My name is Robert Florescu, I am a 19 year old college student from Denver, and this is an original song composed and written by me with a small insert from Schubert's "Ave Maria." The lyrics are based on Obama's speeches and the New Generation's hopes. Sylvia Florescu, my mom, filmed the music video. My 10 year old sister Felicity Florescu and I performed the song and dance.

Let Us Rise is a new kind of group, a community that creates space for individuals, non-profits, congregations, local businesses, clubs, and other groups to work together to create a society rooted in love, personal responsibility, and democracy. We are doing this by coordinating the People's Campaign, where every one of you, and every organization, can participate in creating a positive vision for Colorado and the country. We will coalesce the results of our visioning into an independent People's Platform. You'll have a chance to give feedback on the Platform, adopt it, and participate in a democratic process to create a collective action plan to implement our vision.
