US Daily Review: Article V Amendment Convention, Good or Bad?

Crazy busy days in the Salima Household! I keep thinking they are going to slow down, but not so! Here's my  latest US Daily Review article:

Article V Amendment Convention: Good or Bad?
Posted on 20 October 2011

by Candace Salima, regular contributor to US Daily Review

Yesterday, I interviewed Representative Brad Daw (R-UT) and Senator Curtis Olafson (R-ND) on my show. The topic? Article V of the US Constitution and the Article V Amendment Convention they are proposing.

First and foremost, this is not a Constitutional Convention, not in any way, shape or form. It is restricted to a single, specific purpose, which is the passage of an amendment to the US Constitution.
Article V reads:

I also interviewed Rep. Brad Daw (R-UT) and Senator Curtis Olafson (R-ND) on Turning the Tide. Here is the two-part interview in video for you on an Article V Amendment Convention:

Turning the Tide: Article V Amendment Convention, Part 2




All in all, I am quite intrigued by the States stepping up and reigning in the federal government. I mean really, someone has to, because Congress and the Obama Administration just continue to remain deadlocked. We need serious cuts, which the Republicans want, but the Democrats was serious tax hikes. In the meantime, Barack Obama runs around America playing class warfare accusing Republicans, and conservatives of all parties, of every type of ridiculous charge he can come up with.

The framers of the U.S. Constitution gave the people a path in Article V, and the States are taking that path. Jump on board, people. Between getting the right people in office, righting some of the damage done by the 16th and 17th Amendments, and reigning in the wild spending of Congress, an Article V Amendment Convention is the way to go!

Turning the Tide: Steve Berry Interview

Had a wonderful interview with New York Times bestselling author of The Jefferson Key today. Steve Berry and I talked about writing, books, preservation of history, piracy, the U.S. Constitution and the USO. It was an informative, entertaining and motivating interview. I'm grateful Steve took the time out of his insanely busy schedule to conduct this interview with me.

Here's the fun part! Steve's foundation, History Matters, is specifically for the preservation of history. He is coming to Utah in May of 2012 to conduct a writers seminar, all the proceeds of which will go to the Salt Lake Historical Society. I am very excited to go and learn from one of the best writers out there today, and to contribute to the preservation of history at the same time. Kind of a grand slam for me! 

Anyway, enjoy the interview. It aired on Turning the Tide's show today at 1:00 p.m. MDT on Livestream.com.

Turning the Tide: The Five Series Interview

I've spent the last three weeks, almost exclusively, fighting technology at all levels, trying to get Turning the Tide fully transitioned from BlogTalkRadio to All Fired Up!s new internet station. Sadly, they are not quite ready, but since I'd begun the transition I began looking for alternatives until All Fired Up! was ready to go.

And finally, hallelujah, I am there! Mostly. At least shows are being aired now! You may watch on a variety pages or on your iPhone or Smartphones:

or on this blog

As I've been working the technological quirks out, I interviewed the cast of The Five (on BlogTalkRadio and converted it to video for Livestream, not FoxNews), but five demigods tasked with protecting humanity from those who would destroy them. From their Facebook page I found this description and trailer of the show:



Over 3,000 years ago, Ancient Greece was ruled by beings known as gods. Their superior strength and abilities allowed them to rule mortal man. At first, this was a responsibility that these beings took seriously. Each claimed a stewardship over a part of humanity, a facet of life that they would monitor and maintain. But as time went on, these beings became selfish. As the adoration and worship of the people grew, so did the egos of those known as the gods. By seduction, deceit, or force, many of the gods had children with mortals, blending their DNA and blurring the line between man and deity.

