OH, 5 MORE KILLED TODAY, OH, 200 MORE, OH SOME HOUSE BURNED TODAY, OH 250, 000 DISPLACED,OH NAIVASHA IS NOW VERY BAD, OH THIS IS NEVER GONNA END, OH KENYA IS GROWING WORSE, OH ALL WE CAN DO IS PRAY FOR PEACE.

THESE ARE THE LAME TALKS I AM HEARING FROM KENYANS IN AMERICA I HAVE SPOKEN WITH. HAVE YOU DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT????? WHAT ACTION ARE YOU TAKING??? I KNOW U ARE CALLING AND SENDING MONEY TO UR FAMILY.. WHAT ABOUT THOSE KENYANS WHO DONT HAVE FAMILIES ABROAD TO SEND THEM MONEY?? THIS IS AN URGE FOR KENYANS TO TAKE ACTION TOWARDS SAVING LIVES OF POOR INNOCENT BLOOD THAT ARE STILL ALIVE.

DON'T SAVE KENYA, SAVE THE PEOPLE.

THE REST OF THE WORLD IS GETTING ENTERTAINED, SORRY, EVEN SOME OF US KENYANS ABOUT THE SAD NEWS IN KENYA. THEY SEE IT AS PART OF THE DRAMA USED IN THE NEWS TO MAKE MONEY. IT'S AN EXCUSE TO TALK WITH YOUR ENEMIES ABOUT THE VIOLENCE, YOU HAVE A TOPIC TO TALK ABOUT. BUT WHAT ARE WE DOING?? WHAT ACTION ARE WE TAKING AS KENYANS? DOES IT STILL SOUND LIKE A MOVIE TO YOU COZ ALL YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS ARE SAFE IN A HOUSE YOU BUILT FOR THEM IN ATHI RIVER?

REPORTERS HAVE JOBS, THE PHONE COMPANY AM SURE IS BOOMING COZ ALL KENYANS HAVE TO CALL EVERY SECOND TO MAKE SURE THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS ARE OK. WE READ THE NEWS AND GET ENTERTAINED BY HOW THINGS ARE BAD IN KENYA AND HOW SO MANY PEOPLE ARE LOSING THEIR LIVES AND ALL WE SAY IS THAT WE ARE PRAYING FOR PEACE IN KENYA. DON'T GET ME WRONG, I AM A CHRISTIAN AND I BELIEVE IN THE POWERFUL POWER OF PRAYER BUT I AM THINKING PRAYER ALONE IS NOT ENOUGH MY FELLOW KENYANS.

MY OWN FAMILY MEMBER HAS BEEN A VICTIM IN THIS VIOLENCE AND WHEN IT HITS YOU DIRECTLY IS WHEN YOU CAN KNOW HOW THIS IS NOT FUNNY.  THIS IS NOT A JOKE AND THIS IS NOT DRAMA. PEOPLE ARE TALKING OF CIVIL WAR IN KENYA.. EVEN IN SIAYA, THERE ARE MUNGIKI NOW THAT HAVE BEEN ORDERED TO KILL LUOS.

THE KILLING OF MUGABE WERE IS DEFINATELY WORSENING STUFF AND WE ALL KNOW AND IT'S VERY OBVIOUS THAT THIS WAS 100% PURELY POLITICAL. THE POLICE TAKING IT AS MURDER ARE FOOLS .

LET'S ACT.

THESE ARE SOME OF THE WAYS THAT I HAVE PERSONALLY THOUGHT WE CAN GET INVOLVED. IF YOU HAVE MORE IDEAS, PLEASE SHARE.

1. KENYANS IN AMERICA SHOULD CALL IMMIGRATION SERVICES AND URGE THEM TO ACCEPT AND ISSUE TEMPORARY REFUGEE STATUS TO KENYANS SO THEY CAN SAVE THEIR LIVES. I KNOW YOU ARE NOW LAUGHING AND SAYING IT'S IMPOSSIBLE, YES IT IS VERY POSSIBLE. THE US CAN AND WILLL GRANT REFUGEE STATUS TO KENYANS IF WE REQUEST. YOU HAVEN'T DONE THAT SO SHUT UP YOU DOUBTING THOMAS.

