  Exactly
what did the Founding Fathers believe? The Framers of the United
States of America had a plethera of beliefs. According to John Adams,
“ There were among them, Roman Catholicks, English Episcopalians,
Scotch and American Presbyterians, Methodists, Moravians, Anabaptists,
German Lutherans, German Calvinists, Universalists, Arians, Priestleyans,
Socinians, Independents, Congregationalists, Horse Protestents,
and House Protestents, Deists, and Atheists.” And the Framers
had varying approaches to exploring their spirituality also. Thomas
Jefferson did calculations to show the great flood was impossible.
James Madison researched “life without divine assistance”.
John Adams and Thomas Paine wondered about the possibility of life
on other planets.
  Yes,
the founding fathers belonged to as diverse a society as any the
world had ever seen. This is the backdrop for early American thought.
America’s birth and it’s democracy is a unique story
in the historical parameters of world politics and societies. Earlier
forms of this radically different style of governing had come and
gone, but none had gained the momentum and strength as was created
in colonial America. The Framers were starting from scratch. America
was a new and bold adventure and establishing a government for it’s
people was uniquely shaped and influenced by leaders who were trailblazing
new ways of thinking and new ways of governing. Early America was
a hodge podge of people from all over Europe bearing the philosophies
of many strains of religious and spiritual thought. The framers
of the Constitution mirrored this in the varying philosophies they
proclaimed.
  Messer
Media is proud to present “Faiths of Our Fathers”, a
documentary that explores the different religious and idealogical
beliefs of America’s creators. By their own words and publications,
we will take a close look at what our forefathers believed about,
God, religion, spirituality and the role each of these areas had
in the creation of the Constitution.
  Every
American should know what their forefathers created and the reasons
they formed the Constitution. “Faiths of Our Fathers”
gives an in-depth look at our forefathers approach to religion in
America a way no other documentary has. From personal letters penned
by the framers to interviews with historians, “Faiths of Our
Fathers” will captivate anyone that wants to know just how
rich Americas spiritual heritige really is.

|  On
any given weekend from any given town in America, they pull out
their motorcycles and ride, taking to the highways and backroads
that criss-cross our country. They are executives and blue collar
factory workers. They are doctors and lawyers. They are technicians
and parents, but they are not always men. More and more women are
finding community and thrill by jumping on a motorcycle and taking
to the road.
 Women
on motorcycles have become highly visible and are carving out their
place on the biker scene. Women biker clubs are springing up all
over the country and are making their presence known. They participate
in biker rallies and biker events. They organize and contribute
to charities as well. Women are beginning to embrace a lifestyle
that has, for the most part, long excluded them, or simply minimized
their involvement to being a decorative piece on the back of a bike.
 Come
with us as we ride the great roads of America with women who posess
a unique lifestyle and thrilling perspective of life and travel.
