1. Born Again American

9 months ago

Our founder, TV producer and philanthropist Norman Lear, was talking with Academy Award-winning songwriter Keith Carradine one night, and the Born Again American video was, well, born. It took the efforts of Director Mark Johnson of Playing for Change, Producer Brent Miller, and 16 performers and two choruses to bring Keith’s song to life in 14 iconic locations around the USA. The singers and musicians, non-professionals all, were chosen because they are living the lyrics in these troubled times, not just performing them.

To all my dear friends of different faiths I would say - we should be so thankful that we can live side by side together. Each of us expresses our faith and love to our children, our friends and our community. This is America - not a land without faith - a land born with faith. This video expresses my faith and the love in my heart. Please feel free to share yours. thegreatamericandecison.com

Don’t you wish we had politicians who would heed this message?

Yes, ebar! In fact, I could wish the American citizenry had at the earliest, been keen enough to hold our leaders (on the Hill, throughout our Courts and even in the Classrooms) accountable for their acts.

"Doing what is right in their own eyes" has brought the threat of destruction on our Nation - but I'm afraid that we've been enablers for their arrogant disregard for Biblically sound ethics and the principles contained in our Constitution.

What an uttterly impressive, and inspiring presentation "Born Again American" really is!

Just about when I felt I could no longer hold my head up because I was an American; This has inspired me and makes me proud just because our government would suppress us and demean us dose not mean I should hold my head down. We need to step up and demand what our forefathers worked for; the right to employment, the right two own property, the right to be an American.
