Let's stop Move America Forward
Move America Forward is the group attempting to pressure movie theater chains to not show Michael Moore's new film, "Fahrenheit 9-11."

If we work together, we can get a message to this group that we do not support their fascist agenda and attempts to suppress free speech.

They can be reached via e-mail at:
info@MoveAmericaForward.org

Move America Forward has also helpfully provided e-mail addresses of theater chain executives. This would be a great time to tell these executives not to give in to Move America Forward's anti-American attempt to suppress the free speech of Michael Moore. Click here for those e-mail addresses.

3. If they get lots of orders for advance tickets
they'll book it longer.

Some theaters are accepting orders already.

I think it's pointless to email MoveAmericaForward. We're not going to change their minds. Besides, they're doing our research for us...

5. Move America Forward? How?
By sticking your friggin' head up your @ss and pretending that all is right with the world.

These repugs have an uncanny ability for co-opting the English language and bastardizing it for exactly the opposite purpose.

Move America Forward = Stick your head up your @ss and ignore reality.

13. I guess they think censorship is progressive
typical of a GOP sham - a shallow surface pretending to be opposite of what it really stands for.

21. These are also the same fine, upstanding, marvelous human beings who
furthered the Recall Gray Davis campaign here in California. GREAT bunch of folks, wouldn't you say?

12. Here's the story on the web site registration.
Originally it was registered to a GOP connected PR outfit. After the story broke on the Internet the WHOIS database entries were changed toute suite. See: www.whatreallyhappened.com/russo.html

11. I emailed 'em
I e-mailed all of the Russo, Marsh, & Rogers people telling them how unAmerican their actions are but have not received a response. What a surprise.

14. people don't understand
NBC should buy the rights and show it commercial free. Fox might be up for the bid after that great review.

17. Howard Kaloogian = #1 A-Hole
Thanks for the http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/russo.html link.

This Howard Kaloogian guy is a real scumbag. About as anti-American as they come. A failed politician who was also behind "Recall Gray Davis", the campaign against the showing of the Reagan miniseries and now "Fahrenheit 9/11".

Why do these right-wingers hate our freedom?

19. Devil's Advocate - Hear Me Out
Let's face it gang. They're exercising their right to free speech too. Sending messages to them telling them they're anti-American will be about as effective as pissing on a forest fire (downwind!). Keep up the e-mails and calls to the theater managers, but telling Kaloogian what you think of him just adds fuel to HIS fire.

Apparently he entered the primary to run for the Senate this year, but lost to Bill Jones, who he has now endorsed. Apparently they want Barbara Boxer's head on a platter.

20. Actually, groups like this can HELP us...
The more they beg for the movie not to be shown, the more theatre executives wonder what they're so scared of.... and then they think of all the people who would want to see this film.... and then they think of profits.... and then they SHOW THE MOVIE.
