FreedomStreams ’08 Fundraiser Raises Nearly $15,000 for Free Speech Coalition

Canoga Park, Calif. – The Free Speech Coalition is pleased to express its deep gratitude to HotMovies.com for its one-day fundraising event – FreedomStreams ’08 –which was held April 15th. This is the third annual FreedomStreams event which accounts now for over $50,000 raised through the generosity of National A-1 Internet (dba, HotMovies.com) and its studios.

FSC would also like to express its profound appreciation to the studios that participated in FreedomStreams ’08. This year’s event is the result of 60 donors, representing 212 brands and studios, participating under the leadership of National A-1 Internet (dba, HotMovies.com). A complete list of participants will be posted on www.freespeechcoalition.com .

“We are truly indebted to HotMovies.com for its third consecutive year of fundraising leadership,” said Scott L. Lowther, FSC Director of Membership Services. “The support of FSC members in helping us to keep up the good fight is essential to our ability to sustain overhead related to our own cost of doing business on behalf of the industry as a whole and, more specifically, our members. When groups of donors and studios band together, each giving a little to create a lot, it’s a win/win for all of us.”

The concept was brilliantly simple: one day (April 15, 2008) was designated during which participating studios donated their HotMovies.com profits to FSC, with HotMovies.com matching the money raised dollar for dollar. The end result was a collaborative partnership that continues to be the largest member-driven fundraising program in FSC’s history.” Said Lowther, “Member generosity and support begets results. We are all in this together.”

“HotMovies is proud to support FSC at this crucial time,” said James Cybert, Director of Business Development. “The Free Speech Coalition always has our back, and it is nothing short of an honor for us to reciprocate. We’d like to thank all of our participating studios and we encourage all content producers to continue to support FSC in all of their important work.”

Posted: 4/29/2008

NEW BERN, N.C. - At approximately 1:15 p.m. today, retailer Greg Sakas and his corporation, Carolina Fantasy Products, Inc. (CFP), filed suit in North Carolina Superior Court against the City of New Bern, where his store, Pure Bliss, is located, as well as city police chief Frank Palombo and two of his detectives, charging that the defendants conspired, under color of law, to deprive Sakas of his right to conduct lawful business in the state, as well as to violate his First Amendment rights under the U.S. Constitution. The suit also seeks an injunction to prevent the city from illegally raiding his store once again, with Sakas having suffered two illegal raids since the spring of 2007. (more)
