7. Thank you, and welcome to DU.
:hi:

It is not my production. :( However, I accept the praise for the creator, and I'll let you know when it starts making the rounds.

11. Thank you. I hadn't realized that by K&R
you meant recommended for the greatest page. That will get it more exposure. Thank you very much. :hi:

ALSO*: HEY, TWEETY, DID YOU WANNA KNOW WHERE THE DEMONSTRATIONS ARE? Look it this video!
(Matthews has on several occasions asked on air, 'where are the demonstrations'?)

FINALLY: :cry: Thank You. You give me hope. Codepink gives me hope. Youth in the street gives me hope. Little kids hold signs calling * an asshole give me hope. The law students who turned their backs on Gonzalez give me hope.

19. Thank you for your high praise.
I'll pass it along to my friend.

When I attended the April 29th anti-war march, there were two little girls on skateboards with signs saying Skateboarders Against the War, and something slightly less acceptable in polite company, but I can't remember what. They were both about 7 years old.

One man had a 3 year old girl on his shoulders, and she was dressed in pink, and wearing a Code Pink button. An early start for her. :)

6. As usual...
...my eyes are filled with tears (damn it!). I am SO proud of the Peace Movement in this country. From the marchers and sign carriers to the photographers and filmmakers, every person plays a critical role. But, more important than the pride they instill, they bring hope. It's hope that keeps this country, and the ideals upon which it was founded, alive.

Thank you for this. :hug:

8. Wow, great job! How do you do all that zooming and panning
on still pictures? Is that flash?

Cindy and Medea are awesome!

Code Pink and Cindy have signed the WorldCantWait statement.

15. Sorry to take so long. My connection
keeps coming and going. I'm on; I'm off; I'm on; I'm off.

I did not make the video. My friend did. I'll ask him about the panning and zooming, but it's likely I won't understand the answer well enough to pass it on.

13. It literally gave me goosebumps.
I cried. Maybe because the music took me back to 'those'(my) days. I never thought I would go though this kind of sorrow again.

17. K & R. Powerful.
When Fitzgerald's indictments start coming down maybe you'd consider the following as a nice little tribute to Karl:

My alterations to the lyrics:

There's something happening here
What it is is perfectly clear
There's a man with a briefcase over there
Tellin' Karl he's got to beware
I think it's time we stop BushCo, what's that sound
Multi-count indictments comin' down

/ E - A - / / / / E D A C /

There's battle lines being drawn
Fitzgerald's right, and BushCo is wrong
Americans speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from the Neocon kind
I think it's time we stop BushCo, what's that sound
Multi-count indictments comin' down

What a field-day for the heat
Before a grand jury, Karl takes a seat
Singing songs and tellin' his side
Sayin', I'll give you Cheney if you'll spare my hide
It's time we stop BushCo, what's that sound
Multi-count indictments comin' down

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life fascist Neocons creep
It starts when you're always afraid
You step out of line, the man come and take you away

We better stop BushCo, what's that sound
Multi-count indictments comin' down
Stop BushCo, what's that sound
Multi-count indictments comin' down
Stop Cheney, what's that sound
Multi-count indictments comin' down
Stop Karl, what's that sound
Multi-count indictments comin' down

28. Very effective. Give my thanks to the author. One suggestion
would be to make it possible to view in full screen mode, if that is a practical option. If there is this option in Flash, it probably would mean using higher resolution graphics to avoid getting chunky pixelization, so he "cost" in terms of the size of the download and accessibility may not be worth it, but I find full screen video more effective than small boxes. Regardless, it is a very moving tribute to the spirit of "we the people."

30. Excellent work
Please pass my compliments on to the producer of this video. "For what it's Worth" is the perfect song for this. Who would have ever thought we would be in the same place we were so many years ago.

Makes me feel sad and proud about our country at the same time.
