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

Thanks for info.
It is becoming clearer every day that passes that:
1. the oligarch and it´s representatives, ignorant or liars for profit, are not about to stop doing ANYTHING they do thanks to a few write-ins & demos that are either suppressed deliberately (are you aware that in northern europe there was NO mention whatsoever concerning the mass of americans that have and continue to demonstrate against the illegitimate regime?
why is that, do you think?
2. Our society, american society, is rapidly approaching the revolution so often claimed to be coming by many peoples abroad. They are correct. Our society is polarizing thanks to the deliberate and willfully malicious intention of the oligarch to thwart any/all attempts by the people to reinstate the precepts of the republic.
At this time the republic is on the ropes and you know it.
3. it is high time to take careful note of the identities of the leaders of such organizations as the one of which you speak;
--deliberate coercion/extortion to limit freedom of speech is a crime. Identify and move to indict. They will in all likelihood not be tried, but the effort has to be made because it will impact public opinion and awareness of what the opposition represents and the fact that ALL citizens, irregardless of personal opinion of the moment or creed, WILL suffer their own loss of personal freedom as well as basic human rights.
4. the ante, if you will, is about to be raised.

Georgia, USA, June 2004: Martial law declared to suppress dissent
History shows: Martial law is one step closer to revolution / civil war / class war

I clicked onto the"Stop Michael Moore" page and they've deleted all refernces to the theater listings. Coud we be doing something right? At any rate if you want to contact the theater list and show your opposition to censorship, the list has been copied in an earlier indymedia post. Click on the link for more info.

Martial law only works when enough of the troops go along with it.
History is really clear about this.
