I don't know how many of you have seen THIS video, but it is a MUST see!
It is inspirational, and needs to be seen by every American before the November election.
Those of you who have ping lists need to ping them to this link, and everyone who has an e-mail list needs to pass it along.
It's done by a young man from the University of Delaware named Chris Byrne, and it is beyond excellent......it is inspired.
I believe the RNC should be told about this, and it should be used as a campaign ad. In these days of hostility and hatred coming from the left, our President's goodness is a light in the darkness.
Pass the word along!
bttt
I emailed Chris to thank him for the video and he wrote back and said Time Warner has contacted him to remove the song because it wasn't licensed.
He has contacted Republicangear to remove the video....so watch it now before it gets removed.
Thanks for the notice. I will not send it out to anybody.
I assume he will make a new one removing the music or just inserting diff music that you could send around.
3 meg is a lot to e-mail anyway.
Selah is a Christian band whose version of this blows Groban's out of the water.
Russ Lee.
I have a copy of a Sept. 11 remix I downloaded online when they had all the tributes and stuff. It is really good; it is a combo of his speech after Sept. 11 and the song.
Please link to his site, not the republicangear one, which just copied his swf without permission.
Thanks for the ping!
NEW VERSION JUST UPLOADED ON CHRIS' SITE....without music for now.

Nothing more tiresome than a non-informative "MUST SEE" headline.
Ohio: Sorry pal I don't do "MUST".
Thank you ohioWfan! What an inspiring video. The young man who made it is to be congratulated. The RNC ought to have this played at their convention. If they don't, shame on them. This is a reminder of what us Dubya fans have known all along...........he IS the leader we need in these times and I thank God for him.
I'd like to add my sincere thanks to you for making this video. Hope you keep doing wonderful things like this.
Chris, you are one AWESOME dude and I'm glad that through your improperly linked (and fouled up meta tag) site you found your way to Free Republic, because from what I saw at your site, you are one heart with almost everyone here.
Please do try to get Warner Brothers' permission to use that song because I would hate (hate hate hate) to see it go by the wayside. It fits perfectly with the words and images. You are so clever with this sort of thing I think you will find it pretty easy to think like they do and find a way to present this to them from the view of how using this song will help their sales (because it will!!!).
Rock on.
I second the recommendation that others have made: see if you can use Selah's version of the same song. You can watch the video for it on Yahoo! Launch Music.

No problem. Your loss.
And I'm a bit confused. I thought the problem with using copyrighted material was if you made a profit, which you're not....
I suppose WB figures that people won't buy the CD if they see it on this video? Doesn't make sense to me.
(I KNOW because my husband [and daughter] sat and listened to him every single night for 3 or 4 months!)
I hope Chris can figure out a way to use THIS song, because it's perfect for his video.
Thank you for this!!!
I went to bed quite late last night - and slept in for the first time in a long time - I just woke up. What a terrific way to start my day!! Of course - tears are now streaming down my cheeks ----
With a little adjustment of time (no intro) it would work very well with Chris's.
Yeah.......the tears do come, don't they?
