Fundraiser: Help Send me to Detroit and receive the DVD "Rove's War"

Hi my Friends,

I'm fundraising to finance a trip to Detroit (12 hours of travel one way) to film one of the 300 Downing Street Minutes House Parties - where Conyers and Joseph Wilson will be the Main Base for forcing the Media to report on the fact that the DSM are intertwined with Rove's fingerprints and usual dirty tricks to create the scenario where both Congress and the American People were lied into this rotten little war.

Congressmen will be showing my DVD Preview of "Rove's War" all over the US and Townhall meetings, online blogging of the events will be available at AfterDowningStreet.org on the 23rd as well.

Conyers office and AfterDowningStreet.org were so taken with my 12 minute Preview of my Film "Rove's War" (to begin shipping on August 1st - at roughly one hour of film) that THEY Demanded (and I offered Free of charge) nearly 200 DVDs of the Preview to show at ALL 300 of the DSM House Parties.

I spent 96 hours, while getting 3 hours of sleep in the last 5 days, replicating, printing, packaging and shipping these DVDs to get them to all the Parties - Conyers office generated nearly 200 of these from the DVD file I uploaded to them and shipped them - AfterDowningStreet.org was blessed with a generous provider who paid for the shipping of their nearly 100 DVDs that I generated to make a total of almost 300 for all the House Parties Nationwide.

Between my trip from Hawaii to DC (where I took the chance and used my mortgage money to fund filming the entire event, shipping a two set DVD package to everyone who donated of ALL of the Hearing/Rally & Interviews so they would not be SPUN by the Major Media) and the creation of about 300 DVDs I am now tapped out - but I think it's important to film Conyers and Wilson, etc in ACTION during this major historical event..

So I am offering the best work I have done in all of my years as a Media Creator (and I've got over 50 animations on Takebackthemedia.com I've done for no fees over the last 4 years - one of which ARMY OF ONE was one of the 14 finalists in the Bush in 30 Seconds contest out of 1600 entries - donations to that Flash, turned into a commercial that was shown 3000 times on Cable during the Primaries in New Hampshire) - my best work EVER, called "Rove's War" as a DVD to get the word out and to raise funds to do even more filming - there's a chance I may get to travel to London to film Conyers in Parliment as well, interviewing the British "Deep Throats" that outed Bush,Cheney, Rice and ROVE's faking of intelligence and fixing of intelligence..

I will send each donor that comes to Takebackthemedia.com and donates a minimum of $20 the DVD of "Rove's War", and use the money to further film and release the TRUE story of this Event in Detroit. (I may add another DVD to the "Rove's War" of only the House Parties - I like to give people something in return for their money)

Please feel free to help me reach my goal of $1500 to cover airfare, food, a cheap motel room and a few taxi rides (I don't live in luxury as I do this, I make the money go a long way) - if you can donate more than $20 it would be a big help to me, the site, and my filming of events that won't BE SPUN, or used by the Major Media to stab Conyers or the movement in the back. My camera tells the TRUTH :)

Here's the link to the page for donations. Now here's the catch - An aide at Conyers office wants the Preview to be a surprise, to create BUZZ ahead of time and so I won't be able to offer the Preview online until right before the 300 events where it will be shown to the crowds.

You will have to trust me on this, but I am willing to bet that you will not be sorry if you donate NOW, and then see the Preview right before the crowds assemble (this was the deal offered to me by the aide - they spend thousands replicating and shipping to the Hosts of the parties and don't want to undercut the Hosts by showing this Preview online when the Hosts are using the Preview to entice folks to come to the Parties and get involved.) that you WON'T be disappointed.

Here is the page you can go to, get info on my best work to date, and donate whatever you can spare to send me to Detroit with my camera tomorrow (which will put me in DC in the wee hours of the very day of the event - but I GET THE STORY, as many know - when I showed up in DC for the Conyers DSM Hearing a Pelosi aide wasn't going to let me into the Hearing room - and I literally CHASED Conyers DOWN a Hallway in the Capitol Basement to ask him to GET ME IN THE ROOM. He loved my passion and had his aide escort me back to the Hearing room, whereupon she told the Pelosi aide, "Mr Conyers has requested that this man be let INTO the Hearing room to film this event - it's not just a good idea, it's the LAW!" and so I was IN :) )

The page/link to donate is here: http://web.takebackthemedia.com/geeklog/public_html/staticpages/index.php?page=20050717012815411

Many of you know I have fought for years on my mortgage money, since 2000 - I've been on the O'Reilly show, Scarborough (MSNBC) twice and radio, working sometimes 18 hour days to produce boycotts: like the Limbaugh One (we cost him probably millions in advertising)- I've been sued for a half a million bucks by Michael Savage (WE WON!) and various other actions that I feel have made a real difference.

So now you can help me make a real difference, I can cover this event SPINFREE, and share it with you, and you'll receive a DVD of my best hard hitting, factual and touched with humor work - called "ROVE'S WAR" in DVD format you can share with neighbors of all Political standing to inform and entertain all at the same time.

Go to this link at AfterDowningStreet.org to see what they have to say about my latest film here:

Please give so that I can Give back to the Progressive/Democratic community doing what I do best. Screwing with the MAN, giving them hell and educating with humor. The minute I get the go ahead to post the 12 minute Preview I will load it and notify everyone here.

I won't let you down, and I don't do this for the ego trip - I do it for the CAUSE, for all of us, and for you.

Thanks in advance if you can help, and thanks to others who have backed me before - and thanks to the DU for their support for us ALL!

I think people can vouch for me here that I'm not a rip off artist and never have been - it's your call, help me make a difference..
