New PeaceTakesCourage Video: "Security"

Howdy all! Please check out the new Peace Takes Courage video "Security," and let me know what you think. The video shows the failure of the Bush administration during the 9/11 attacks, and it also shows how the administration now uses the fear and emotion that 9/11 caused all of us to have. They use our fear, anger, and sadness to fuel their own personal interests. They used it to invade Iraq, takes away many of our civil liberties, win elections, and profit. This September 11th, we all must stand up and take our country back by demanding Congress hold this administration accountable. This country belongs to the citizens, and it's about time we remind those in power of that. This country belongs to the citizens, and it's about time we remind those in power of that.

EDIT: I've uploaded the video onto YouTube now.

2. Hey, AVA! Nice work as always, kiddo!

One question: when you wrote "that.nistration ", is that
a typo, or some meme I missed a memo on?

Kicked and RECOMMENDED, as always.

Richard

[Ava]

[Richard Steele]

16. Typo, was it? Bummer. I thought it might be some cool new catchphrase..

(Trust me: it's funny cuz I'm OLD)

[Richard Steele]

18. Yer very welcome.

Your work puts me to shame...I spent 90 minutes this afternoon
with nuthin' but THIS to show for it:



(In my defense, I did that in a hurry...I was supposed to be
cleaning the living room to make space for the new sofa at the time...
even so, it's still pretty half-assed, even by my low standards)

[Ava]

25. i love that!

and IMO it's well done!!! :hi:

[Richard Steele]

41. You're very kind, lol! That deserves a KICK!

[Ava]

13. How's this?:

[Ava]

14. what is MIHOP?

:shrug:

[StraightDope]

15. Made it happen on purpose...

... in reference to 9/11. One of these days, I really should draw up a DU acronym guide. I remember all too vividly the confusion that I experienced during my introduction to this wonderful place.

[Ava]

37. i'm not a 9/11 conspiracy person,

but thanks for the acronym. ;)

[unhappycamper]

Here's a link.

[Ava]

12. thank you

:hi:

[question everything]

2973, I was thinking how we are approaching this number with our dead in Iraq.

[Ava]

22. thank you

and yes, sadly we might pass that death toll again. :(

[fooj]

[chat_noir]

30. piggybacking on your talent and popularity, Ava

I found this video in the Most Linked section when I went to You Tube to watch your latest marvelous creation.

THE BEST WAR EVER

The book on which the video is based: The Best War Ever: Lies, Damned Lies, and the Mess in Iraq

[Ava]

31. very cool video!

thanks for the link!

[madokie]

32. You never cease to amaze me

with your level of comprehension and talent. Today is the day we need to look back on in time and remember it as the day that we as a group finally say enough is enough . We are the only ones who can do it, our politicians can't because they are all beholding to the biggest evil of all, the love of money.

[Ava]

35. thanks madokie!

:hug:

[H2O Man]

34. Nominated!

Keep up the great work! "This country belongs to the citizens, and it's about time we remind those in power of that" -- this is exactly right, and by exercising those "citizen muscles" defined by the US Constitution, we become the people in power. I admire the work you do!

[Ava]

36. thank you H2O Man

:hi:
