Once targeted and taken into the fold by the Goopers as a future apparatchik of the far right, I'll take some of the credit for turning my nephew, Chris, away from that sorry fate.
Over the past 10 years. I was only trying to win holiday arguments but between the books I've given him and the arguments I've employed it looks like that modest goal has been overshot and I've created something of a Progressive Activist.
This is not to take away from Chris' own character and talent since he has always been and is now sincerely motivated by what he believes to be the best for the most. It's just he had fallen in with some moderately powerful Pukes (he interned for a wingnut congresscritter, since retired, the summer before his senior year of college) and never heard the truth until I started discussing political matters and policies with him.
Now he's gone off and written the script for a documentary regarding net neutrality. He's assembled a production team and got the project well into pre-production. I'm really quite impressed with what he's been able to do in a short time on a teacher's pay. The production team has a trailer up now and they're doing the hard work of raising the funds to make this film a reality. Here's the link and if you can, please consider pledging something towards their goal. No pledge will actually be charged unless they reach their goal of a $150,000 by July 2nd or 3rd. That's really a modest amount to make a film with but Chris has always been a thrifty sort who can really stretch a dollar, in fact, that whole side of the family is like that!
It's come down to brass tacks and Chris & Co. after having busted their butts are still some ways from their funding goal. Please visit the pledge site, watch the trailer and if you find it worthy, please pledge something and most importantly, pass it around among friends, family and other blogs you visit. Thanks so much in advance, I know the great people we have here on this site can do nothing but good for Chris and his associates.
