Time to HEAL - There's still Hope, folks - Gold Star mother Lyla Lipscomb Speaks Out
Edited on Tue May-29-07 10:18 PM by symbolman
I had the honor of flying to Detroit, Michigan during John Conyer's Town Hall Meeting on July 23rd, 2005 (which was mirrored in homes and halls that day all over America) where I filmed among other great speakers a Gold Star Mother named Lyla Lipscomb - who spoke so eloquently about her loss, and our nation's loss. (Sorry about the sound, the sound guy abandoned me, after I'd flown from Hawaii just to film this, but you can hear it fine if you listen)
If her name sounds familiar you may be recalling that she was in Farenheit 911, Michael Moore's Film, she was the Mother who seemed to be all gung ho for the "war", but then lost her son to it, and soon was in front of the White House laying it on the line for a woman who was rude, and buying the garbage flowing from that White House.
She gave me chills at this town Hall Meeting, and I would like to share it with you, with the hope that people don't give up, there are MANY of us fighting against this war, Takebackthemedia.com included, and have been for years.
Listen to this Lady, and take heart with what she says at the end, "Don't BE ISOLATED!"
If we tear each other apart, it's the same thing.
