Enjoyed post and site

This morning I found this site and this is the first post I have read. I enjoyed it much and felt plenty inspired. Mostly I an encouraged to find those standing on ideas and principles akin to my own.

According to Javier, ideology does not matter, the differences between people do not matter. “What unites us is the heart to return the dream to this nation. At the heart of it, everything depends on whether we keep loving the poetic word, listening to the heart, to the deep human within, listening to what life is, and forget about the ideological differences or that political differences or those between the political parties. The human being and the human heart have to be the reference point, no matter where it comes from.”

Many thanks to all in this struggle and those who make this possible. I hope and intend my involvement to grow.
