Nasty Letters To Crooked Politicians

As we enter a new era of politics, we hope to see that Obama has the courage to fight the policies that Progressives hate. Will he have the fortitude to turn the economic future of America to help the working man? Or will he turn out to be just a pawn of big money, as he seems to be right now.

Right Wing Crazies Decide To Censor Cinema Viewers and Shut Down "FAHRENHEIT 9/11"

Immediate Phone and Email/Fax "Thank You" Campaign Needed!!

STOP THE RIGHT FROM STOPPING FAHRENHEIT 9/11

A right-wing website labelling Michael Moore a "domestic enemy" is rallying conservative activists to stop Michael Moore's new movie. The site's authors write:

why on earth are ANY movie theaters showing this film? “Fahrenheit 9/11” should be shown as a recruiting video for Al-Qaeda, not in our movie theaters.

...then they print contact information for movie theater executives, and call for a full-scale pressure campaign to intimidate them into dropping the film:


We need these executives to be overwhelmed with letters, phone calls and FAXes... in addition to emails. Sending an email alone is not enough – since in some cases an aide can easily click “DELETE.”

The movie is not only thrilling, it's important. Check out the trailer. And then take action to counter the right-wing pressure campaign. Go to the right-wing site and send messages to movie executives registering your support for Fahrenheit 9/11. If we let the reactionaries go unanswered, it could limit the film's message and impact. But if Fahrenheit 9/11 is widely distributed and becomes a hit, that could open the floodgates for other progressive documentaries to gain wide national distribution: movies like The Corporation, Control Room, and The Hunting of the President. And that could have a huge, huge impact on the future of the country.
