Liberate Oscar
V I G l L
To Honor
Charlton Heston

and demonstrate support for:
the United States of America, President Bush and his Middle East/Iraqi policies,
our troops abroad and at home, our veterans,
and every oppressed and Homeless person around the world.

The Academy of Motion Pictures, Arts, and Sciences
8949 Wilshire Blvd, Beverly Hills CA.

Friday, April 18, 2003
@ 3:00 PM until 9:00 PM


Hosted by: Global Homeless activist Ted Hayes,
Justiceville/Homeless USA, the Homeless Defense Fund,
and the FIT-AIM-ACT Hollywood March Against Terrorism

Our vigil honors the legendary actor Charlton Heston for his extraordinary contribution to the American culture. The primary mission of Liberate Oscar is to restore the finest traditions of Hollywood during times of war and its support of American freedoms and values through film-making. Literally, Hollywood stars would have a new opportunity to “weaponize” their talents and re-establish the freedom-first film genre.

Up until recently, Hollywood luminaries have tirelessly supported our men and women in uniform, especially when they were sent into harm's way. Look at Hollywood during World War II, the Korean War, and Vietnam. You'll see Bob Hope, Elvis Presley, Jimmy Stewart, John Wayne, and hundreds of other celebrities showing their support for America and our troops. Where are the Bob Hopes, the Elvis Presleys, the John Waynes, and the Jimmy Stewarts of today? It appears that today's Hollywood with all its film-making magic and deceptive visuals has itself become deceived and taken captive by ill-advised thinking. In effect, this ideological Jihad against America has made Oscar a politically correct P-O-W!

Despite the flaws in America, every Hollywood star should want to participate in the preservation of our nation's image, especially the one image that makes America the envy of the world…our freedom. The freedom to create uncensored movies is the centerpiece of Hollywood's film industry, and now is the time to restore Hollywood's appreciation of that fact. Protected by a powerful military, America has given Hollywood and all of us, the freedom and safety to prosper, invent and help the less fortunate through talents endowed by God.

The liberation of Oscar will begin with an invitation to the "Hollywood 100 Celebrities" who signed the petition against the war to liberate Iraq. Let these stars join us in supporting the reclamation of Oscar by denouncing the character assassination of Charlton Heston in Michael Moore's Oscar-winning documentary, "Bowling for Columbine." We will conduct this vigil in the hopes of setting the record straight about this wonderful artist who is a highly respected American Institution.

Our vigil is also open to Hollywood stars and rank-and-file who wish to restore the American film industry's high moral ground of accuracy in non-fiction film-making, to show support for our troops and veterans (especially Homeless veterans), and to march against terrorism and fear worldwide.

For America and Hollywood's sake, Oscar must be liberated.

If you wish to participate in the vigil, contact Ted Hayes: (213) 892-9065 / Email: thetedshow@aol.com.

I stand for Charles Heston. The right to keep and bear arms, as an individial right and not a collective one, shall not be infringed. And as long as there are those like myself, who strongly believe in individual freedom, (and not feel we have a duty to serve others in society), and the right to protect ourselves from a tyranny government and invasion of enemies, I'll fight to the very death for this!

Go kick some serious butte, Mr. Heston!

To: RonDog; All
TO ALL:

Here's an update I just received about Friday's Vigil...

"No you do not have to call.

Just show up anytime between 3:00 PM and 9:00 PM.

You may call if you like, simply to let us know about what time to expect you.

Don't forget to bring your flags, banners, signs saying "We Love Charlton Heston"

"We Like Ben Hur" "Yeah Moses" "Heston: WWII Veteran" "Heston: Civil Rights Activist" " Heston: Friend of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr." etc,

If you represent an organization, bring your banners.

Indeed, spread the word. Tell everyone to call the talk shows and remind the listeners to attend...."

Oi RonDog! I am no fan of Charlton Heston, but I am a bigtime admirer of Ted Hayes, who is, and after recycling a gazillion Köstritzer Schwarzbier bottles (don't ask) I was able to get to the tail end of the rally and meet the man in the flesh! I made up a couple of shirts for him, the 2nd Amendment one and one that I'd seen on a truck sticker (an omen?) that said CHARLTON HESTON IS MY PRESIDENT. (I need not agree with everything I print on a shirt any more than I need agree with everything I print in a book or magazine.) I made them in different sizes because I had no idea what size Ted Hayes wears, so I gave him both the XL and the XXL, and he said he'd give the XXL to Heston himself:

I've had doubts about Heston's ethnic comments but I may be mistaken. The only way to be sure what he meant by them would be to ask him himself, objectively, as in, "What did you mean by (blah blah)", as opposed to asking "Do you dislike this or that group" (which is what I had always thought). Perhaps when The Man, Hayes, gives him the shirt I'll get a chance to ask him in person.

Kudos to Free Republic for giving me the chance to meet black people like myself with views that challenge media stereotypes of how we ought to think.

Cheers, dog
