Al Jazeera picks up Basil Marceaux's OFFICIAL CAMPAIGN AD!

Thanks to my friend Will who helped work on the campaign for forwarding this 2010 electoral ad campaign wrap up news piece that aired on Al Jazeera. The advert I did for Basil is shown about 2 minutes in, and they incorrectly assume that this was paid work : Basil spent no money on the creation of the ad in question, and nobody at Al Jazeera made any attempt to contact me to verify their statements. Our budget for this entire election was 0$ because Basil does not believe in taking contributions. This has been one of his basic stances for awhile - the cycle of political contributions for in office payoffs and backroom promises is something we were trying to break with this movement.

Either way, thank you Al Jazeera for picking up on all our hard work, it's just too bad you cant be bothered to actually get facts from people... actual journalism must be really hard.

Basil hosts the 2nd Haunted Block Party on 10/30/2010




Basil Marceaux was in Nashville to host the 2nd Annual 12th Ave Haunted Block Party featuring The Ying Yang Twins! Hoping to garner votes just DAYS before the 2010 Governors race, Basil hosted the massive event and spoke to a crowd of over 2000 party goers. Nature Films was there to document the spectacle as Basil addressed the attendees, repeating his promise to make them freer after the election than they had ever been before, and continuing his hardline stance against slavery at traffic stops! He then went on to introduce the Ying Yang twins who kept the costumed crowd crunk for the rest of the night. His lovely wife Kitana was also in attendance, and the dashing couple went as Mr and Ms Lincoln. Michael Love of Nature Films played the role of John Wilks Booth, but was wrestled to the ground by security when he attempted to enact the famous proceedings that night at Ford Theatre.

















Thank you to Jim O'Shea and everyone at Happy Valley for the event, and more pictures of Basil and the Twins coming soon!

Debate Part One

This is the debate, presented in 12 parts on Woodshop Films youtube channel. We would like to formally thank Howard Sweitzer and June Griffin for attending, as well as Bryan Deese for hosting and moderating. But overall we would like to support everyone who attended and made this independent political debate the talk of the Tennessee electoral season! We garnered national attention for 3rd party politics and I think everyone involved, no matter which side of the political see-saw you prefer, can agree we went great lengths to showcase the wide variety of the Tennessee Political scene. Thank you from everyone at the campaign office once again!

Basil Marceaux gives concession speech

A PERSONAL STATEMENT

It has come to question my level of sincerity in Mr Marceaux’s campaign I would like to address the more serious accusations that I am somehow exploiting Basil or makng a joke of this. This contempt for Basil combined with a complete lack of respect for our Libertarian stance in the liberal community leads people to think anyone who sides with him is either crazy or using him. The fact is I know Basil isn’t backed by Oil interests or Senate connections or anything but his word means a lot to me, and I decided Basil needed a viable outlet to get his views out. True I do not agree with everything he says, particularly his stances on religion and immigration, but that is pretty much how it goes around here with any politician. I decided to lend what very little free time I have, seeing as I am bedridden nearly two thirds of every day, to helping Basil in every way as a politician. It wasn’t much, as my injuries don’t allow me to do anything as well as I use to, but I did what little I could to help get his message out. I have done everything with his whole families blessing, and have been personally thanked by his sons for the videos I put out with Basil. I have gained nothing personally or financially, I have just sought to help someone promote their ideas to the best of my current ability, in an extremely weakened state. I would like to ask that any personal attacks on me and my family stop, as they are in poor taste. Thank you to all the believers in the cause of freedom and liberty!



Also Basil Will be releasing a concession speech shortly. Thank you.
