Michael Moore's film Farenheit 911 to be Censored?!

by Steve D~
CENSORSHIP OF MICHAEL MOORE'S FILM, FARENHEIT 911?!!

NOT IF YOU CAN SAY SOMETHING~ AND SPEAK UP TO HELP!

Folks, there's a website called 'moveamericaforward.org' with Republican ties that list all theater owners who are preparing to show Michael Moore's new film, 'Farenheit 911'. They are asking folks to call or write the theaters and have them 'pull' the film from viewing to the public.

Yes, that's right, they don't want you to see this controversial, anti-Bush/anti-war film! They want folks to ask theater owners to CENSOR the film under veiled threats of boycott, pressure tactics, and other measures.

DON'T LET THEM DO THIS. LET DEMOCRACY HAVE IT'S WAY. Every citizen should have the right to see-- or not see-- this film, as they choose. Do not let the choice be taken away from the public.

There is something you can do-- and quite frankly, Michael Moore can use your help-- and publicity.

Go to the Moveamericaforward.org website, locate the 'stop Michael Moore' header, and find the theater owners website listed. Tell them you WANT to see the film and not BOW DOWN to CENSORSHIP. THANK THEM for showing the film.

(A 'copy and paste' approach will let all the theater owners listed know your opinion in about 15 minutes. If we all did this, we can counter this 'negative' effort to ban Michael's film).

Michael Moore-- and democracy-- need your help to thwart this repressive tactic to pull the film from theaters and the public.

~and please DO see the film. It looks good!

(please send this letter/strategy to your friend or post elsewhere, if you can. Really, folks, Michael Moore does need our help).

Peace,
Steve D~
