The Promise of Tomorrow Begins With Us….

At noon on January 20, 2009 our President elect Barack Obama will take the oath of office to be our President.  This day holds the promise of a new opportunity to have our voices heard.  A challenge has been posed to us all, to take a role in our nation, speak up, act and stand for something.

            The challenges that await us in this coming year are vast, but the solutions can come from all of us.  It’s about changing the current mindset; thinking outside the box and making dreams become reality.  Bedford Heights, Ohio, a suburb of Cleveland was hard hit by the outsourcing of manufacturing, as many US towns have been.  A manufacturing plant, Cardinal Fastener & Specialty Co. was the site of an interview with President-elect, Barack Obama.  Innovation and a vision of the changing needs of our country allowed this manufacturing plant to be transformed into one in which parts for wind turbines are manufactured with American steel, and American workers.  As our economy continues to falter, our ideals and visions of a cleaner, more energy independent future can come to fruition as we invest in sustainable energy sources.  A proposed 8 billion dollars have been allotted for renewable energy projects.

            Let our voices be heard as our new President seeks to hear them.  We at Beyond Petro want to send our sincere congratulations to our new President Barack Obama, and challenge you to speak up.  Remember as Confucius said, “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.”  Let us all take a step to a more prosperous and exciting future Beyond Petro.
