Calvin Jennings shows that strong independent streak that insists upon doing the right thing that made the United States of America a great country. Calvin Jennings proves that being peaceful and caring for animals does not require a meeting or a movement. He just does it because it seems to him to be the obvious thing to do.
That seems to be the hardest thing to understand.
It all seems so straightforward to many of us. Then there are those other people, too many of whom seem to end up as politicians, who come up with all sorts of secret or confusing justifications for war and violence.
We The People elected our representatives with a clear mandate. And our representatives have ignored that mandate.
Over and over, good people like Calvin Jennings have called for peace and harmony with our environment and still it seems the good people, We The People of the United States of America, have not been heard.
Or perhaps you have just been ignored.
That is why “A Peaceful Solution” needs to be performed at every occasion. That is why videos of “A Peaceful Solution” need to be shown everywhere.
And that is why we will write up everyone who performs it or makes a video with it, like Calvin Jennings did.
* * * * Artist’s Statement * * * * *
I am passionate about creating peace because that’s what our creator intended. Besides, it’s a decent thing to do. I have been working for peace all of my life, and though it took different forms at times, I always felt the call of the Spirit.
I first became interested in the environment growing up and being taught to hunt. They laughed at me when I would care for an injured animal I ran across, which just inspired me to care for animals all the more.
My dog gave its life protecting me from a violent alcoholic dad when I was five.
My pet dogs have saved my life twice after that incident.
When I was old enough to get out on my own, I maintained a strong bond with all animals, and rarely had problems with wild animals coming up to me in a friendly manner.
I lived in an area where people dropped off animals frequently, and I would find them, nurse them back to health, and give them a good home.
I despise people who hunt for trophy, especially when they take antlers and discard the meat that at least could have gone to feed someone hungry.
I got a job working for Amoco Oil and got to see up close what they were doing to the environment. I thought I could help there by thinking of ways that would protect the environment while increasing profit.
I learned how the oil companies buy up patents and destroy them anytime it would provide a cheaper source of energy, had to listen to Amoco Oil’s CEO brag about how he caused the Iran hostage crisis because they “screwed” the Iranians, and grew to despise what I was doing more and more each day.
I longed to work with music.
God/Christ has always been number 1 in my life, and will continue to be until my Spirit leaves this plane.
I’m a Son of God, a Peacemaker.
I love people who are aware of the environment and the Spirit, no matter what they call God. When the animals can no longer survive on this earth, how are we to?
If we don’t care for one another, be compassionate toward one another, stop being violent toward one another, stop trying to get richer than one another, what’s the use of living anyway?
Art is the most peaceful weapon I can think of,
whether it is visual or musical.
It’s time to correct the problems we’ve created, and prevent those who want to continue their evil from destroying everything.
Love, Hope, Peace, & Christ Be With You,
Cal-el & Swissy
