Text Screen: Believe in America  November 6, 2012.


Notes: This video has a fairly astounding image of people lying in a row in the desert.  One by one, or in small groups, the people get up.  They are holding signs, but don't speak; voiceovers give the message.  After the individual shots, the entire group is shown standing.  Next the signs are shown scattered on the ground; the camera pans up to the sky and the text is added "Believe in America  November 6, 2012" 

It would be nice, perhaps, if policy points were' added at the end with Romney's proposals about how to address the problem.  It would be nice, perhaps, if some policy points were added at the end with Romney's proposals about how to address the problem.
