FADE UP FROM BLACK – A single simple cross.

                                                                PATRIOT (V.O.)

A series of short video clips burst onto the screen like press flash bulbs from 1950, each perspective moving TURBULENTLY and CIRCULARLY around its subject: First, a placard reading “another family for McCain”; Second, a crowd of protesters holding pro-life and McCain signs; Third, an aerial shot of a mega church UNDER:

                                                                 PATRIOT (V.O.) (CON’T)
                               Now it’s happening again. Governor Sarah Palin is
                               running with John McCain as a pro-lifer, who’s
                               church promises to “pray away the gays…”
