Born Again American is committed to the rebirth and re-expression of citizenship through informed and thoughtful activism. It is an initiative of Declare Yourself, a national non-partisan, non-profit (501(c)3) organization dedicated to increasing young voter participation and civic involvement. Declare Yourself’s on-line voter registration tool has been used by almost four million people since 2004. Declare Yourself grew out of the 2003’s Declaration of Independence Road Trip that toured an original 1776 copy of the Declaration to schools, town halls, and other locations all over the country. About the Video 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.

lol Norman Lear From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Born July 27, 1922 (1922-07-27) (age 86) New Haven, Connecticut, U.S. Occupation Television Producer Known for: All in the Family The Jeffersons Sanford and Son Good Times Maude Board member of Norman Lear Center Norman Milton Lear (born July 27, 1922 in New Haven, Connecticut) is an American television writer and producer who produced such popular sitcoms as All in the Family, Sanford and Son, One Day at a Time, The Jeffersons, Good Times and Maude.
lol I'd hate to be the young guy playing the Strat (Luke Buckett in Echo Park, Los Angeles) because every gay in L.A. will assume that the old chickenhawk "took a slide on him" as the price for being in the video. When I was a young pretty boy I'd have known better than to associate my good name with the likes of scumbag Norman Lear. Hell, Engelbert used to be Liberace's "protege", and Robert Blake "went steady" with Truman Capote. I mean, some guys really want that fame and fortune and they just don't seem to care! I really like Bobby Broom's Hofner Jazzica guitar in the video. I've been eyeballin' the IBANEZ GEORGE BENSON SIGNATURE MODEL lately, too.
Go Declare Yourself
