I'm a Born Again American

Caution: If you listen to this more than once, it will be yours for life. And you'll be glad you listened!



Norman Lear and Keith Carradine have collaborated to bring this new anthem for Americans. They have built a website that asks us to sign on, to be educated about issues, and to volunteer in ways to build a stronger, healthy nation. Count me in!

It's worth the time to go to "About Us" to read the brief stories and biographies of the Americans who performed in this video.

One of the most inspirational settings is at Mount Rushmore where Patti Linsky, Cantor for Temple Ahavat Shalom, sings with Islamic Center's Mu’azzin (Caller to prayer) Benyoucef. Now that's American!

For those of us, like me, who need to see the words, go to the Born Again American website and click on "Read the Words".

Thanks to Rev. Susan Russell at her Inch At A Time blog for sharing this. She is justifiably proud of All Saints' (Pasadena CA) choir's participation!
