TAKE BACK THE MIC!!

SO FOLLOWING MY BLOG POST BELOW I E-MAILED DERRICK ASHONG TO TELL HIM HOW FABULOUS I THOUGHT HE WAS AND HE SENT BACK THIS RESPONSE:

Hi Alyson,

Just checked out your blog! That is so great. Thanks a million for sharing the message and for also sending me those positive vibes back. :) It really is incredible how much the word has spread and how FAST!

Since so many people are paying attention all-of-a-sudden my vision is to hopefully get more people involved in the dialogue. ;) We're having a competition to try and do just that. Check out the latest video:



If you know other young people w/ something to say on these issues, ask them to submit their own video as part of the competition. Rules are at www.takebackthemic.com. And given that you're already rockin' the blogosphere we would love to hear from YOU! :)

Peace,
D.N.A

I CANT BELIEVE THAT HE TOOK TIME OUT OF HIS RIDICULOUS SCHEDULE TO WRITE ME ANYTHING, BUT BEING THE CLASS ACT THAT HE IS, HE DID!!

SO I ENCOURAGE ALL OF YOU TO GO TO THE TAKE BACK THE MIC WEBSITE AND READ UP ON DERRICK'S VISION. THE CONTEST HE MENTIONS ABOVE IS ALSO VERY EXCITING!!

I AM JUST SO COMPLETELY IMPRESSED WITH THIS GUY. I THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE!!

XOXO,
BAXTER

OUT OF MANY ONE.

A BARRAGE OF QUESTIONS THAT WOULD HAVE THROWN MANY OFF THEIR MARK, IF THEY HAD A MARK TO BEGIN WITH...

A TRUE AND HONEST VOICE IN AMERICA. JUST ONE SMALL BUT INSPIRING VOICE FROM A MAN WHOM I SUSPECT WILL HAVE AN IMPACT FOR YEARS AND YEARS TO COME...

JUST A MAN, INTERVIEWED ON A CHAOTIC STREET OUTSIDE OF THE CLINTON/OBAMA DEBATE IN L.A. WHO HAS NOW RISEN TO THE RANKS OF
WRITING AN EDITORIAL ON THE FRONT PAGE OF CNN'S WEBSITE TODAY...

I PRESENT TO YOU, DERRICK ASHONG.

THE PERSON



THE INTERVIEW



THE RESPONSE



THE SOUL



I HOPE THAT I AM NOT SO NAIVE TO HOPE THAT THIS MAN WILL RUN FOR OFFICE SOMEDAY. I DON'T CARE WHAT OFFICE, WHAT TIME, WHAT CIRCUMSTANCE...

THIS MAN HAS A VOICE THAT NOT ONLY NEEDS TO, BUT MUST BE HEARD.

OUT OF MANY ONE.

XOXO,
STILL BELIEVING BAXTER
