We hope this finds you all well in your respective niches of the World.  Last Friday, July 4th, we had the first AYC Community Event.  Held at the park located in front of AYC, it included aikido demonstrations, a One Love Theater performance, several talented youth musicans and Fikat Circus from Addis Ababa.   Despite torrential rains and power outages over 1,000 people attended the 3-hour event!!!!  The following photos give an idea what it takes to make something like this happen.  Hopefully soon we should have some photos of the show.  For now, enjoy...







One Love, One Fight.

      With our economy going into a slump, why is it that political figures are destroying valid financial options? Payday loans are an essential part of the U.S. financial system, providing loans to those who have bad or no credit that need the money fast. Yet, for one reason or another, legislators are targeting this financial system. Some states, such as Georgia and North Carolina, have even banned the industry all together! The politics behind it is simple; banks are lobbying the legislators to try and destroy their oncoming competition, and the legislators are falling for it. Even taking out the fact that banks are trying to take away your financial choices and freedoms so they can have a monopoly on loans, the corruption of our politics is simply wrong. Our opinions must be heard, and our freedom of choice, financial or not, should not be dampened on the soul fact on one person's financial gain.

      You should always have all of the facts before you make any type of decision, especially in an instance when you take a course of action based on those misinformed facts. The pros and cons of payday loans, and what the future holds for the industry often can fall victim to this. Some politicians from both parties are attempting to pass legislation that would restrict or take away your ability to get a Payday">http://personalmoneystore.com">Payday Loans Unfortunately, some of these politicians have succeeded in passing their legislation. . Some politicians have even gone as far as outlawing the industry all together. Many of these laws are based on the assumption that payday lenders are run under the same ethics as illegal loan sharks. Please don’t be misinformed on the facts, follow facts and not opinions and statements based on assumption

      The great French political philosopher, Alexis de Tocqueville, once said, “The surface of American society is covered with a layer of democratic paint, but from time to time one can see the old aristocratic colors breaking through.” That quote was uttered several decades ago, but it definitely seems as if, during this election cycle, it’s been ringing true nationwide. In this case, we have elected officials and hopefuls who, for some reason or another, at least claim to believe that cash advances are detrimental to the American people. With this in mind, some of them have gone so far as to propose measures that would knock the entire industry out of certain states, or even America! Governor Ted Strickland, of Ohio, is one of these people, whose new law, if passed, would knock the industry out and send 6,000 of his people to the unemployment line. What’s worse, both current Presidential hopefuls, Barack Obama and John McCain supported a bill that ultimately banned payday loans to military personnel. Furthermore, Obama has come out in support of measures that would make it impossible for these short term lenders to continue operating. An aristocracy is one where one ruling class makes decisions on behalf of everyone else. Let’s just hope that those old aristocratic colors don’t bleed through when deciding the fate of payday loans.

      If you think that the Phillies are the only news item in Pennsylvania, then think again. John McCain and Barack Obama are both braving the rain that caused the first World Series game to be called in 86 years. However, the prize the two candidates vie for is not sports or baseball glory; this contest is for the Presidency of the United States. Morning rallies by McCain and Palin in Hershey, and Obama, sans Biden, at Widener University in Philadelphia were attended by thousands. McCain and Palin maintain a plan of attack, and that polls are meaningless. Obama contends that McCain will bring nothing but four more years of the same, just another George W. Bush with a different face and name. Those of us who have ever needed quick loans may not experience too much discomfort with that, because it just might mean we will preserve our freedom of financial choice. A Democratic president and congress might not just afford us the same opportunity.

      When I was a kid, there were few things I looked forward to more than Halloween trick-or-treating. My sweet tooth knew no bounds when it came to that all-night - and day, and the next day – candy bacchanalia. It was candy carnival, drums thumping, dancers shaking, feathers and fireworks filling the sky with molted flame. When I say that I had a sweet tooth, I do not exaggerate. If a candy was sour, I couldn’t hang. I was – and I still am – a chocolate fiend. Leave it to me to drop jaw and prove Magellan wrong, because if the world were made of chocolate, I’d munch it flat. However, my Halloween routine had nothing on the Trick-or-Treater’s coding system these folks in Sacramento, California created. They have a chalk-marking system where the kids leave codes for each other in chalk at the foot of the driveway telling the other kids everything from, "no one home" to "full size candy bars" and even "mean dog." With those kinds of clear signals, I would have saved my parents and myself a lot of time. I wish that families who were facing temporarily rough financial times back then would have considered timely personal loans to help them score some good chocolates and candy bars. They’re affordable and easy to pay back over time. In fact, they’d have paid off their loan before I even finished all the candy in my bag!

      The presidential candidates have different strategies on how to get the people’s sympathy. The 2008 US Election is one of the biggest events that has happened in this year, in other words it draws a historic moment. Election Day has come and passed, and America has chosen Barack Obama and the prospect of change in the USA. It is obvious that change is going to come, but the question is going to be whether or not that change is for good or ill. America believes that he will bring a good change to this country. Obama has promised many things, such as lower taxes on the middle class, a timeline for withdrawal from Iraq, and a “line by line” trim of the federal budget. What many people do not know is that Obama is for the eradication of the payday loan industry. He believes that eliminating the industry will be a protective measure for low income families and minorities, by protecting them from predatory lenders, which would only really be protecting America from freedom of choice in our finances. Obama may be bringing change, but hopefully not change from the freedom of payday loans as an alternative with dealing with the banks and credit card companies that got us into the mess we got into in the first place.
