- inactive, on 08/30/2008, -4/+30Hmm…evidently, Freedom is popular.
- inactive, on 08/30/2008, -3/+23I feel as one person who stands up, I have a voice and letting it be heard sends fear to the establishment.
WE have a voice! - inactive, on 08/31/2008, -1/+16The best part is you won't have to put up with lamers and haters and political cowards. The only people attending will be my fellow Americans who believe the Constitution is still in force and that we the people are going to make sure the government knows we are not happy. Of course the fact that nine out of ten Americans disapprove of Congress and the presidents numbers are not much better it is easy to see that Americans are sick and tired of business as usual.
More than 90,000 members of the coalition for Liberty proves that there's no doubt freedom is popular and there are plenty of Americans ready to prove that.
That other thing, the Republican coronation of a man who has already violated his oath of office and refuses to support the Enumerated Poweers Act should show where the D&R gang stand, our rally will show where we the people stand.
The only thing that remains to be seen is whether they will finish third.

Sara Evans |Featured Musician
Strength‚ versatility and a spunky sense of adventure are qualities more often associated with literary heroines than successful country singers‚ but then there’s nothing typical about Sara Evans. Whether dominating country radio airwaves with one of her many hit singles or attracting a new legion of fans with her spirited turn on “Dancing with the Stars‚” Evans’ drive‚ talent and determination have placed her in an elite class of artists who transcend musical genres to become a household name.
Her musical accomplishments are celebrated with the release of “Sara Evans - Greatest Hits.” The 14-song collection features 10 of Evans’ signature songs as well as four inspired new songs‚ worthy of taking their place alongside such modern classics as “No Place That Far‚” “A Real Fine Place to Start‚” and “Born to Fly.”
The greatest hits package marks the first time Evans has worked with acclaimed producer John Shanks (Bon Jovi‚ Kelly Clarkson‚ Keith Urban‚ The Wreckers). That collaboration produced four new tunes‚ including “As If‚” the lead single from Evans’ hits collection. “He’s just amazing to work with and he was exactly what I needed for this project. I know I’ll work with him again - IF he’ll have me‚” Evans says with a smile. “He doesn’t do anything like everybody normally does. He has no formula.”
For Evans‚ releasing a greatest hits package is like looking back through a photo album; each song is a snapshot that brings a flood of memories. “My first No. 1 record came when I was pregnant with Avery‚” she recalls of “No Place That Far” which hit the top of the charts as she was expecting her son‚ now eight-years-old. “I remember that time because it was the most amazing time in my life. I thought things could absolutely not get any better. I was expecting my first child and having my first No. 1 record.”
Indeed‚ Evans was on her way to becoming one of the most successful female artists of her generation - a compelling‚ heart-in-the-throat heir to Loretta Lynn and Tammy Wynette. She’s won numerous accolades‚ among them the Academy of Country Music’s Female Vocalist of the Year and the Country Music Association’s Video of the Year for “Born to Fly”. She was named 2006 Female Vocalist of the Year in the R&R Reader’s Poll and has been celebrated as one of People magazine’s “50 Most Beautiful People.”
Evans has earned numerous #1 hits‚ two of which she co-wrote‚ including “Born to
Fly‚” “No Place That Far‚” “Suds In The Bucket” and “A Real Fine Place to Start‚” which spent two weeks at the top of the country charts. Of the five albums Evans has released‚ her sophomore set‚ “No Place That Far‚” has been certified gold; 2001’s “Born to Fly” is double-platinum and 2003’s “Restless” and 2005’s “Real Fine Place” are both platinum.
Such accomplishments have been a dream come true for the Booneville‚ Missouri
native. One of seven children‚ Evans began singing country music with her family’s band when she was five-years-old. By the time she was 16‚ she landed a gig singing regularly at a club in Columbia‚ Missouri. Of course‚ Nashville is Mecca for all aspiring country artists and Evans made her way to Music City determined to realize her dreams. She got her first break when legendary songwriter Harlan Howard heard her amazing voice and tapped her to sing his demos. A deal with RCA Records followed soon after.
Produced by Pete Anderson‚ her debut disc‚ “Three Chords and the Truth‚” earned
praise from critics‚ but it was her second disc‚ “No Place That Far‚” that brought Evans the commercial success to match the critical acclaim. Her next album‚ “Born to Fly” spawned four hit singles‚ which are included on “Greatest Hits” - “I Could Not Ask for More‚” “Saints and Angels‚” “I Keep Looking‚” and the title track.
“It was the first time I ever wrote with Marcus Hummon‚” Evans recalls of penning
“Born To Fly.” “It was basically a biography of my life on the farm - talking to a
scarecrow and dreaming. I had such huge dreams of doing something that nobody where I came from did.”
Evans says “I Keep Looking” is another song that captures who she is and what she’s really about. “That song was more about me just wanting to express my true nature‚ how I am as a person‚” she relates. “I’m totally that way. I keep looking forward and asking how to make things better. What can I do next?”
