For the new issue of Tikkun magazine, the editors "asked writers representing the breadth of the spiritual progressive movement to write memos to our new president...Together, these memos reflect the hopes and aspirations of what might be called the Religious and Spiritual Left in the U.S. at the beginning of 2009."
You can read Drew's "Memo to Obama" on p. 47.

what people are saying about drew
"Thomas Berry insisted on the over-arching importance of spreading the epic version of the universe story as our new creation myth, and Thomas insisted that we couldn't leave this vital work of cultural therapy to scientists but must enlist the artists, musicians and poets. Well Drew Dellinger was among the first to answer this call and certainly among the most talented and effective. I can't speak highly enough of the quality of both the work and his delivery."
- John Seed, rainforest activist and co-author of Thinking Like a Mountain

A fabulous performance this evening. I heard your message loud, clear, and curvaceous. I hope Obama hears it, too!
