Dundee, IL May 23, 2011 - Blood of Patriots, the latest film from the Producer/Director team of Gary Franchi and William Lewis, is now available announces Franchi. This new documentary focuses on the history and significance of the Bill of Rights, and its ever-important connection to the Articles of power, and how understanding the two is vital for every person living in the United States.
Blood of Patriots delves into what our Forefathers were thinking as they debated the necessity of a Bill of Rights, their thoughts on the Constitution as the only protection the new country would ever need and visits legislation and Supreme Court decisions, right or wrong, that have shaped our political landscape.
“There is so much going on these days, especially as our politicians run rough shod over our rights, that we feel the need to get back to our true roots. How did our Founding Fathers see this new land playing out? That is what we need to be considering going forward,” says Franchi, the films associate producer. Supported by the thoughts of our founding generation, the new film, written by Debbie Lewis, covers each of the Bill of Rights, what they mean for the population and what the very people sworn to protect them have done to subvert them.

In the interview, which can be seen here, Hayworth introduces herself and seems articulate and happy to do the interview. After Franchi asks his question about her vote and position on the PATRIOT Act extensions, she appears to be stumbling for words as to her reasons for voting for them. As Franchi points out the reprehensible nature of some of the PATRIOT Act provisions, she seems to simply brush it off.
The “About” page of her own website for Congress states that in 2009 Hayworth was seeking to make use of her experience “and her conviction that our Constitutional freedoms must be defended and promoted” to return power to “Americans burdened by an overwhelming federal government.” Her vote for the PATRIOT Act extensions, a totally unconstitutional bill, says otherwise.
“If every American familiarizes him or herself with the Bill of Rights and our Constitution, we would all recognize the egregious behavior of our representatives, giving each of us the ability to call them on their bad decisions. If they heard from a large chunk of their constituency every time they voted in an atrocious way, our representatives would realize we have our eyes on them and we are serious about our own future freedoms,” Franchi stated.
Northbrook, IL, June 1, 2011 – We are in a fight for our lives and the alarms have been sounded. Blood of Patriots delves into the thoughts of our Forefathers as they passionately debated the necessity for an enumeration of individual rights. The film focuses on the history and significance of the Bill of Rights, the importance of the Articles of Power from our beloved Constitution, and emphasizes how understanding these cherished parts of our history is vital to the survival of our freedom and the powerful roll these rights play in the present and future liberty of every person living in the United States.
This film covers topics like:
* The Federal choke-hold on the freedom of church’s to speak out politically
* The National Debt and Future Generations
* The Presidential Advance Manual’s tormenting of protesters
* Do more guns equal more crime?
* “Right to Privacy” and its relevance
* Significance of rights to fair court proceedings
* Federalist James Madison’s shift in favor of a bill of rights
* Recent 10th Amendment Power Grabs by federal government
…and so much more. Landmark Supreme Court cases and legislation, some passed shortly after the Constitution and Bill of Rights were ratified, and more, support the belief that our country has been descending into despotic times for quite some time.
Blood of Patriots, the much-anticipated new film from William Lewis and Gary Franchi, officially hits the market today. The film is the tenth politically charged documentary, including Beyond Treason, Washington, You’re Fired, Don’t Tread On Me and Camp FEMA, by award-winning independent filmmaker William Lewis.
Lewis commented on his choice of subjects, “Unfortunately, there is no shortage of information out there to be exposed. With several of the most recent court decisions, from Indiana state allowing police to your home at their own discretion, with no warrant, to the Supreme Court’s decision to allow law enforcement entry into your home, simply on suspicion of wrong-doing, with no warrant, to the recent extension of key PATRIOT Act provisions, just to name a few, we have got to make people aware of why this country was founded and why it is so important to get back to that vision of freedom.”
Written by Debbie Lewis, the new film is inundated with quotes from our founding generation and covers each of the Bill of Rights, what they mean for the population and what the very people sworn to protect them have done to subvert them. “Taking a look at specific pieces of recent legislation, as well as some key past legislation, you can see the pattern of sabotage brought on by our own representatives; the very people we are supposed to trust,” says the film’s writer. She continues, “There is everything to gain by awaking the population to the destruction of our Founder’s dream of a people free of oppression and tyranny.”
Franchi, the film’s Associate Producer, stated, “There is so much going on these days, especially as our politicians run rough shod over our rights, that we feel the need to get back to our true roots. How did our Founding Fathers see this new land playing out? That is what we need to be considering going forward.”
Blood of Patriots officially hits the market June 1st, 2011. For more information about the film, and to view the trailer, visit http://BloodofPatriotsFilm.com
Blood of Patriots: Learning From History…The Sedition Act
by Debbie Lewis
Northbrook, IL June 6, 2011 – A hero to many, Federalist John Adam was considered a significant Founding Father and was also the new country’s second President. Having fought for our freedoms and participated in the forming of our new nation, a few of the things he did after taking office should significantly offend all liberty loving Americans.
