WATCH THIS CLIP: A TRIBUTE TO KERRY/EDWARDS & SUPPORTERS
Finally, I had to get this off my chest. Over the weekend I produced a video on Macromedia Flash as a way to express the desolation and sadness I've been feeling since the election debacle of last Tuesday.

I needed to do this, also, as a way to show my gratitude to the thousands of volunteers for the Kerry campaign that worked so hard and devoted so much time for the cause. It's heartbreaking to even think about how hard my friends worked, including those who took the time to travel to Ohio last week to supervise the elections. They are true heroes.

Anyway, here's the link, use any of the mirror sites to watch the Flash clip "We Had a Dream":

I hope you like it.

PS: If you know anyone who worked for the Kerry campaign, please send them that link. This tribute is for them.

4. PS: BETTER FOR BROADBAND
Edited on Tue Nov-09-04 12:45 PM by Julius Civitatus
Sorry I didn't specify. The video is better for broadband (rather large), so if you are on a dial-up you may want to be patient until it downloads.

Also, we need additional websites to host the animation. If you have room in your site to mirror the Flash movie, please let me know. Thank you.

9. Voter Fraud Wins Everytime
I was so hoping that our hard work would win over their attempts to steal this one. Not so...

10. How about turning your photo/video talents to showing
the vote fraud investigations. Capture what has been taken photos in the 20 states where e-vote and optical scan machines were altered and where voter intimidation, ballot fraud took place.

26. Sounds good
I just need some time to read the materials and figure out a way to make it visually effective. Unfortunately I know time is against us with this matter. Let me think and see what I can do.

16. She really was a talented performer
Edited on Tue Nov-09-04 12:29 PM by Julius Civitatus
Kate Bush was so ahead of her time. I was listening to her last week and realized that this song, while dealing with the harrowing subject of personal loss, described very well what I was feeling after the election. My creative mind got to work and programmed the Flash video.

Thanks for the awesome feedback, everybody.

14. Very nice. Touching.
That voice, unfortunately, makes me want to commit acts of violence.

That was beautifully done; you really captured the emotive change from despair and sadness, to hope and possibility for the future.


On watching a second time - is there any way to make the audio ending a little less jarring? The song just cuts off abruptly as the credits start. Maybe have it continue playing as the credits roll?

25. I have goose bumps now
Absolutely one of the most heart felt tributes I've seen in a long time. Of course, I simply love Kate Bush. I might have enough bandwidth to host a miror if you still need web space. Just email me and let me know. Thank you for doing this!
