CITIZENS EXPERIENCING AN ALL TIME LOW IN CONSUMER CONFIDENCE AND THEIR FEELINGS ABOUT THE FUTURE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) December 17, 2007 --

Many Americans today are in a state of emotional crisis. The continual barrage of gloom and doom and trauma and drama news has left many Americans in a state of emotional shock and feeling fearful. According to The Conference Board consumer confidence is at an all time low. Statistics from the Disaster Center indicate that the overall crime rate is the highest it has ever been in the history of our nation. The U.S. Department of Justice reports that bullying in our nation's schools has been on the increase in recent years. According to a report published by Security World.com more children than ever feel unsafe at their school and more children are victims of some form of violence at their schools than has ever been before in the history of our nation. Teenage suicide is the third leading cause of death for young people who are between the ages of 15 and 24 in the United States according to the CDC. According to the National Institute of Mental Health over 57 million Americans suffer from some form of mental illness. Many of our citizens no longer feel safe in their own homes, work places, or schools due to an increase in violent events at these locations across our country.
Harold Cameron, The Chief of Helping People of HaroldSays, believes he has an answer for the negativity and fear that people are feeling and experiencing in our nation today. His solution is The Be Positive Do Something Positive Day, March 1, 2008.

Mr. Cameron urges all people to participate in The Be Positive Do Something Positive Day on March 1, 2008 in some way. He is asking that every person start their day with a positive meditation or prayer and then to do at least one positive thing for another person, non-profit organization or charitable cause during the day. Mr Cameron is also asking members of the media to promote The Be Positive Day prior to and on that day by posting a positive headline in their newspaper, or having the first news story on each news broadcast on their radio or TV station be a positive story.

Governor Edward G. Rendell, Governor of PA; Mayor Christopher A Doherty of Scranton, PA; and The Lackawanna County Commissioners will be issuing proclamations in support of The Be Positive Day. Senator Arlen Specter, Senator Robert Casey, Jr., and Congressman Paul Kanjorski are all in support of President Bush issuing a presidential proclamation for the day. The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees and the NEPA Miners Football team are supporting The Be Positive Day. Mark Hoog, author and motivational speaker; Marlene Blaszcyk, creator of MotivateUs.com, and Scott Johnson and The Positive Music Association are supporting The Be Positive Day and Be Positive initiative as well.
Please join Harold and unite together on March 1, 2008 and make it the most positive day our world has ever experienced!
