Meet Matthias Shapiro, the creator of “10,000 Pennies.”

October 13, 2011 by

Have you seen “10,000 pennies” on YouTube? If you have, you’re one of the 1,637,308 views of the simple but profound look at President Obama’s cynical budget chicanery.

If you haven’t, go become the 1,637,309th view. It’s worth it.

And you could meet him this weekend.

Matthias Shapiro has been a contributor on Fox News regarding job growth in Rick Perry’s Texas, honored by the RNC for providing a rational look at President Obama’s $100 million in budget cuts, and is an entrepreneur and programmer for a fast growing technology company. While a lot of people talk about influencing minds and hearts, Matthias is out doing it…one video at a time.

He’ll be speaking to the Utah Young Republicans on Saturday October 15 at noon. If you’re interested in hearing from him, learning how he does what he does, please join me this Saturday. More details here.
