Michael Mandaville |
|
Filmmaker, Writer,
Activist
Michael Mandaville is an
activist, filmmaker, and
writer. His interests in
history, politics,
warfare, and technology
led him to write a book
on fighting the growing
threat of Radical Islam
in the Information Age:
the
Citizen Soldier Handbook:
101 Ways For Every
American To Fight
Terrorism.
Working with political
organizations, he
creates media to use
during their campaigns.
He created videos for
the Children of Jewish
Holocaust Survivors Los
Angeles (CJHSLA.org) to
push California's Bill
AB 221, which would
prohibit the investment
of state pension funds
in companies that do
business with Iran.
Michael testified at the
L.A. City Council about
the need to deny funding
to Iran. His videos have
appeared at Washington
D.C.'s GI Film Festival
and Frank Gaffney's
DivestTerror.org. He
line produced the short,
"The Iraq Study Group,"
directed by David Zucker
("Airplane", "Scary
Movie"). He also
directed the political
short, "Winning the
Race."
Mandaville's first
novel,
Stealing Thunder,
was recently published.
He has directed
commercials, shorts, and
documentaries.
Currently, he is putting
the finishing touches on
two more novels: a drama
entitled Journey and a
Parisian thriller, A
Cold Death, as well as a
non-fiction book about
working on an Arabic
language comedy in
Egypt.
You can find out more
about Michael Mandaville

SFVRC Business Roster |

Do Business with
fellow Republicans
In these tough economic
times we have decided to
help each other out
economically.
We are preparing a
business roster of
Republicans for SFVRC
members. This will be
merged with a
county-wide business
directory that is being
prepared by LA County
Republican Clubs.
We are encouraging all
of our members to
patronize the businesses
of our fellow members
and Republicans. If you
need goods and services,
why not have them
provided by your fellow
Republicans?
For those of you who
would like to have your
business listed in our
business directory,
please send an email to:
BUSINESS@SFVRC.ORG
. Provide your name,
the name and street
address of your
business, your business
phone number, your
business web site
address, and your email
address. Also provide a
description of the
services you provide or
the type of goods you
sell.
We would like to publish
this directory by May,
so please send in your
information. Send an
email to
