The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has already been Gates says his foundation has devoted $2 billion to help poor farmers boost their productivity. But the annual letter is a public way to set the priorities for the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the world’s largest charitable foundation with a $36 billion endowment. Most of the $25 billion the foundation has given away so far has been devoted to public health, with $6 billion focused on vaccines, including the polio effort.

America’s richest man says that it is a terrible irony that most of the billion people, 15% of the world population, who live in extreme poverty and must worry about where they will get their next meal are suffering on farms. He says that the world needs to repeat the “Green Revolution” of the 1960s and 1970s, when new farming technologies, including new seed varieties of rice, wheat, and corn, increased the amount of food available and decreased its price.

Who Are the Seraphim? The Seraphim in the Bible
The prophet Isaiah tells us that the seraphim are six-winged “fiery” angels who surround God as He sits upon His exalted throne and who worship God continually (Isaiah 6). The seraphim also minister to the Lord and serve as His agents of purification, as demonstrated by their cleansing of Isaiah’s sins before he began his prophetic ministry.

Seraphim Wings: Their Meaning and Significance
Each of the seraphim is described as having six wings: two wings used to cover their face, two wings used to cover their feet, and the remaining two used to fly. They cannot be detected by anyone!

Stealth aircraft are designed to avoid detection using a variety of technologies that reduce reflection/emission of radar, infrared, visible light, radio frequency (RF) spectrum, and audio, collectively known as stealth technology. The F-117 Nighthawk was the first operational aircraft specifically designed around stealth technology. Other examples of stealth aircraft include the B-2 Spirit, the F-22 Raptor, the F-35 Lightning II, the Chengdu J-20,[5] and the Sukhoi Su-57.

What is the work of Angel Seraphim?
Seraph, plural seraphim, in Jewish, Christian, and Islamic literature, celestial being variously described as having two or three pairs of wings and serving as a throne guardian of God.

Demand Recognition for Positive Figures in History

Across the country we recognize important, famous and influential individuals who have shaped our society. We have renamed streets and highways to recognize their contributions to our communities and country. There are streets named for Mark Hamill, Rihanna, Bob Hope, Beyonce, Betty White and Hugh Hefner. Why do we limit this recognition to secular figures and celebrities?

Recognize Values

Centuries ago, we understood the value of faith to our society and citizens. Religious freedom was a promise made by our founding fathers. It is time to demand a return to this value.

Honor a Martyr

John the Baptist publicly criticized the moral failings of a King. He spoke truth to power. Despite the danger, he maintained his values and stood as an honorable man no matter the cost.

Remember the Message

John the Baptist called for people to recognize their wrongdoing and express remorse for their failings. This message speaks to us as a nation even today and is a reminder of the work ahead of us.

Why John the Baptist?

John the Baptist is a significant individual to Christians of all denominations. His message was for all to hear, regardless of wealth or status. John the Baptist spoke of better things to come. He called for all mankind to reflect on their wrongdoings and shortcomings and strive to do better and be better.

A Martyr for Speaking Truth

Even in his final days, John the Baptist stood by his moral principles and spoke truth to power. He died a martyr for his cause at the hands of a corrupt leader. John the Baptist gave his life for what he knew in his heart to be true and moral, no matter what the cost.

A History to be Proud Of

Right now, communities across the country are struggling with the morality of our nation’s history and the way that manifests in our culture today. John the Baptist is a symbolic figure for washing away sins and repenting. He also calls us, even today, to do better in our daily lives.

Many cities are already revisiting the names of schools, streets and other prominent sites that feature names associated with racism and oppression. We believe John the Baptist Boulevard should be considered as an option during these renaming discussions. STAND WITH US

Reservation of Seclusion

“From the time of their first contact with European settlers, the American Indians have been oppressed and brutalized, deprived of their ancestral lands and denied the opportunity to control their own destiny,” President Nixon wrote to Congress on July 8, 1970. “Even the Federal programs which are intended to meet their needs have proven to be ineffective and demeaning.” This is an entire race the former President is referring to, millions of people native to the Americas; yet they are the most oppressed. In most instances Native Americans on reservations have it worse than any 3^rd world country.

