About me - Patrick Henningsen

aboutme

A multimedia artist and graduate of Applied Art & Design from California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, CA. Since 2000 has set-up and run successful Events and Public Relations businesses in Europe.

I believe strongly in Freedom of Speech, intelligent discussion, freedom of ideas and creative expression, using writing and the arts to support these, giving much needed support to the founding principles behind the United States Constitution and its universal Bill of Rights.

The conversation begins at home, at work, at the cafe, at parties, on the street... so start talking!

Getting families to willingly send their children off to protect big business interests and fight an illegal war is the ultimate form of State control over a populace.
