Remember to Look Up, To Your Potential. Dear randall: We have shrinking civil liberties, we have undue monied influence, and we have domestic surveillance. So, at what point do the American people say, No More!? We need a peoples movement. Marianne Williamson, CA-33 candidate for Congress, is in a close race tomorrow, and Im hoping that you will provide her some last-minute support. Heres why. Its exceedingly difficult to get any real feel of how a candidate thinks, much less what he or she will do in office. Most serious candidates know their lines, and they always have their game face on. So sometimes - often, really - we get fooled. We mistake the resume for the heart. We mistake the record for the soul. We mistake the words for the meaning. In the case of Marianne Williamson, that is not possible. What you see is what you get. Several people in public life have written books. A smaller number have actually read books. And an even smaller number have actually written the books that list them as authors. These books tend to be extended exercises in rationalization. I did this, I did that, and the world should be absolutely delighted with me. As if. Marianne Williamson has written many books - four of them #1 best-sellers on the New York Times list - and her books arent like that. In fact, her books arent about her at all. They are an extended discussion about the human condition, about us, and how we can be all that we can be. Here are some very brief excerpts: Children are happy because they dont have a file in their minds called All the Things That Could Go Wrong. Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really are. Love is what we are born with. Fear is what we learned here. No one will listen to us until we listen to ourselves. You playing small doesnt serve the world. Its your time to sparkle. We need less posturing and more genuine charisma. Its about a sparkle in people that money cant buy. There is no peace without forgiveness. Never give up hope. When darkness falls, the stars come out. Life isnt about waiting for the storm to pass. Its about learning to dance in the rain. In every community, there is work to be done. In every nation, there are wounds to heal. In every heart, there is the power to do it. Why am I telling you this? Marianne Williamson can explain that, too: People hear you on the level that you speak to them from. Speak from your heart, and they will hear with theirs. If you heart hears what Marianne Williams is speaking, please support her before her primary tomorrow. Because we need more true leaders in Congress. Courage, Rep. Alan Grayson Each of us has a unique part to play in the healing of the world. - Marianne Williamson Paid for and Authorized by the Committee to Elect Alan Grayson If you do not wish to receive further email from Congressman Grayson, please click here to unsubscribe. cl.exct.net/?qs=b2418d82a8cd1ceeb4481b07393c761d5d8ec03da6fd9717664bfc991b5db50e
