Rothbury Music Festival

I would like to thank everyone that help to put together the Rothbury Music Festival. I had an excellent time meeting and spending time with folks that were dedicated to bringing a cleaner greener economy to life in Michigan. I also enjoyed my time as a speaker and panelist on green job issues. Media from the event will be posted soon! Go Greenation!

Happy Birthday to Our Great Nation

Greenation would like to wish our Great Nation A Happy Birthday!!! As the Nation celebrates, we encourage everyone to reflect on the hard work and historical Ideologies that transformed our country into the symbol of Freedom that it has become. Though our economy is going through a very tough time, we must remember that it is not the riches that define America, it is the dedication and sacrifice that make us great. It is the blood and sweat of our ancestor's, the strong shoulder's of our working middle class, and the ideas of those whom educate themselves, and dare to rise up to the challenges of this world. HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA!!! We owe you. Our mission to create Social Equity, and a Sustainable Nation is dedicated in your name.

"Empower the People" Dialogue Weekly Conference Call

The United Administration of Greenation I would like to thank all of you that participated in last Sunday’s “Empower The People” dialogue. With this dialogue we were able to connect with people all across the state of Michigan and have a substantive unfiltered discussion about the most troubling problems that are facing Michigan during this economic downturn. Because of the great response to the call Greenation has decided to make this dialogue a weekly event. In order for these problems to truly be solved we must maintain this momentum. I challenge you all to invite someone new onto the call. In addition to that I have attached talking points on this message. If you all could have them read with critiques by this Sunday it would really help move the discussion forward. For those of you that were not able to make the call last Sunday I encourage you to participate this Sunday. We all realize the challenges that face urban communities in Michigan are enormous in stature. With the recent GM bankruptcy and Michigan’s unemployment rate at a devastating 12.9 percent things could never look so grim. Greenation realizes that no one group or organization can tackle these problems alone. It seems to us that a grassroots coalition of dedicated Michigan citizens like you will be needed to create that sustainable vision we would all like to see for the future. This is why we are seeking new partners in our mission. If you would like to make that first step toward bringing Michigan back to greatness please participate in this dialogue. It will be held every Sunday at 6 PM. Because we know that travel can be a hassle, we have decided to hold this dialogue over a conference call. The number to the conference call is 1-712-432-3100 and the dial in code is 253907. Please send me a RSVP to let me know that you can be on the call. For addition information about us checkout our blog, ourgreenation.blogspot.com or contact me directly. I hope to hear from very soon. Derrell Edward Slaughter
