Hello.
6:00:41
My name is Sharon Brown.
6:00:43
And before I begin, remember Israel released the hostages, let Yahweh's people go, defend Israel.
6:00:54
Okay.
6:00:55
We need to make sure that we fund libraries and build more libraries, and this is a twenty four hour city.
6:01:03
We have to do something about the twenty four hour status.
6:01:07
So, we have to have arts and things like that that go around the clock not twenty four hours consecutively, but we have to have something going on to live up to our name in the arts department.
6:01:22
We also need to add the Judaism and Christianity, Christian music, and different things in the mix into that.
6:01:31
So the Judaism and Christianity, we need to add the psalms from the bible.
6:01:37
They can sing the psalms and do all kind of plays for the holidays.
6:01:42
There are many Jewish holidays, many Christian holidays.
6:01:45
We can have the arts get together and do something for that around those clock hours.
6:01:52
So, for the twenty four hours, if they have something in the mornings and then sometimes in the evenings, or have a special programming at libraries, at cultural centers, museums,

they

can do things concerning the Jewish and Christian community.
6:02:08
We have music, we have arts, we have plays and movies and things that we can screen.
6:02:15
We have a lot of Jewish and Christian movies that have come out now, so we can have that put into the mix screened at libraries, screened at museums, Christian paintings, and we need to get Christianity and Judaism back in the mix.
6:02:32
We are currently putting the bible back into schools, and it's already implemented in Oklahoma, and we need to make sure that we're putting it in the arts as well.
6:02:44
Thank you.
