DNC sets mark for leadership?


In historic proportion, the 4 days in Denver have exposed leadership in America. The question will be: can leadership compete? Cutting taxes for 95% of the majority of America would be a great thing. How do you pay for the rise in food, gas, and health care? The oil addiction is a function of poor policy, misguided marketing and lacking leadership. Today leaves us with an opportunity to change the course of history. This is reflective of times past. Obama wants to waste time with nuclear energy, harness clean coal and support the established auto industry - per his evening speech at Invesco Field. Will the next convention lead to the same blind support of failed policies? If so, will our leadership end in the motorcycle diary that each American never expected to creep up on ourselves in a pure democratic and capitalist society? Invesco Field speech like MLKAs editor of a for profit company, taking a political position is easy: we believe in consumer choice first and political leaders second. Evaluate your election options carefully - as this campaign will lead you to an alternative that either will propel America to great heights or remain the butt of European, Asian and R.O.W. jokes. Consumer demand for a good is by far the fastest vote available in the American economy. Understanding what you see and buy is the core of not just your future but that of the intellectual age. "Hold firmly without wavier to the hope we cannot confess", Barack Obama reference to scripture.

The Second Coming for Art and Autos - DNC


As part of the Denver Democratic convention, GALLERY M's "Leaders and Their Followers" photography selling exhibit has tapped a great natural resource - Colorado leaders in the arts, economy and yes government policy. On Monday August 18th, a crowd of collectors gathered for a special evening with program manager for the State of Colorado's energy policy, Mr. Morey Wolfson. Wolfson, a 40 year expert in energy and environmental policy, detailed the great renewal underway in Colorado's rural communities specific to wind and other alternatives like solar, NG and even the trade off's of domestic oil and coal production. He pointed out that the heartland is already bustling with economic growth efforts set in place by multinational companies - Vestas, GE, and various sectors crucial to reducing the carbon footprint in Colorado and nationally. Does this mean the end of the car as we know it?
