TBTM Video of Inspirational Lyla Lipscomb Speech at Conyers Town Hall
Thanks to the generosity of many here at the DU (my hats off to you all!) I was able to attend and film the Conyers Town Hall Meeting in Detroit on July 23rd when thousands of people met at over 300 House Parties across the country to keep the Downing Street Minutes at the top of the Media and in the minds of our countrymen and Govt officials.

During that Town Hall Lyla Lipscomb (who was the Mom who lost her son in Michael Moore's Farenheit 911 film) gave an incredibly inspirational speech, and you can watch it here:

There's also a Preview there of my latest film in the making called "Rove's War" - which was shown at the start of the Conyers Town Hall in Detroit and nearly 300 copies were requested from his office and AfterDowningStreet.org to be shown at these events - you can watch the Preview there as well.

I was also lucky enough, as some of you remember, go to Washington DC and film the Downing Street Minutes June 16th Hearing in the Capitol - we still have copies available at the site of those as well.

Lots of Animations for one and all as well :)

I think that Lyla's speech is a must see, she's one tough lady and commands everyone to get off their asses, they loved her and I did too - I think you will as well..

We'll be leaking out portions of the Conyers Town Hall in between my work on the "Rove's War" DVD, I'm a busy guy and it's a HUGE subject as simple as the truth is - that the entire Bush administration, at least those close to him were involved in a criminal conspiracy to defraud the american people and use our treasury as an ATM, and that's just a start :)

Enjoy!

1. If your ears have been burning
it's because I suggested earlier today that maybe TBTM should send Al Gore's new TV channel some of your stuff!

5. I saw that and posted there
I think I've got one ear left :)

We're too radical for Gore I bet.. his plan was to let a bunch of 20 somethings loose with cameras and see what they come up with originally..

Us old Veterans who've spent 4 years creating work from our experiences wouldn't know anything about how to do that :)

I hope it isn't boring, that's all we need is to be the right wing's equivalent of their inability to dance, score, write decent music or have a subtle sense of humor..

The right wing dorks all have to hang together so they can pretend that they have FUNK and SOUL and aren't thieves..

Thanks for thinking of me - screw Gore, send me SOROS and his wallet :)

4. Thanks
Despite there being many very good speakers there, this one really kicked it over the top for me..

the crowd was very moved, Heroes and Heroines are born during times like these and can come from anywhere unexpectedly, eh?
