		<description>The video was forwarded to me by a friend earlier but I just connected to your story and the 2nd performance.  I still get goosebumps to see such beautiful energy from any group of folks.   I have watched over and over and am still uplifted by this great gift to HOPE.   Thank you so much for the inspiration, talent, and intention to give this to us.
    Yes, even North Carolina finally saw the light!!</description>

		<description>Hey Portland, 

It's been a while since I've watched for the first time this song by will.i.am. And I should say, this is quite an amazing cover. And I shouldn't say cover, because it's more than just cover. 

You made it your way, and I had my share of gooseflesh. I just want to congratulate all of you for this amazing job. 

I 've watch other tunes from you on youtube, and you're good. Real good. 

Good luck along the road, yes, you did. 
Seb, France.</description>

		<description>Hi! I am doing a research paper on the influence of politics and civil rights on music, and I am using the original will.i.am song as one of my examples. The video is the reason that I formed that topic to research. I was glad to see that this video inspired others as much as it inspired me. You did a great job :)</description>

		<description>i really liked your rendition of "yes we can" u more than did it justice and shud rightly be very pround of your contribution and involvement in which was most probally one of the most important and critical elections of our generation. that said i do have to question would u have worn those pink pants had u of know how many people would go on to see it! but all jokes aside although im not american i did follow barack obama's election race with a close eye and read his ook and was fascinated at his ability to inspire and stir up emotion on many levels through is speaches, from his book he is able to communicate a complex message with great thought put into the subject matter and never comes across as irrelevant, he manages to interact with the reader with inteligence. the next 4 most likely 8 years will be interesting and i hope change comes to america

		<description>Thanks for you comment! 

I would agree that there are some organizations with vested interests; they now have financial/self preservation incentives to promote abortion. There are companies who would loose profits if they couldn't sell as much equipment related to abortion, and many doctors, nurses, hospitals, and insurance companies would have less work if they performed fewer abortions. Some large organizations would collapse if they reconsidered or moderated their stances on abortion, so they must promote abortion to survive. I would not call them Eugenics organizations, but perhaps you could call it an abortion industrial complex (akin to the military industrial complex that has aligned itself with big wars=selling more weapons=good business).

I also think you are right about the term alien to describe foreigners; it doesn�??t necessarily mean inhuman. My point was that I think sometimes we fail to treat foreign people with the full dignity and respect that every human soul deserves.

I happen to be Christian, and when I look to the Bible for direction it is clear that this ancient text doesn�??t give direct advice for every modern situation. So, when I think about how I should apply the great lessons I find in this text, I try to focus on the areas where I feel very certain. Personally, I�??m a lot less certain about the importance of a first trimester fetus than I am about a child or adult, one who can love and is loved, and who might be dying because they are hungry and can�??t find work.</description>

		<description>The unfortunate thing about sex-education and "reproductive health" education is that it's been thoroughly co-opted by Eugenics organizations, entities that have a vested interest in abortion, and pharmacological outfits who are more interested in business than the safety of their products/procedures.

I'd also like to point out that the word "alien" does not connote "non-human".  If it did, then the phrase "aliens from outer-space" or "space-aliens" would be redundant.
Thus, the term "illegal alien" does not mean "criminal space-creature".  It means "foreigner who is not legally accounted for".</description>

		<description>this was absolutely amazing. I think I watched this four times in a row with tears streaming down my face. Amercia.. we did it!!!!

The passion in this performance is beyond moving.. As I commented just now on this video on youtube, I would have been so proud to be any one of these kids parents watching this from the audience�?� but for now I�??ll settle for being overwhelmingly proud politically of my country for once in my lifetime.</description>
