 4 click on this link.The Seattle Post Intelligencer has a great article entitled: 'Want to go to Obama's inauguration? 5 things you need to know':
Keep an eye out for ticket scams, like this site. Scam!I will call today. Hope to see you there!
McAlvanah forwarded a press release from the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies warning residents nationwide to be wary of rogue Web sites that claim to have inaugural tickets. They don't. The committee assures all tickets for the swearing-in ceremony a) will be distributed by congressional offices b) won't be available for in-person pickup until a week before the ceremony and c) will be free. The press release didn't name any scam site already out there, but if you see anything that looks too easy, it probably is.

I just wanted to suggest something for the inauguration, but had no idea who to contact. The "Ministry of Song", would be: Victory by Yolanda Adams, and I Am Changing by Jennifer Hudson, as these 2 songs demonstrate that YES! He has the victory in Jesus, as well as "Things/We are changing, but we do need a Hand (from the people and the LORD).
Thank you for this opportunity to express somewhere in OUR world.
Respectfully submitted.

Who is this sweetpea who doesn't know what he is talking about. We have black history all thru the bible and he will come from the east. We are in our last days and time true but he will not come until all he said has come to pass. Black will be restored to their rightful position and not everyone will make it. They might have some more tickets and might not but that doesn't have to stop you from going or watching it on tv. But it's nothing like being there.
