Free Republic

Hey there, FRiends... I'm doing a feature-length documentary this summer and really need some help locating and getting a load of corollary footage. Although I am not yet going public with the subject and story yet, the film is titled Rebel Evolution, and the ultimate aim of it is a dialogue on the basis and necessity of our freedoms, that liberty is the best guarantor of "social justice". If the topic (however vague at the moment) inspires you, if the next six weeks have some free time for you, if you have the ability and initiative to help seek...

It was like attending a rock concert what with the thousands in a line that wrapped around the huge Berry Center, Ted Nugent performing the anthem, and the press's flashbulbs everywhere.

We also discussed (along with Robbie Cooper of urbangrounds.com) Texas's lack of open-carry freedoms (the Governor personally has nothing against it, 'though prefers concealed carry "I don't want the bad...
