Hadn't seen it before, so I don't know how new it is. But I think it's well done. And, yes, I had to reach for a hanky.

2. Watch a Bill Moyers clip on this project....online...

Snippet:

"A few years ago, the writer and producer Norman Lear — made famous by such celebrated television series as ALL IN THE FAMILY, THE JEFFERSONS and MAUDE — bought one of the original copies of the Declaration, printed on the night of July 4th, 1776. He toured it around the country to inspire a new generation with its message and mission through the "Declaration of Independence Road Trip."

"These people who signed that Declaration pledged their lives, their fortune, and their sacred honor, sacred honor — that phrase has always knocked me out. To be the citizens of this experiment in democracy...Sacred honor... "

That's the message and challenge Norman Lear is taking to the inauguration of Barak Obama. It's time, he says, for a new birth of patriotism as an act of personal commitment and not just sentiment. He commissioned Keith Carradine to write a song — "Born Again American" — that will be performed by singers and musicians from around the country. On its newly launched Web site you can hear the entire song and sign the pledge to revitalize and recommit to the principles behind the Declaration."

5. Why do people think folk crap is the only kind of protest music?

That shit died in the 1960's, and good riddance to it.

Whiny "Kumbaya" crap isn't going to get people pissed off and ready to fight the good fight. Get some rock'n'roll that'll get the masses pumped.

This is a serious FIGHT, not a nostalgia trip. Take this country back!! :patriot:
