developing a new series about Makers—people with an intense passion for
building all manner of contraptions for all manner of purposes. We’re
currently in the midst of casting characters for the series, and have
been reaching out to various groups in an effort to build a Dream Team
of Makers. Your organization seems pretty dialled in to this community.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

Tell the truth. Be honest. Be responsible to and for yourself.
We want our freedoms back. Strike the illegal legislations called: 1) obamacare, 2) "Patriot (HA!) Act", and 3) 'presidential orders' that affect anyone besides gubmnt worker bees.
Hate crime laws? Really? Thought police? Orwell would be proud.
Every gram of cocaine you buy from elsewhere contributes to an innocent being murdered in Central and South America. Grow your own or Stop taking it.
