AMERICAN MADE IS NOT A THEMED SHOW but we do encourage everyone involed to get creative and show us your take on ''the present state of our fair country." All opinions, ideas and beliefs are welcome and we expect everyone involved to show respect to all subject matter that arises. And I repeat, this is NOT a meeting of politics, so please leave that shit at the door. If you cannot hold yourself in a respectable manner you WILL BE ASKED TO LEAVE!!
