A grassroots movement started in northern New Mexico by eleven elders aged 53 to 94 urge other elders to talk to their kids. These Young Elders want to serve their country and offer President Obama optimism, valuable insights and wisdom. Watch it to the end when their sign tells even more about them. If you want to join this movement, write to ellen@howtogrowyounger.com for Word docs for the two signs - then cut and paste onto foam board, gather your elder friends, take a video, and spread it around.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/59536-obamagrandmama-and-young-elders-for-obama">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/55563-elders-for-obama-on-mccain 2008-11-22T04:42:56Z dantilson <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/o8sgwFItpu8&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/o8sgwFItpu8&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/55563-elders-for-obama-on-mccain"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/67346" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Another offering from Tilson Films project, <a href="http://eldersforobama.com.">eldersforobama.com.</a> Here, Elders express concerns about the prospect of a McCain presidency and more Republican rule.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/55563-elders-for-obama-on-mccain">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/55562-elders-for-obama-on-israel-jewish-vote 2008-11-22T04:42:56Z dantilson <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/JHh8nWJbh5Y&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/JHh8nWJbh5Y&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/55562-elders-for-obama-on-israel-jewish-vote"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/67345" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Another film from <a href="http://eldersforobama.com">eldersforobama.com</a> a Tilson Films project.

The idea is to help overcome the fears and doubts of many older white voters by cutting through the mainstream media and commercial clutter and letting senior Obama supporters speak directly to their peers. No fancy production values or slick graphics, just seniors sitting in their kitchens and living rooms, sharing heartfelt insights about what's at stake in this election. Please check out the other "Elders On..." films, and keep visiting the website for new films and special guests.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/55559-elders-for-obama">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/55558-elders-for-obama-special-guest 2008-11-22T04:42:55Z dantilson <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/3hmgVwoQQWs&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/3hmgVwoQQWs&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/55558-elders-for-obama-special-guest"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/67341" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Highlights from powerful, important recent speech delivered by U.S. Senator Charles Schumer (Dem-NY), at a synagogue in Boca Raton, Florida on September 7th, 2008, taped and edited with permission, by Tilson Films Inc.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/55558-elders-for-obama-special-guest">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/55557-elders-for-obama-on-the-economy 2008-11-22T04:42:55Z dantilson <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/NnvRWJ9POEs&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/NnvRWJ9POEs&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/55557-elders-for-obama-on-the-economy"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/67340" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>New elders join the group for some genuine Straight Talk about the state of the American Economy, the plight of the middle class, and what's at stake in the presidential election.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/55557-elders-for-obama-on-the-economy">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/26198-key-role-for-afghan-elders-in-khost-23-jan-08 2008-10-18T03:30:23Z aljazeera <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Q_QTsZUHAgc&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Q_QTsZUHAgc&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/26198-key-role-for-afghan-elders-in-khost-23-jan-08"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/28207" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Lying close to Afghanistan's border with Pakistan, Khost is relatively stable compared to the more troubled south.
