Candle Lights Set to Rise In Commemoration of Hillary Clinton's Historic
Campaign will take place on the evening of August 25th from 6 until 10 p.m., in downtown Denver's Cheesman Park.
What makes this historical event special, isn't just that its named after the Maya Angelou's famous poem "Rise," but that it will also close with the lighting of candles to pay tribute to Hillary and all of her achievements, while also symbolically reigniting the flame to America's great Democracy and Lady Liberty's torch.
Hundreds of participants are expected to attend, and candles are planned to Rise across the nation, community by community in one harmonious gesture of participation. The Rise 2008 is being hosted by Rise International, a group of women whose common bond in supporting Hillary Clinton drew them together over the internet. While they haven't physically ever met, they have spent weeks on both the computer and over the phone in planning this entire event.
What started out as a great idea was just that -a great idea- until PUMA PAC, (People United Means Action), the group noted for their commitment to Hillary Clinton, agreed to sponsor The Rise, and now there's no looking back. Dr. Bledsoe has no doubt that this will be a marvelous occasion for everyone who has worked on behalf of Hillary Clinton, as well as all her supporters/fans who just believe and appreciate our Liberty and Democracy
will all have an opportunity to come together and enjoy an evening of festivities.
It's been a real journey to put this event together, but thanks to the tremendous support from The City of Denver and the real sense of neighborly care and concern from the various vendors, Dr. Bledsoe states that its seems like all we are really going to have to worry about is the weather.
This is a free event and all Hillary supporters/fans are welcome.
PumaPac activities in the park will begin at 2p.m. and run until 6 p.m. The Rise speakers and entertainment will begin at 7 p.m. and end at 10 p.m., with the national "Rise" candle salute to Hillary, Democracy and Lady Liberty to Kickoff in Cheesman Park at exactly 9:45 MDT.

You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may tread me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.
Rise, Hillary, Rise. ~ Maya Angelou
Still I Rise
You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I’ll rise.
Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
‘Cause I walk like I’ve got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.
Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I’ll rise.
Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops.
Weakened by my soulful cries.
Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don’t you take it awful hard
‘Cause I laugh like I’ve got gold mines
Diggin’ in my own back yard.
You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I’ll rise.
Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I’ve got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?
Out of the huts of history’s shame
I rise
Up from a past that’s rooted in pain
I rise
I’m a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.
