Barbra Streisand Joins Success.org Leadership Project

NATICK, Mass., Aug. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Academy Award winning actress and singer Barbra Streisand has added her inspirational words to the Success.org Action Principle Leadership Project. Streisand's Action Principle(R) titled "Speak Up," joins Action Principles(R) from President Bush as well as many of the nation's leaders in government, business, the judiciary, the military, religion, sports and entertainment. All of these motivational Action Principles(R) can be read at any time on Success.org, the free teaching resource offered by the American Success Institute.

Ms. Streisand encourages, "Too many people of conscience are biting their tongues, fearing they'll be perceived as unpatriotic. In fact, we need to forcefully engage the argument about what makes America... America, the country we all love. Do we want corporate tax giveaways, or help for the unemployed. Opening public lands to oil companies and logging interests, or renewable energy and conservation. An America where elections end up in the courts, or where election reform insures that every vote is counted. A justice department and judiciary that threatens a woman's right to choose and the elderly's right to a dignified exit, or a renewed commitment to the freedom of choice and liberty in a time of crisis.

"Let's have the debate. We can argue about this, wrestle with this... but we can't be indifferent to this. I know it's difficult to criticize the administration in a time of war. But this is about our future... about protecting the very essence of our democracy... freedom of speech. Our leaders shouldn't be afraid to speak the truth, even if it is temporarily unpopular. As Dr. King said, 'Truth crushed to the earth will rise again.'" Streisand concludes, "Truth works. Truth has its own force. Truth eventually wins."

The mission of the nonprofit Success.org is to provide free high quality empowerment courses in business, real estate, personal development and self- defense based on the Action Principles philosophy of self-improvement and service. Over three million students worldwide have benefited from the free courses, ebooks, discussion forums, video archive and podcasts on Success.org.
