For those who dont frequent Election forum: PLEASE READ THIS - watch video
Edited on Tue Jan-25-05 07:36 PM by Faye
i thought i would post this in this forum too, in case there are some who don't regularly read the Election forum.

PLEASE READ THIS FIRST! ---I came up with this idea right after January 6th - to have a video made highlighting some of the events (especially video/news events) of the investigations of the 2004 Pres. election - it is NOT meant to be a 'documentary', so I do already know it does not include scrutinous details such as Triad incidence, illegal recount, Clint Curtis, etc - instead of showing still images from every article released in the past few months, we tried to keep it mostly video and memorable quotes. We tried to get in video clips of Triad rep. and Clint Curtis but we didn't find any good snips that made sense that would fit into the video without taking up too much time. The background song is the song that kept me going and kept me focused on the election fraud investigations all the way from Nov. to this very moment, it is called "Butterflies and Hurricanes" by the band Muse.

I think and hope that after someone watches this, someone who had either no or little idea that any of this went on - that this will get their attention and encourage them to go to one of the websites listed at the end to find more information for themselves. I didn't want to 'sell' the idea of election fraud, but instead, let the people know that these things really did go on - to see REAL life people ON VIDEO making these statements that the mainstream media would not cover.

I think the intention of this video is more of an 'inspirational' recap, rather than a factual, detailed documentary. I just want to be clear on that. (Oh yeah, don't worry, we know it's not in exact sequential order, but it's the feeling I was trying to convey).

Although it was my idea, I think most of the credit goes to Dzika for working SO hard on this (he's actually had to remind me to keep up on it) - he has basically done the hard work of putting this all together, with only me saying what i like or don't like and giving ideas here and there, what i think should change, etc. I am so grateful for his help and work and I'm glad my gut told me to go to him for this. Also, a very big THANK YOU to all the DU'ers who gave us their feedback in the past few weeks - sorry that we couldn't make all the changes suggested but we did what we could and didn't want to keep this from everyone for too long. It needs to get out there!

Anyway, thank you to all who watch this - please spread it around to your friends or other sites/message boards to get the word out. We may make a few minor changes here and there in the next few days, but the changes will always be made on the same link, so don't worry.




This version of the video is made to be played in RealPlayer.

It is best viewed in SMALL screen mode due to some unclear images.

2. OMG, that is so powerful!
I can't find the words to tell you how inspired and moved I was by this. I still have goosebumps and teary eyes.

What a great way to get the message out--I know so many people who won't read an email more than one screen long, but I think this could really get the point across to them. THANKS!:toast:

3. Great job, Faye & Dzika!!
A nice compact summary of what took place.

One addition to the list of election reform websites I recommend is
Citizens Alliance for Secure Elections (CASE) http://www.caseohio.org/

CASE was fighting for secure elections long before last November. After Nov. 2 they mobilized people from all over the country to go and expose the fraud and help with the recount.

(I was happy to see one of my protest photos in there, too, from the 51 Capital March.)

:kick: :)

9. Great job - thanks!
How about a QuickTime version for us Mac people, so I can save it and send it to my pals easier?

Either way, it was well done!

11. Real Player is available for the Mac
at www.real.com

...but you probably already know that. I'll work on a a quicktime link. For now, the best I can offer is a Windows Media link. If that will help send me a PM and I will be happy to send it to you.

17. Thanks dzika, I've got the Real player
but since I have QuickTime Pro, I can save the movie to my iBook and show it to everyone when I'm not online.

Thanks again for your outstanding work. I've been in the advertising biz for over 30 years and I know good stuff when I see it!!