Outside of the reservations, Natives are looked down upon. When was the last time you saw a full blooded Cherokee Indian at the mall. Life outside of the reservation is a life of chastisement. Naturally, most natives would rather stay with their family, stay where they feel secure, stay with their heritage lay. Day by day the right of Indians on reservations gets cut down. The government feels the need to dictate and coordinate almost every aspect of life on the reservations. Religious activities get banned because they are deemed acts of war or offensive to the outside world. Little to no efforts has been made to loosen the belt the government has put on reservation.

It wasn’t until 1994 that a law signed by President Clinton exempted the religious use of peyote from federal and state controlled substance laws and prohibited discrimination against those who engage in the use of peyote for religious purposes. Although this protected Native Americans’ use of peyote, the fight to protect other areas of religious freedom continues. Voting rights for Native Americans have been questioned and shrugged off by the government for decades. Other more inappropriate discriminating items are the use of offensive mascots by schools and professional sports teams. These portrayals are outdated stereotypes and perpetuate racism against the savage Native Americans. These problems are still only trivial when it comes to other issues plaguing those who stay on the reservations.

The “Digital Divide” is a major area of concern for Native Americans – Many tribes have yet to be connected to basic telephone networks and are thus unable to access the Internet, they are at risk of falling even further behind in their ability to access employment, educational, and other opportunities made available by information technology. We have the highest level of poverty, infant mortality, unemployment, and low high school completion rates, yet their spirits and connection to their culture knows no equal. The government needs to stop the oppression.

I would to one day see an Native American run for President of the United States. The only noteworthy person of Indian descent whom you have probably never heard of was the 31^st Vice-President of the United States, Charles Curtis. Curtis served as a U.S. Representative and elected as a United States Senator born in Kansas territory rather than the state. His mother was of the Kaw Nation, and he is the only embodiment of a Native American making their way up the political ladder. Why is this group not more represented in the political system?

There have been few individuals of Indian descent to hold office in the Senate. Most of which their tribal ancestry is swept under the rug and kept in the closet to not discourage voters. Currently serving  there is only two Native Americans holding a seat in the 114^th Congress, Thomas Cole of the Chickasaw Nation and Markwayne Mullin of the Cherokee Nation. There are 435 seats in the House of Representatives and 100 seats in the Senate. There are roughly 5.4 million Native Americans in the United States, 326 established reservations, 566 tribes, and 2 representatives that speak on their behalf. Where is the fairness in these numbers? Where is the representation of 2% of the population? Why does the Native American not have a bigger presents in the political arena? Funding perhaps, maybe there is no big name firms willing to back an Indian candidate? Fear of the “red man’s” agenda, maybe? Either way, the scales are unbalanced, and the winds of change need to blow.

This conundrum is almost a double standard. If you register with a tribe, and live on the reservation, those reservations are viewed as sovereign nations. As a sovereign nation you are not allowed a voice and in most instances deprived a vote when it comes to politics. Throughout the year President have invited tribal council leaders to the White House to discuss matter that affect them, but this is all pomp and circumstance. It may as well be a dog and pony show in the oval office because nothing ever gets truly resolved.

We need a better presence in this field. We need to let our voices be heard. We need to raise the hard questions to the government. Why is it that the nation average income for a Native American family is $37,227 when the nation as a whole averages an income of $53,657? Why is it the case that most of the Indian Nation is living in not only poverty but also lack health coverage? Almost a quarter of the whole American Indian population does not have health insurance and cannot afford to be seen by a traditional doctor. What is being done about this? Why are these facts not in the news? The answer is simple, because the Native American race as a whole is being oppressed but the government. Our heritage needs to be preserved; with the government taking our land, our traditions and the heart and soul of our nations, pretty soon we too will go the way of the buffalo. If we do not gain the respect and representation in Congress and the political arena as a whole our entire way of life will be near extinction.
