White House, Washington

Celebrate The White House!

A recent visit to the White House was not my first, and when I returned, my Lovemarks newsletter was in my email box. I thought: "I’m going to go to the site and see if the White House is among the Lovemarks, and if not, I will nominate. This nomination should not take much explanation. We love Freedom, we love Government by the People, we love a thing that has endured and remained beautiful to the eyes and to the heart. The White House is all that and much more. I am American, so to me, it is part of me, and it enhances my identity. I am better because the White House exists. Its Passion, Power, failings, winnings, triumphs, disasters and most of all, the jubilant life it has fostered and witnessed, in pristine beauty and endurance: a silent witness that sings and speaks more eloquently than any other. The White House. If you still wonder: imagine no White House. Then you might want to vote it among the leaders in the Lovemarks list. If more of us remembered to be not afraid to experience and share and express and teach true love of country and its symbols, we could not possibly have suffered a 9/11 to begin with. I hope this nomination will make it easier for us all to Love one of the World’s best Lovemarks and Celebrate The White House!
