Lewis Schaeffer Continues to Stun Real Americans

Lewis Schaeffer Continues to Stun Real Americans as he continues to sing a variety of proud patriotic songs Tea Party’s and others.

At a recent Douglas County Tea Party Event in early June, 2010, Lewis stood in line with others to ask Herman Cain a question and instead decided to sing what was originally recognized as the second verse to the National Anthem and was later correctly identified as the last stanza. Little did anyone expect that the video, which was recorded by the husband and wife team identifying themselves as secularstupidest, would go into viral status virtually overnight.

Tea Party Member Stuns Crowd!

In the week that followed, Lewis, the singing Marine, was featured on FOX news a couple of times and quickly booked by others for additional performances around the country. Horse Pens 40 Park, owned by Howard Shultz, was quick to book Lewis for their July 3rd family event where Lewis will be singing for the park attendees. Details can be found in the events area of a facebook fan page set up for Lewis.

Mr. Schaeffer will also be performing and attending an event in Des Moines, Iowa on July 4th from 6PM-8PM on the West side of the Capitol.

Recently Lewis entertained a candid interview with the family of, secularstupidest, where Lewis really reveals who he is as revealed in the following statements by, secularstupidest:

On a Sunday afternoon I took the drive, with two of my daughters, to Douglas County, GA, to spend some time with Lewis. He was funny, sincere, thoughtful, and remarkably transparent. I asked him many questions, heard the remarkable story of his journey from tragedy to peace, and was profoundly blessed to experience the spiritual power of his native, rare talent. He is able, with no mechanical props and no preparation, to use the greatest of all instruments, the human voice, with raw beauty I have never experienced.

Many assumptions have been made about Lewis, the marine who stunned a tea party crowd, and, thanks to the web, massive numbers of people across the world, with his intense rendition of our national anthem’s fourth verse. The three minute video has been, in its own right, something of a cultural crucible, provoking wildly divergent reactions and assumptions about Lewis, the Tea Party movement in general, the relationship between religion and politics, and more. With Almost 10,000 comments made on the video, it that many have formed hasty and inadequate assumptions of Lewis and the Tea Party.

Secularstupidest also states,

I’ve been involved with the Tea Party movement since the beginning and, as far as I remember, Lewis is the most devout Christian I’ve met. The fact is, the Tea Party movement is not and never has been about establishing any religion into our political system. But neither is it hostile to religious expression among citizens in or out of political office. The Douglas County Tea Party, the day Lewis first sang, was probably 97% free of explicit religious content, not because they were politically correct, but because they provided a platform from which all types of expression could freely flow, and the speakers said what they wanted to say. It is not freedom, if religious speech is censored.

See Lewis’ interview in the video below and enjoy getting to know the great man that he truly is.

To add to this, Lewis also entertained the family with his singing of the song, “Statue of Liberty” as seen below.