Soon chaos reigned. These powerful beings became spiteful. They turned on one another and used the humans as pawns in their petty games. With no end to the torment in sight, the people of Greece looked to the heroes of legend. Half god and half human, these brave men were all that stood between man and certain destruction. Recognizing what needed to be done, these five men turned against the powerful gods and stripped them of their powers, reducing them to mere mortals. 
In one final act of vengeance, Hera cursed the five to a lifetime of servitude. Their progeny would spend eternity sacrificing for the humans their ancestors had chosen. But, in her zeal and anger, Hera’s curse was more powerful than even she had planned. Instead of only cursing those five who had defied her, Hera cursed every being who had a genetic link to the gods. Throughout time, the offspring of the gods, those genetic hybrids, would clash, good versus evil, right versus wrong, caught between deity and humanity, they would never find genuine happiness or peace. They would be forced to hide their true nature and shun the fame that lured many heroes. 
Today, many of the descendants of that curse gather at the Alpha Omega Fraternity house at Schills University in Athena, Washington. Established over a hundred years ago, the fraternity offers its members camaraderie, brotherhood, and a place to train and hone their special abilities. 
Five current members of the fraternity are more powerful than all the others. Jason, Matthew, Nicolas, Chayton, and Jin have met every challenge life has given them with strength and fortitude. Now, they will come together in an unprecedented gathering of power. With the ability to move things with the mind, fade from one location to another, freeze time, control electricity, and defy gravity, these five men will be a true force for good in the world. 
While the storms of evil rise, these brothers will fight for what they know is right. They will defend mankind against those beings who would once again seek to enslave humanity for their own pleasures. As Hera predicted, they will sacrifice and risk their lives to protect the people who have no knowledge of the danger to their way of life. The Five will be heroes in obscurity, attempting to balance the dual nature of their very essence with living a normal life, all the while hoping that the curse can be broken and that one day they will be free.
Starring: Cy Garrick, Brian Hin, Kyle Fotheringham, and Kai Kamai (one main character yet to be cast.

It's here! Finally!

UPDATE! The Turning the Tide launch has to be delayed until tomorrow, 4 October 2011. Final quirks of the software to be worked out, but we are good to go for tomorrow.

It's been some long, complicated weeks and months in pulling this entire project together. Turning the Tide with Candace Salima, as of tomorrow -- 3 October 2011, is now airing three hours a day, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. MDT/MST.

The journey has been a long, complicated one, without question. It began last August when I was approached to do an internet television show, which quickly grew to being aired on Fox 13 in Utah, etc. Through the next three months, opportunities came and went, we shot eight shows, but the money never materialized and the producer left the show. At that point, we tried a number of avenues, but the show was not able to continue and that was that.

January of 2011 came along and I was invited to be a co-host on KTALK's Buy Back America. It was a volatile partnership with the host, but I enjoyed doing the show until our goals and purposes went separate ways. I am a woman of deep conviction and spiritual nature with a passion to save this great nation to which I was born. The message I had for America differed in delivery from that of Buy Back America, so Tim and I amicably parted ways, and Turning the Tide was created.

Within days of announcing a brief 30-minute weekend radio show, I was picked up by the internet radio station, All Fired Up! Radio out of Houston, TX. My 30-minute Saturday show, before the first one aired, turned into a 2 hour Saturday morning show. As I was ramping up my show, All Fired Up! Radio began ramping up their station, preparing to make the transition from BlogTalkRadio to streaming all their shows on their website. Upon being told it would be ready to go in October, I began scheduling interviews, for the 3-hour show, beginning October 3rd, and there are many exciting interviews coming up.

It turned out, that All Fired Up! Radio wasn't going to be quite ready, so I went into many long conversation with my nephew, Kai Kamai, on how to get the Turning the Tide website ready to stream the show, because I was booked too far ahead to cancel the interviews. We spent the entire last week learning about Reaper software, LiveStream, and what would work best for Turning the Tide. We still have the phone system to work out, but the show is moving forward as plan.


It is complete! And we are ready to officially launch Turning the Tide tomorrow at 1:00 p.m. MDT. You will be able to not only listen to the show, but watch it through a variety of avenues.
