Thank you so very much. As an individual who has seen the power of the police and failure of government, to do what it is contracted to do I thank you very much for the videos you have presented here. I thought I was one of a few that believed in justice, although at times I am a voice in the wind, I realize that others are out there too.

John Dear, inspired me in that he talks about what I deem the corruption in our churches and how the church is silent on so many matters including free speech.

Our own Bishop in NH posted an article on the Fourth of July expressing his love for freedom of speech, while one of his sheep was being harassed by that system he praised.

Thank You for your excellent work.
