AWESOME MOVIE

On October 6th, 2009 micgundee says:

only thing missing was the Aimee Allen Ron Paul Song. But excellent none the less. Thanks guys!!!!!!!!

There was so much

On October 6th, 2009 THX1138 says:

that could have been included in the film, and I'm sure the creators had to draw the line on lots of good footage.

The bonus features in the film are great too!

Keep an eye out for me. Woo

Keep an eye out for me. Woo hoo I'm famous. I have only seen the trailers, but I know I'm in it a few times. Sorry I'm such a nerd, but i'm excited to be in this film.

Dude, I just watched it.

by paying entry fees for the films showing at things like the Sundance Film Festival which is what I understand has happened now.

Awesome!

On October 5th, 2009 THX1138 says:

Once you install the player

On October 6th, 2009 Maeve says:

You get the whole movie, not the trailer, and you can download it for free.

Blessings )o(

Definately buy it!

On October 5th, 2009 THX1138 says:

You won't regret having this piece of nostalgia cluttering your kitchen table or entertainment center!

For anyone who hasn't seen it yet, I've found it free on Google videos. I'm downloading and burning it for everyone I know. :) I've only seen the first ten minutes so far, and already the enthusiasm for the campaign is coming right back. Given how google vids are set up, I'm hoping this link will lead you to the movie. Worth a try anyway. http://video.google.com/v...

I would definitely recommend this to anyone that feels they need their spark re-lit.

EDIT: Woops! google is a bad link. This one will give you the full movie. http://www.veoh.com/brows... OR, you can choose "Watch this on Veoh" under the google movie box.

Blessings )o(

Oh, and Michael N. Nice to finally SEE you! My special thanks to you for providing The Daily Paul.

Ahhh crap!

On October 5th, 2009 THX1138 says:

Shouldn't we buy this film first from the makers like I did and support the documentary workers efforts? I mean if we make everything available for free won't it kill our momentum and funding of the revolution?

Not necessarily

On October 5th, 2009 The Granger says:

An example I'll use is the Grateful Dead. When music companies were in the process of enslaving artists, one of the things they did was to ban live taping. The Grateful Dead rebelled against the music industry by making a "taper section" and issueing "taper tickets" that gave fans with tape decks to previledge of bringing in their recording equipment and recording.

Fans would contact tapers and give them blank tapes and the price of postage to have the tapes mailed to them. This began a bootleg demand. The Grateful Dead said all tapes must be free, so trading tapes, bootlegs, is one of the things that established the Grateful Dean as a community.

Grateful Dead recod sales SUCKED, but the supporting Grateful Dead companies, Liquid Blue, Grateful Productions, many more, made hundreds of millions by selling Tee shirts, stickers, dolls, gosh, there was tons of Grateful Dead stuff to buy. Even these products fell into creative hands that bootlegged tee shirts, and sold tour shirts at $5.00 a pop. But to the "real" fans, this was a Bozo no no, and official Grateful Dead tees were prefered attire.

So if you put the film, as a message, out there, and it resonates with allot fo people, you can profit off other items.

Second example could be Daily Paul.. I really wish Michael would make a DP tee shirt.

dp t shirt

On October 5th, 2009 Delvin says:

seen this shirt?
http://www.zazzle.com/the...

they just want to enter it into a few film festivals before they post it online -this spreads the message and doesn't cost them money, even though people won't be able to youtube it for a while. the dead said once we've played it we're done with it because it didn't cost them anything and it spread their music... not quite the same scenario between the dead and whoever made 'for liberty'.
also I doubt this movie will sell tai-dyes, tapestries, ashtrays or glassbowls...
"merchandising: where the real money from the movie is made!" i can see it now... the "for liberty" flame-thrower...

Delvin: No, I did not see that link

On October 6th, 2009 The Granger says:

I LOVE the tee shirt. THANK YOU.

I agree my example of the GD isn't exactly the same, but the principle is, and while the idea of "liberty" flame-thrower", is funny, there may be things in the movie that could be produced.

The way you spelled tai-dyed is interesting.. it reminded me of this: http://www.youtube.com/wa...

hey

On October 6th, 2009 Delvin says:

we have our own lot scene, right here at the dailypaul and it is about as raw a lot as you can find.( like with that t shirt you were lookin for...) and we all gradually bring each other in closer and come to knew levels of understanding with every thread. its a beautiful thing
"The War Prayer - Mark Twain"

I agree Delvin

On October 6th, 2009 The Granger says:

The Grateful Dead sustained a community for decades. I hope we can learn from them, which is why I bring them up. Grateful Dead had their symbols, more than one, more than one movie, book.. alas, Jerry garcia died the the band is not what it was,, RP rEVOLuton needs to be bigger than RP, and I think films like this or Tied-Dyed, are fragments of the whole, which I believe the exciting story and the one I want to see.. if I had any computer skills or talent, I would do it my self, but it would be great to have a YouTube movie of the rEVOLution... show people the "real-life" busts we made of MSM bias on RP as a candidate, the money bombs reflected on DP and other RP groups, the growth of the meetups, the military supporting RP for 3 quaters of the FEC, the sites like Daily Paul crashing from too much traffic, Google and other search engin bans on RP, clips from supporters on YouTube, like Rachels, "I'm a Ron Paul junkie", RP radio...

To take the experirence of the RP rEVOLution from a computer perspective.. Allot of people would want that for the memories of seeing it on YouTube. Seeing YouTube on YouTube has a sureal feeling, and that could be exciting on the big screne as The Matrix..

Profit off other items, such as???

"So if you put the film, as a message, out there, and it resonates with allot fo people, you can profit off other items."

I apologize, but could you let me know how this will help the producers of the film? I suppose they are profiting off the revolution by making this film, but I believe it is a historical record that needs to be shared and funded so we can do it again.

So please elaborate further on how we can help them make back their money to produce this film. Perhaps we should get a verbal from them and ask if they approve of such potential theft. Then again maybe they want it to be available for free? My guess, would be no however.

I just don't know