Always looking to stretch herself artistically‚ Evans has continued to develop her gift as a songwriter. Her fourth album‚ “Restless‚” spawned the hit “Perfect‚” which Evans penned with Tom Shapiro and Tony Martin. The album also featured one of Evans’ signature hits‚ the high-spirited “Suds in the Bucket.” She followed “Restless” with “Real Fine Place‚” which served up four hits singles - “Cheatin’‚” “You’ll Always Be My Baby‚” “Coalmine‚” and the title track‚ which spent two weeks at No. 1.
Writing and recording four new songs for the greatest hits package - songs strong
enough to fit comfortably alongside her already impressive body of work - was a
challenging task‚ but Evans is pleased with the outcome. “I could only choose four
songs‚” Evans says of rounding out the collection with new tunes‚ “but they are exactly the songs that this project needed.”
“As If” is a buoyant exploration of budding romance‚ written by Evans‚ Shanks and
Hillary Lindsey. “We wrote ‘As If’ on the very first day‚” Evans says of working with
Shanks‚ whom she met at the 2006 ACM Awards‚ following her female vocalist win. Her collaboration with the award-winning producer proved very fruitful. She and Shanks cowrote with Aimee Mayo on two new tunes that made it onto “Greatest Hits” - “Love You With All My Heart” and “Pray for You.” Evans‚ Shanks‚ Lindsey‚ and Evans’ brother Matt penned “Some Things Never Change.”
“Love You With All My Heart” is a sexy number that finds Evans tapping into her
sultry side. “This song is just about being in a new relationship. This song is all about attraction‚ really nothing else‚” says Evans. “We wrote the song when Aimee was huge pregnant and it’s funny because when I was huge pregnant‚ she and I wrote another passionate song called ‘Secrets That We Keep’.”
On the other end of the spectrum‚ there’s “Pray for You‚” a poignant ballad about the comforts of family and faith. “That song was very inspired‚” Evans says. “John and Aimee and I were just sitting there and it just sort of flowed out. It was such a blessing to have that song come out. It says I’ve got babies of my own and I’m the one that they are counting on to be here through every little tear and I’ll do the best I can. It talks about calling your mom. I think that’s what all girls do‚ I sure do. So that song is very‚ very special to me.”
Evans says “Some Things Never Change” was her brother Matt’s idea‚ and they
brought it to a writing session with Shanks and Lindsey to flesh it out. The result is an engaging number that celebrates the enduring joys of family and love. “The main feel of that song is love‚” says Evans. The lyrics paint the picture of a family and the daily routines that define every day life.
It’s that ability to write songs that connect with the heart of her audience that has made Evans such a successful artist‚ and it’s her willingness to take risks and embrace a challenge that has widened her following. “Some things just feel right‚” she says‚ citing her participation in ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars.” “It totally‚ totally changed my career. It was one of the best times of my life. I loved it.”
Releasing a Greatest Hits package generally signals the close of one chapter in an
artist’s career and the beginning of a new one. It is often a time for introspection and taking a hard look at the factors that contributed to those hits. Evans humbly credits her success to “luck‚ the kindness of country radio‚ and a good record label.”
Obviously‚ there’s been so much more involved. Sara Evans is a vibrant‚ talented
woman with a distinctive voice and an innate ability to relate to her audience. She’s a songwriter‚ a mother of three‚ and a master at multi-tasking‚ but above all‚ she’s real. It’s that honesty and integrity that resonate throughout her music.

- m4surveys, on 08/30/2008, -2/+10He was at her side everyday in the hospital. She is recovering "nicely" at home now. She'd make him go.
At least he didn't dump her for some new beauty queen arm candy like that other candidate. - brad3378, on 08/30/2008, -6/+12As an Obama supporter, shouldn't you be glad that we're pulling away votes from John McCain?
- inactive, on 08/31/2008, -0/+5:( me too
- inactive, on 08/31/2008, -2/+7You don't have the money to buy a case of Kleenex. Since so many of us will be there someone will know if they ever get delivered which they won't. Hey, keep the lies coming sportsstar67/pajeff/drmagicone you lose credibility with each one and more people are convinced that you are just a teenager who has a need to verbally vomit in Ron Paul threads.
You are so full of BS your font is turning brown.
Be sure and use all of your duplicate accounts to digg me down now. - liberalnurse, on 08/31/2008, -0/+2"Perhaps I stand in the company of few, but at least we are still standing. Are we above the fray? Hardly. We've actually been caught, many times, right smack in the middle of it, and far more often then not, we find ourselves face down in the gutter with someone standing on our back. Yet, even with the sands of the Constitution eroding beneath us and the murky waters of tyranny rising up to our nostrils, WE ARE STILL STANDING." Stand tall in Minnesota for Freedom, Liberty and Dr. Paul.
- Plasmatica, on 08/31/2008, -0/+1Yes, among the same small group of people. The fact is, the average American is afraid of freedom and the implications of it. I'm not trying to be pessimistic, but rather realistic.