Brought to light in the newly released film, Blood of Patriots, in 1798, just seven years after the ratification of the Bill of Rights, Adams signed into law the egregious Alien and Sedition Acts. For some, this set of laws was seen as protection from people living in the US from countries with which the US was possibly heading to war. For others, it was a stab at the very freedoms they held so dear. “It is unfathomable that only seven years after the Bill of Rights was ratified, a President of the United States would act in such an irrational manner,” states Gary Franchi, the film’s associate Producer.
The Jeffersonians saw the Sedition Act was an attempt to keep people from opposing the government. The “Act for the punishment of certain crimes against the Untied States,” prohibited speaking out, in any form, “with intent to defame,” to bring the US government, the President and/or either house of Congress “into contempt or disrepute” OR to cause the population to hate or to “stir up sedition” for opposing or resisting any law of the United States…any act of the President…or to resist, oppose or defeat any such law or act…” It seems hardly possible after the debates surrounding the vital role of our freedom of speech and press.
Thomas Jefferson, who defeated the one-term Adams for the presidency in 1800, said the Sedition Act violated not only the 1st Amendment, but the 10th Amendment, as well, making the Sedition Act, “altogether void.” The laws prompted Jefferson to draft the Kentucky Resolution and aided James Madison in the writing of the Virginia Resolution. Simply put, Jefferson’s Kentucky Resolution states that “the several states…are not united on the principle of unlimited submission to their general government” and that the states had every right, as individual governing bodies, to abstain from following “undelegated powers” by the central government if they were not found in the Constitution.
“Thomas Jefferson understood the Constitution and acted promptly to call out Adams on his deplorable behavior,” says filmmaker William Lewis. This early example of the attempt to usurp protected freedoms of the new population and the determination of the men dedicated to preserving our liberties is a clear sign that We-the-People must stay vigilant to protect our rights and freedoms. Blood of Patriots concludes by re-asserts all the rights given to the population in the Bill of Rights.
Columbia, MO June 13, 2011 – Just in time for all of your Independence Day celebrations, filmmakers William Lewis and Gary Franchi are announcing $5 off of their new film, Blood of Patriots. What better way to spend the hot part of July 4th than to be indoors watching a film about the history of our Bill of Rights?
Blood of Patriots is the next in a vast array of tools, in the form of documentaries, which are designed to help educate your friends, neighbors and sometimes even yourself, with information in the fight for our freedoms. This is the fourth collaboration between Lewis and Franchi.
The film explores the thoughts of our founding generation as they argued and debated the documents that shape our country’s government. Why did our Founders feel the need to expressly point out the rights for freedom of speech, press, religion, the ability to own a firearm and fair trials? What was the purpose of the right to hold provisions not expressly granted to the government in the Constitution for the people and the many states? What have the different branches of government done to protect, or usurp, those rights? You might be surprised to find out how early the tyranny against We-the-People started!
Columbia, MO June 30, 2011 – Blood of Patriots, the new release by William Lewis and Gary Franchi, has officially been out a little more than a week, but already the team is receiving positive feedback.
“…it was done so well, I had to watch the entire movie twice. You folks are getting like JPFO, great movies and hit the nail on the head by telling the TRUTH.” – Richard Evey
Why? Blood of Patriots doesn’t just look at the Bill of Rights, it examines how a country bent on freedom for all ended up here, with freedoms being stripped away almost daily.
The film explores Supreme Court decisions that, as far back as 1819, began the Judicial Branch’s erosion of our liberties. Blood of Patriots points out egregious legislation passed into law by our Legislative Branch, which has gutted major natural rights, as well as many of our precious Bill of Rights. The film discusses the tyrannical behavior of the Executive Branch, as President Obama supports legislation that would encroach on your medical privacy, the heavily redacted Bush, Jr era Presidential Advance Manual and its significance to protesters and free speech zones, President John Adams support of the Alien and Sedition Acts which infringed, not only on the 1st Amendment, but also the 10th, and much more.
Blood of Patriots relies heavily on quotes from our founding generation, as well as a few from our not to distant past, to paint a picture of a very limited central government and a country with a population that would be capable of self governing.
“This is a different kind of film. It proves, through the very words of our Founding Fathers, that our massive government is out of control,” states Lewis. “Blood of Patriots shows the erosion of prized rights, almost from the beginning,” says Franchi.
Columbia, MO July 5, 2011 – Concerned about the direction in which our country is headed? Looking for ways to help inform your family, friends, neighbors and community? Need extra tools to aid you in your fight for freedom? With election campaigns getting it into high-gear, we need to be ready to help educate those around us.
