Left Page: "AMERICAN LOVE PROJECT WE WANT YOU! Enlist Here Today: TheAmericanLOVEproject.org 29 PIECES"
Right Page: "AMERICAN LOVE PROJECT 29 Pieces Four Pillars of The American LOVE Project
WE LEAD WITH LOVE. THE VERY ESSENCE of love is embedded in all four pillars on which the American Love Project is built. From how love repairs and heals, to words of a greater love, expressed by many. Past and present.
LOVE REPAIRS AND HEALS the divides that separate us and keep us from working together to solve urgent problems in our country.
THE IDEALS contained in founding documents and laws of the United States of America challenge us to create a more just country for all.
ART HAS THE POWER to awaken and educate hearts, uplift our voices and inspire positive social change
WORDS OF A GREATER from great philosophers, musicians, powets and peacemakers spak through time and remind us of the spark of love in each of us." - Rights