2. EMAIL THE OPRAH SHOW------ WWW.OPRAH.COM THEN GO TO EMAIL US AND LET'S URGE OPRAH TO AIR THIS VIOLENCE ISSUE.  OPRAH SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT I--IT ABOUT THE SAVING OF LIVES.

3. RUN A TV COMMERCIAL ON KENYAN VIOLENCE AND GIVE A WAY FOR PEOPLE TO DONATE MONEY THAT CAN BE USED TO FLY THE INNOCENT LIVES OUT OF THE COUNTRY

4. CALL PRESIDENT BUSH WHITE HOUSE AND URGE HIM TO HELP SAVE THE LIVES COZ IT SEEMS VIOLENCE WON'T STOP. THEY CAN EITHER TAKE THE GOVERMENT SIDE OUT OF THE COUNTRY COMPLETELY OR THE OPPOSITION SIDE.

5. USE THE BIG UNIVERSITIES. KENYAN STUDENTS WHO ARE CURRENTLY ENROLLED IN AMERICAN UNIVERSITIES SHOULD PUT PRESSURE ON THEIR INSTITUITIONS THAT THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS ARE NOT SAFE AND INSIST THAT THE UNIVERSITIES MUST SEND PLANES TO RESCUE THE LIVES OF KENYANS. ALL THE UNIVERSITIES NEED IS PUBLICITY. THEY WOULD BE PROUD TO SAY THEY SAVED THE LIVES OF KENYANS

AMONG OTHERS, LET'S UNITE AND DO SOMETHING. PRAYING IS VERY GOOD BUT ITS NOT ENOUGH, LET'S INVOLVE OURSELVES AND LET'S HELP SAVE THE INNOCENT LIVES THAT ARE STILLL LEFT.

I READ KENYAN NEWS EVERY 10 MINUTES AND ALL I SEE IS - DEATH POLL RISES, MORE KILLED, KENYAN VIOLENCE WORSENS. CANT WE DO SOMETHING???????

ARE WE GONNA SIT COMFORTABLY HERE COZ WE ARE IN AMERICA AND WATCH PEOPLE DIE, EVEN IF THEY ARE NOT YOUR RELATIVES, HELLOOO?? PLEASE KENYANS, LET'S TAKE ACTION AND TAKE THE BUSINESS AWAY FROM THE MEDIA.

YOU CAN ALSO TRY CONTACTING OTHER MEDIA OUTLETS EG ABC. NBC, NAME IT ALSO POPULAR PEOPLE LIKE TYRA BANKS, LARRY KING LIVE, DR PHIL. WE HAVE A SOLUTION HERE IN AMERICA. I STRONGLYT BEIEVE THAT WE SHOULD DO SOMETHING.

YOU AS A KENYAN CITIZEN CANNOT BE WAKING UP, EATING, GOING TO WORK, READING NEWS AND SIMPLY CALLING YOUR FRIENDS AND SAYING " KENYA RACH" , KENYA IS GROWING WORSE, THE SITUATION IS REALLY BAD. YOU CAN'T KEEP ON THINKING ABOUT THE SAFETY OF YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS ONLY .

MANY KENYANS, ME INCLUDED JUST BUY A CALLING CARD, CALL THEIR FAMILY, SEND MONEY TO THEN AND IF THEY ARE OK, EVRYTHING IS COOL. WHAT ABOUT THOSE FAMILIES WHO DONT HAVE THEIR PEOPLE IN AMERICA???  WHO IS GONNA SEE THAT THEY ARE OK???

YOU CAN CALL ME AT 310-428-1645 IF YOU ARE READY TO TAKE ACTION AND WORK TOGETHER TO SAVE ATLEAST SOME LIVES.

AGAIN. THIS IS NOT FUNNY.

PLEASE KENYANS, I COULD WRITE FOR DAYS ABOUT THIS. IN SHORT, WE SHOULD TAKE ACTION AND TAKE THIS DRAMA BUSINESS AWAY FROM THE MEDIA.

THANKS A LOT,
