Average Joe Buckeye Blitz cont.<\/strong><\/em> We did a whistle-stop event in Chagrin Falls, Ohio today on a street corner overlooking the falls here. Beautiful sight. A reporter from the Chagrin Valley Times asked me about our platform. I noted that the upscale environment in Chagrin Falls might not be as ‘beautiful a sight,’ in respect to spiritual and social justice (id, post_author, post_date, post_content, post_title, post_category, post_excerpt, post_status, comment_status, ping_status, post_password, post_name,to_ping, pinged, post_modified) VALUES. That is, people here might want to consider that the next time they step into the new Lexus with all the options, or hop in a comfortable bed in their $300,000 (or more) home… “there’s a little child starving to death at the same moment somewhere in the Third World.” I also told the reporter that according to U.N. figures there are some 24,000 children (and adults) who starve to death in the World — every day. That, I said, should give us all pause… After the event, our children talked with photographer Itamar Gat, who had come to shoot our event. He’s from Israel and fascinated them with tales of riding camels in his youth in Israel. “No Joseph (our six-year-old), there is no camel riding in Ohio — that I know of,” I smiled… Tonight we journeyed across the state, not by a camel caravan, but rather by “Average Joe Mobile” caravan, to Bowling Green, Ohio. While having coffee with Liz in a cafe called “Grounds for Thought,” I was approached by a representatve of the local chapter of the: League of [Teed-Off] Voters. (They actually use other phraseology than ‘Teed-Off’). Shannon Morgillo told me the group is primarily made up of young adults who want to form a “voting block” for change. And they meet every week to stategize about doing just that. Bowling Green’s chapter currently has about 15 people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
