[wildcat78]

34. If only more sees this film

Still being raw from the Book Park memorial and the Marines from Cleveland being buried this week around Cleveland. It was more important for Bush to attend a fund raiser than attend even one of the Marine's funeral!

Bush has got to go down!

The rows of crosses brought tears to my eyes. I kept thinking, in two more years, we'll have ten times as many crosses.

Thanks, Swimmer, you are a true patriot. Nominated.

:patriot:

12. What is that about recruiting the soldiers from Souteast Asia?

Wondering about docs for that; anyone??

[Pirate Smile]

33. It is from this article:

On Farthest U.S. Shores, Iraq Is a Way to a Dream

SAIPAN, Northern Mariana Islands - By jogging at sunset on the white sands of a palm-fringed beach here, 17-year-old Audrey O. Bricia is doing more than toning up for her next try in this island's Miss Philippines contest. She is getting in shape for United States Army boot camp.

-snip-
"I am scared about Iraq, but I am going to have to give something in return for those benefits I want," said Ms. Bricia, a daughter of Filipino immigrants whose ambition is to attend nursing school in California.

From Pago Pago in American Samoa to Yap in Micronesia, 4,000 miles to the west, Army recruiters are scouring the Pacific, looking for high school graduates to enlist at a time when the Iraq war is turning off many candidates in the States.

The Army has found fertile ground in the poverty pockets of the Pacific. The per capita income is $8,000 in American Samoa, $12,500 in the Northern Marianas and $21,000 in Guam, all United States territories. In the Marshalls and Micronesia, former trust territories, per capita incomes are about $2,000.

[SwimmerFilms]

15. I just kicked myself!

... is that so wrong?

[FreedomSpirit]

56. You GO SWIMMER!!! GREAT JOB!!

Just don't kick yourself too hard, Buddy. You're doing important work and we appreciate it. Wouldn't want you making films with a sore butt.

[Cha]

59. Yeah, he needs to drive.

:)

[goodboy]

16. Kick for SWIMMER! Wonderful Film!! Reco'd! (nt)

[cbear70]

17. absolutely incredible

That was such a moving film and I am truly touched by what I saw.. I so wish I could be there but will do whatever I can from here.

Thank you for sharing.

[The Backlash Cometh]

19. Very powerful.

It brings that strip of public easement by the Crawford road, right into your home.

[mnhtnbb]

20. GREAT FILM!

Thanks for making this film. I never watch CNN or any of the major networks for news anymore, so wouldn't know if any of their crews have put up anything like this. I doubt it.

This piece gives a great feeling for what it's like by the side of the road at Camp Casey.

Also, I have not seen reported --anywhere--that the triangle patch of land was bought from the county AFTER Camp Casey sprang up.

Can anyone verify if that's true?

[Citizen Jane]

51. Great Film

I had not heard that either. Now that would make a great human interest piece....

[fooj]

21. I'm weeping! That's the America I know and love!

Peace.

[wryter2000]

22. Awesome

"No true Texan could drive by a grieving mother by the side of the road and not stop to see if he could do anything to help."

[jackster]

23. AWESOME!

Absolutely awesome - a wonderful, poignant look at the brave souls at Camp Casey.

Now one question - IS IT TRUE THAT THAT TRIANGLE OF LAND WAS BOUGHT BY ONE OF THE NEIGHBORS WHILE CINDY WAS THERE?

Despicable.

[Swamp Rat]

25. kick and recommended!

:applause:

I'm emailing Shannon right now to congradualte him. :patriot:

[jean]

26. awesome - kick!

31. Could B A Film ( Re-Written ) DECLARATION of INDEPENDENCE

He, the Bush Family, Millionair Class Conspiracy has excited domestic insurrection amongst us. He has endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of our America, merciless savage domestic Millionaire warfare.

Warfare to create a monopoly of our American Government using MONEY as a WEAPON resulting in destruction of all ages, sexes, conditions, the environment and Democracy at its most Basic Foundation.

In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms. Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. Nor have WE the PEOPLE been wanting in attention to our Bush Family, Millionaire Class Conspiracy, Brethren.

41. This is wonderful

Some of us in faraway places (like Minnesota) cannot get down there, but your film makes it feel so real. My heart is with Cindy, now I can truly visualize her experience. Thank you so much for taking the time to share this with us.

[burrowowl]

42. Took over 2 and 1/2 hours

[nigelthebrit]

47. The people are standing up!

It's not only the ordinary decent people of the US, such as these, who are standing behind Cindy at this time. As the story spreads, so are the ordinary decent people of my country, too.

We look forward to seeing you here one day, Cindy!

[jillan]

48. Swimmer - this is too good to only be on the web!

Contact FSTV. They do alot of independent films. Honest.

I have so much more understanding of what things are like at
Camp Casey because of your work.

[Roxy66]

60. Hey Swimmer (DU Member who made film)....fantastic job!!

[bowens43]

61. Thank you so much!!

[BrklynLiberal]

62. One last kick for the weekend...

[buddha8]

63. facism

What's next is quite clear at this juncture. These facist,lying bastards are planning a move on Iran. They always resume the offensive whenever they are perceived as weak. They will engage a joint bombing run with Israeli forces and quite possibly use some 'tactical' nuclear weapons as well. All of their decisions are political in nature and without substance. They hope to eliminate Sheehan from the headlines and squash the Rove investigation by starting this new war. Either that or these monsters will stage a 9/11 type event on their own soil.

At that point is important that each person ask themselves what they will do to challenge this madness. Will they descend into the street and remain there? These are very committed facists that we are dealing with. No different than the cadre that propelled Hitler into power. The Nazis never needed more than 30% of the total German population as members in their party and bush certainly has not needed even that number to overthrow our government. A small committed group has done this and there will always,always be at least 20% of the American public who genuflect before totalitarianism and respect its twisted solutions; they will always stand behind a killer like the bush-turd.

These monsters must be jailed as war criminals. Their propagandists, the many,many corporate journalists like Russert and Blitzer must also be tried for war crimes as their equivalents at Nuremberg were tried. The coutry itself must finally take collective responsibility for its terrible anger and vengance and a new constitutional convention must emerge. At the very best, Texans should be banned from any participation in national government for a period of 2 decades. A degenerate state spawned by greedy decadents who started another fake war of their own against hapless Mexico in the mid 19th century in order to steal its land. What can one expect from such a bastard empire of theives and conmen?
