AUDIO OF MY INTERVIEW ON THE ALAN COLMES SHOW TONIGHT!
Edited on Fri May-05-06 12:18 AM by Ava
Here is the audio from my interview with Alan Colmes tonight. I was on to talk about PeaceTakesCourage.com and the animations I produce. The interview is about 17 minutes long and 8.23MB. Check it out and let me know what you think.

You can listen by clicking on the link below.

My Progressive Democrats of America interview also came out today.
Peace Takes Courage is a project by Ava Lowery, a 15-year-old student and peace activist from Alabama. In mid-March 2005, she created her first animation. Since then she has made over 70 animations, many of them about the war in Iraq. This week PDA got a chance to chat with Ava, whose powerful photo animation "WWJD?" on her web page has been stirring up some controversy.

9. Well he was trying to scare you
Scare a 15 years old girl with the possibilty of getting persecuted to the point of getting kill.

You hit them hard. Take care.
You like Queen Piece on chessboard.

They really cannot do anything else to you except .........

It is a very hard road that you choose to walk.

12. Well done, Ava!
You came across as committed, confident, articulate, knowledgeable and warm. When you talked about wanting to run for office, tears came to my eyes. I know you're not quite 35 yet, but I hear there are going to be a few openings in the White House soon...do you have a fake ID?

Thank you so much for all you do.

18. Whoo Hoooo AVA! I am so proud of you!
You are a branch breaker!

The Weight of a Nothing

"Tell me the weight of a snowflake," a coalmouse asked a wild dove.

"Nothing more than nothing," the dove answered.

"In that case I must tell you a marvelous story," the coalmouse said. "I sat on a fir branch close to the trunk when it began to snow. Not heavily, not in a raging blizzard. No, just like in a dream, without any violence at all. Since I didn't have anything better to do, I counted the snowflakes settling on the twigs and needles of my branch. Their number was exactly 3,471,952. When the next snowflake dropped onto the branch--nothing more than nothing -- as you say -- the branch broke off."

Having said that, the coalmouse ran away.

The dove, since Noah's time an authority on peace, thought about the story for a while. Finally, she said to herself, "Perhaps there is only one person's voice lacking for peace to come to the world." - Source unknown

55. Oh, ClayZ, I absolutely LOVE that fable!
Never heard it before, but now all my friends are going to hear it!

Thank you -- and Thanks to you, too, Ava, for all you do. I've heard so much praise of you lately here on DU; and if you hang out in the Lounge, I think I'll start dropping by there some to get to know you (and the others who enjoy that place, too).

20. Great interviews!
I recently watched your WWJD video. Wonderful job!
That's what the opposition can't stand -- the revelation that truth isn't on their side.
The photos you used were so powerful. Honest images of war, devastate their case.

Good on you! :patriot: :thumbsup:

31. You did a beautiful job .........
Edited on Fri May-05-06 07:48 AM by hwmnbn
You are a natural born speaker. Your responses are compelling because of the grace and ease you display. They are coming from a strong and centered conscience.

You are a formidable force and I'm so glad you're also a lovely human being.

I think film school would be fun for you and beneficial for the peace movement. Please know there are so many people supporting you everywhere.



and that politics thing?....... You go, girl!! :yourock:

39. Thanks Ava, just now listened to the interview and it was great
peace takes courage is the face I see now when I think of living life in peace. I wish I had your courage. Something tells me and this I know, we'll be seeing and hearing a lot more from you as we labor on in the quest to save our once proud Country.

Thank you for your sharing that courage with me.

44. Great interview!
Nice pic of you with the transcript at PDA. :loveya: (In a grandfatherly way, of course.)

I've been exploring Flash, and I'm interested in your techniques. For instance, do you do everything in the main timeline, or do you put together movie clips? Could you describe how you do it?
