/PRNewswire/ -- As part of its ongoing effort to renew and deepen appreciation of liberty in America, Liberty Central opened a video contest this week giving its 200,000 activists the opportunity to win an all-expenses paid trip to Washington, D.C. to join Liberty Central staff, including President and CEO, Ginni Thomas, at the 2nd Annual March on D.C. on September 9-12, 2010. Activists have until August 29, 2010 to submit a video no longer than 90 seconds that creatively portrays how they, along with family, friends, and colleagues, experience liberty in America or are expressing love for their liberty.
"We're getting our liberty on here at Liberty Central, and we're anticipating cool, creative videos from American citizens celebrating the joys of this important gift from our Founders," said Thomas.
Activists are encouraged to channel singer-songwriter Scott Leigh, who wrote and produced a song for Liberty Central entitled "Get Your Liberty On" to kick off the contest. Scott's video exemplifies why creative expression--one of the many blessings of liberty--is so important. Watch his video here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqcDy_gjJ20.
Liberty Central lends several freedom-inspiring illustrations to help stir ideas, including a home video of a family's trip to our nation's historical sites, a concerned citizen at a town hall asking tough questions and demanding accountability from his representative, a new American citizen explaining her feeling of newfound liberty, and a testimonial from a military veteran about fighting for liberty. Liberty Central hopes that the contest will inspire activists to tenaciously defend this precious gift from our Founding Fathers, along with the principles of free enterprise, national security, limited government, and personal responsibility, at the 2010 March on D.C. events and beyond.
After the contest closes on August 29, the winner will be announced on September 2 via email and on www.libertycentral.org/. The winner will receive a roundtrip ticket from his or her hometown to Washington, D.C., a hotel room for September 9-12, Patriot Passes to all March on D.C. events from Sept 9-12, including the Remember the Ladies Banquet (open to men and women), the Liberty XPO & Symposium and VIP reception, and $200 for purchasing food, tips, and other incidentals. He or she will also march with the Liberty Central staff down Constitution Avenue to VIP seats at the March on D.C. rally following a memorial ceremony on September 11. Videos must include the spoken or written phrase "Get Your Liberty On" and direct viewers to www.LibertyCentral.org.
Liberty Central, Inc. is a non-profit organization that equips citizen leaders to lobby for liberty.

Religious Freedom Day, 2009
A Proclamation by the President of the United States of America
Religious freedom is the foundation of a healthy and hopeful society. On Religious Freedom Day, we recognize the importance of the 1786 passage of the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom. We also celebrate the first liberties enshrined in our Constitution's Bill of Rights, which guarantee the free exercise of religion for all Americans and prohibit an establishment of religion.
Our Nation was founded by people seeking haven from religious persecution, and the religious liberty they found here remains one of this land's greatest blessings. As Americans, we believe that all people have inherent dignity and worth. Though we may profess different creeds and worship in different manners and places, we respect each other's humanity and expression of faith. People with diverse views can practice their faiths here while living together in peace and harmony, carrying on our Nation's noble tradition of religious freedom.
The United States also stands with religious dissidents and believers from around the globe who practice their faith peacefully. Freedom is not a grant of government or a right for Americans alone; it is the birthright of every man, woman, and child throughout the world. No human freedom is more fundamental than the right to worship in accordance with one's conscience.
Religious Freedom Day is an opportunity to celebrate our legacy of religious liberty, foster a culture of tolerance and peace, and renew commitments to ensure that every person on Earth can enjoy these basic human rights.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim January 16, 2009, as Religious Freedom Day. I call on all Americans to reflect on the great blessing of religious liberty, endeavor to preserve this freedom for future generations, and commemorate this day with appropriate events and activities.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirteenth day of January, in the year of our Lord two thousand nine, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-third.
GEORGE W. BUSH
