All Aces Media is very proud to have worked on the Vote Against Amendment One music video. We were so fortunate to get to work with so many amazing people on this project. Huge thanks to Scott Hicks, Laurelyn Dossett, Molly McGinn, Andy Foster, Greg Monroy and all the other talented musicians who recorded this awesome song. Huge thanks to Kris Hilbert at Legitimate Business for letting us come into the studio to film the video.

Here’s the original video that Andy Coon and myself shot a little over a year ago and Andy recently went back and shot the how to video. Check them out and ENJOY! Happy Holidays!

If your local to Greensboro, NC, take a ride down Ridgeway Drive off Market Street. You will see some of the most beautiful Christmas lights anywhere. Blake and I went over to the Smith’s house and sat down with Jonathan Smith and this is the tale that he told us. It is remarkable how a strand of lights wrapped around chicken wire has brought a community together and is helping food drives for homeless shelters. I hope this message catches on with many communities and spreads the joy to all people.

Shameless plug! We want this to air on Current TV, if we get enough green lights it could air on their network. So please stop by the page and give us a green light. Thanks.
