Eric Proffitt "Raise The Bar" Music Video

[hotmommamusicgirl]

Incredible, thanks so much for sharing this, lest hope someone with Integrity really does step up and lead this fallen nation...

[lorimac24]

An inspiring message!  loved it

[MrSeamons]

Love the song and the video!!!!

[hachet123]

Great message. Hope it goes all around the world, it certainly applies.

[rmramjet]

I would never vote for some of the current POTUS candidates based on policy positions alone, however I do believe Kucinich, Obama, McCain, Romney, Paul and Huckabee are people of integrity. Those not listed I have reservations about but the field is not void of honorable men. This "challenge" to me seems, or ought to be, about becoming involved rather than merely pulling a lever in a ballot box for one with integrity on election day...A person of integrity may also be a nut case (Ron Paul?:)

great video, great music - so glad to see something with a value deeper than 2 min entertainment. Wish there were more messages and messengers like this. this should be on billboards around the nation.

[dannsadh]

Love the Video Eric. You have done an EXCELLENT job. I didn't realize how talented you are.

Cheers

This election is going to be very interesting. I am canadian but I am not sure who I would vote for even if I were allowed. You either get a great foreign policy guy who is good with money and is totally immoral, or a seemingly moral guy who sucks at foreign policy (some of the comments bush have made-wow!!!). To bad there wasn't someone who was a bit of both eh!!! Good luck!!!

[1cooltool]

Having a Canadian put off by Pres Bush's foreign policy can't be all bad. And who's the "great foreign policy" guy that was totally immoral? JFK? Speaking of JFK, I noticed that his name appears in this video. Is Mr. Proffitt suggesting that we need more like JFK? Poor Jackie probably dreamed for a man of integrity.

[auntybear]

It may not be all bad, but is it all good (or even an bit good)? Do you really want to make enemies out of your nearest neighbors, you wouldn't want to make "Canadian Bacon" reality would you??? Seriously, you get alot further being nice when you can instead of always looking like an uneducated self-centered jerk.

[1cooltool]

Uhm...Thank you for your nice-ness. It's comin' through. Enemies? Bacon? What!?

[politicalanaboots]

I think she's talking about the John Candy movie "Canadian Bacon" It's funny, I'm sure...if your Canadian. (In the movie the US declares war on Canada, becoming their enemies)

[1cooltool]

Thanks for clarifying. I'll also seek out an institution of higher learning and cross off being a "jerk" from my daily to-do list.

[auntybear]

Uhmm. . 1cooltool, I was not saying you were the self-centered jerk (I just realized that my late night writings seem to indicate that). I actually was trying to call some of the politicians self-centered jerks. Sorry for the misunderstanding-BYW "Canadian Bacon" was funny!!

[ericproffitt]

Thanks for the perceptive comment. We put in JFK's name that we saw on the Vietnam memorial because he was one of the presidents whose quote we used at the beginning of the song. I agree...Poor Jackie. -eric

I hope many young people are inspired to become leaders of integrity.

[1cooltool]

Thanks Eric. I think your message is a good one.

[twincelebrators]

Nice! Rock the boat while elections are already under way.

[coolhomeschoolmom]

I'd like to show this to my home-school group. We are studying the US elections right now, my older kids will love it!

[8historybuf9]

Nice song but too much time has passed since this kind of stuff has worked. Do you really think you can inspire kids or any one to make a difference?

[politicalanaboots]

What do you mean too much time has passed? Human nature hasn't changed.

It's people like you that are the whole reason we haven't made a difference , you need to believe that you CAN make a difference, "one raindrop raises the ocean"

[auntybear]

Obviously you have not hung out with a group of teen-agers lately-amazingly there are alot who really care and want to make a difference. These kids rock and will make a difference!!!

[bigdogslo]

Great uplifting message. Thanks!

[heathermccue]

Great job, Eric! All the way, baby!

[heathermccue]
