LIBRE Releases third "Share the Dream" Video Highlighting a Tough Road to the American Dream
Pastor Mike Naranjo turned his old watering hole into a place of worship
(Washington DC) - The LIBRE Initiative, a national non-partisan and non-profit organization that provides U.S. Hispanic communities with the tools to prosper, released today the third installment of the four-part Share the Dream video series. Share the Dream is a multimedia campaign that features the stories of children of immigrants and the common thread that led them to succeed in the United States. The bilingual broadcast, digital and social media campaign, aims to inspire others to achieve the American Dream and embrace the principles that lead to prosperity in America.
This video features the life of Pastor Mike Naranjo of New Mexico, and the inspirational story of how he bounced back from austerity and ruin to follow the path that led him to his American Dream. Pastor Naranjo turned the bar where he used to frequent when he suffered from alcoholism and drug abuse, into a church that now offers hope and a new life to its members. The ad is scheduled to air in television stations in the following markets: Albuquerque, NM; Miami, FL; Phoenix, AZ; Las Vegas, NV; San Antonio, TX. View video.

The ad is scheduled to air in television stations in the following markets: Albuquerque, NM; Miami, FL; Phoenix, AZ; Las Vegas, NV; San Antonio, TX. View video.
Excerpts from the video:
"My father, he used to bartend at a little place, right by where I live. I remember standing up on the tables singing and they gave me quarters or money...and when I started growing up as a musician, playing different places, I began to drink. Drink quite a bit. I got involved in the drugs. That's a difficult time in my life. It spiraled down to, to suicide."
***
"One of the problems I see in my hometown is a growing dependence on government programs...you are going to find people just relying on what they can from government and their reliance on their own abilities, their creativity, the reliance on God- diminished."
***
"As a Pastor, I decided to partner with LIBRE. Faith leaders from across this nation are coming together behind The LIBRE Initiative to empower people in our congregations and communities. Because we're all fighting the same issues. The free market system allows us to succeed on our merits and serve others; this system is moral. Here we have a national organization where we can actually unite and change things in America for the better of our nation."
***
The final ad featuring the young immigrant success story of LIBRE's Field Director, Cesar Grajales, will be released January 20th. For more information on Share the Dream visit: joinlibre.org

FIRST WOMAN COMPLETES FLORIDA CIRCUMNAVIGATIONAL SALTWATER PADDLING TRAIL
FIRST WOMAN COMPLETES FLORIDA CIRCUMNAVIGATIONAL SALTWATER PADDLING TRAIL
~Woman kayaks 1,515-mile trail around state of Florida to earn distinction~
Jodi Eller is the eleventh person to complete the trail.
TALLAHASSEE – Jodi Eller, 31, of St. Augustine became the first woman to complete the 1,515-mile Florida Circumnavigational Saltwater Paddling Trail that runs from Pensacola to Key West to the Georgia border. Eller paddled most of the trail in 2008 with husband Matt Keene, the first “thru paddler” of the trail, and she completed the remaining segments in late 2013.
“This trail is amazing,” Eller said. “It goes through so many different ecosystems. How the beaches change along the trail is just incredible. The trail made me a stronger paddler and it also redefined who I am in a way, bringing me back to the essence of being human. It’s a powerful experience to go through.”
Highlights of Eller’s trip included seeing a black bear cub in a tree along the Crooked River near Carrabelle, island-hopping in the Indian River Lagoon and experiencing “perfect water conditions” for her last segment from Flamingo to Everglades City through Everglades National Park.
“The Florida Park Service offers many ways for Floridians and visitors to experience the real Florida, whether by kayaking, hiking, biking or swimming on a warm summer day,” said Donald Forgione, Director of the Florida Park Service. “I applaud Jodi and others who are able to get a special glimpse of Florida through the amazing Florida Circumnavigational Saltwater Paddling Trail.”
Eller, a kayaking guide for St. Augustine EcoTours and an Environmental Science teacher at Flagler College, has this advice for paddlers interested in taking on the trail: “Do your research prior to your trip by reading everything on the trail website. Beginners paddling with friends can attempt this and build muscles and skill along the way, but it would be best to experience different types of water conditions first. Hopefully, more women will want to do it.”
Eller is the eleventh person to have completed the entire Florida Circumnavigational Saltwater Paddling Trail since it opened in 2008. Currently, two retired police officers from Charlotte, North Carolina, Marc DeLuca and Jim Windle, are paddling the entire trail. They have completed more than half of their journey.
