Stand for Peace, Part II

There can never be too much peace in the world

With the success of Paul Rifkin's moving video, Stand for Peace Part I, it was only a matter of time before Paul could mix together another batch of peace loving folks for Part II.

the_kennedys_200Stand for Peace, Part II features Paul's photos & video accompanied by the ballad "Stand", written and performed by the nationally-known American folk-rock band the Kennedys (right).  According to Paul, "They saw Stand for Peace, Part I and offered their song for my project."

The Kennedys (Pete and Maura) are a husband and wife duo, who have toured the country extensively and even played at both of President Clinton's inaugurations.  Visit their official site here.

Once again, Paul has assembled a montage of several folks proudly displaying  a blue button produced by FalmouthPeace.org with a very simple message, "Stand for Peace".

Cape Codders Stand for Peace, Part I

Prominent Cape Codders join with others to Stand for Peace

Videographer Paul Rifkin's latest, Stand for Peace, Part I is a true celebration of spirit andstandforpeace_150 community.  He has assembled a montage of several folks proudly displaying  a blue button produced by FalmouthPeace.org with a very simple message, "Stand for Peace".

Paul has combed the Cape asking people to pose with the little blue button.  Even Senator Ted Kennedy joined in.  And although Stand for Peace, Part I features a lot of smiling faces both young and old, Paul is ready for more--Stand for Peace, Part II is already in the works.

If you are interested in being a part of his next video, email a photograph of yourself to Paul and he will digitally add the button to your image and include it in the follow up web video.

The fund-raising event had hundreds of canine and humans participating in a one-mile walk down the Main Street of Hyannis, a freestyle dance demonstration (dogs dancing), best kisser (dogs again) contest and owner/dog look-alike contest. Much fun was had by all---specially the dogs!
