Phoenix Private Screening by THE R3VOLUTION
EXCELSIOR!
I received my
200 copies (I know how to get the word OUT!) and promptly set up a private screening by the Phoenix R3VOLUTIONARIES and wasn't dissapointed when over 60 people showed up at the Freedom's Phoenix Workshop in midtown Phoenix
with only one day's notice!
Too long!?! NOT FOR THIS CROWD! It could have gone on another HOUR and we would have been happy - laughter, tears, and lots of clapping went on here I tell ya! It was loved as much as we loved DOING it back then at the start.
My biggest regret is not getting my footage in to Chris in time to be included. Maybe it was a good thing because even though others might have thought it too long I agree that the film wasn't truly comprehensive enough to cover what all happened during the Campaign, and a sequel (or two) are required, IMHO.
I finally found all my Super 8 tapes in a bag in storage, and have acquired a capture device and am getting it in digital format. Last night I did the first tape of meeting Michael Maresco in the middle of the Arizona Desert on his Ron Paul Ride south of Gila Bend and being escorted and greeted by dozens of Ron Paul Patriots at the Arizona State Capitol. Brilliant. More needs to be said, and I hope I have a hand in the next one.
I really liked the way you illustrated my explanation of MeetUp, and the use of my voiceovers in other parts of the film. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for including me in your film, and seeing my name in the credits for the first time in my life on the "Big Screen"

- and being followed by such a luminary as Mary Ruwart, - I was truly honored and feel quite blessed that I am in such good company.
Now I have two movies I can't watch without crying - "America: From Freedom to Fascism" and "For Liberty - How the Ron Paul R3VOLUTION Watered the Withered Tree of Liberty"!
