Long time, no see.

I know it's been a while since i've posted. I have been lurking though. I am usaully working right now but the snow closed up Virginia. I am leaving right now to try and get some work done. Most of my work is outside so it's not much fun.

Have a great day.

[SAMWolf]

You too. Nice to see you again.

Fellow Foxhole Freepers... I'd like to pass the torch on the item below. In addition to the brave patriots of this weekend, all across America who met the opposition head on, I can't think of a better bunch than you to present our views to this filmmaker.  I'm looking specifically for folks in the Chicago area who might consider a role in this project, who have participated or support our Support our Troop and Commander in Chief demonstrations. Sam, I'll leave it to your to ping likely candidates. Deal?

Just FYI, we've heard back from Ross... any thoughts after reading his reply?

Dave,

 I apologize for my lack of explanation in the use of pro-war.  I simply
want all views, from all walks of life.  When I say 'pro-war', what I mean
is the belief that we shouldn't just sit around waiting during what seems to
be a hide and seek game with arms.  That our military presence in Iraq is
what we need for the goal of peace.  A lot of people believe that the only
way to achieve peace is to take out what threatens its existance.  The media
has made the division of pro-war and anti-war.  I'm looking for the extremes
and everything in between.  I was just keywording with the use of 'pro-war'.
Not meaning it quite so literally.  This will be a film with everyone's
views.  And I'm looking for exactly what you said in your reply.  Because I
feel that you speak the same as the majority of Americans.  And that is one
of the messages I want to send out.  This weekend I'm filming an Anti-war
domonstation, and will be getting their views.  But to achieve the goal of
this project, I need people with the same voice as yours.  I would greatly
appreciate anything that you can help me with.  Once again, I apologize for
not explaining my term better.

Sincerely,
Ross Lyons

Thank you Ross...

I am sharing our communications with a very special group of people. The
attached photo, reprinted with permission, is a sample of ordinary people,
exercising extraordinary effort, to offer a differing viewpoint on the
crisis in Iraq.

Brad Cloven protests outside the Peace Prize Forum, saying it's time to "take Saddam out" and free the Iraqi people from his rule. (MPR Photo/Bob Reha)

"I want people to understand that peace is good but freedom is better,"
Cloven says. "The Iraqis deserve freedom, and cowering in fear of their
impending nuclear weapons isn't freedom for us either. It's time to take
Saddam out."

This weekend, another of our colleague left the comfort of his warm car
because of a poor cell-phone connection. He stood outside in blowing snow to
share his New York City "Support our Troops" experience in the midst of the
Ant-War protests with a west coast talk radio host on KFSO San Francisco.
His friend joined us last night for a follow-up report on KFBK's Mark
Williams show here in Sacramento.

I realize you probably have some time constraints to work around.  Our folks
would probably like some examples of your previous works or help you if you
are an emerging filmmaker.  Fair enough? Feel free to call me anytime: (916)
448-1636 We'll circulate your email address after you next reply, if that's
alright. Thank you for your clarifications today.
