The View From America: Responses to Fahrenheit 9/11
From: http://www.michaelmoore.com/words/latestnews/breakingnews/index.php?id=32

It is six in the morning and the emails are still pouring in. From every town and every state the story is the same. Massive lines, sold out shows, standing ovations. We have done our best to compile these reports from across the country, broken down by state, to share these reactions. There will be photographs from many of these same towns posted tomorrow. Despite the length of this list, it is but a small sampling of the responses you have been sending in and we cannot thank you enough for your kind words. If you are looking for something to do right now, you can always register to vote.

Star-studded, red carpet premieres are fun and all, but these emails and the events they describe--events that took place all across America yesterday--are what this is all about. People are coming together and discussing the situation we face as a country. Read through these, copy them and put them on your blogs, send them to your friends in emails. This reaction is beyond anything we could ever have expected and we thank everyone who went to see the film yesterday and everyone who will see the film in the days and weeks ahead.

1. Moore's website was listed at the end of the movie
right after the credits. If memory serves me, the line before the website was something like "want to help?" The folks behind me took note of it and enthusiastically talked about getting on the site.

This is the best news I've heard in a long time.

One of my favorites:

If you also live in Boston, you might be lucky enough to have received this invitation:

Fahrenheit 9/11: A Republican Style Fundraiser

Come celebrate the opening of Michael Moore's new movie which chronicles the evil doings of our current presidential administration. You will arrive at 7:00 PM in your best attire and be surrounded by exclusive people like yourself. Next, you will be presented with a choice selection of "fine" wines and hor'dourves. After dinner, the group will engage in a Iowa style caucus to determine what organization will receive the proceeds from the event. Finally, you will be whisked a way to Harvard Square to view the 10:30 PM show of Fahrenheit 9/11.



That's funny!

4. funny tale from the heartland and 911Visibiltiy
(I hope it is indicative of how this movie changes hearts and minds)

A friend of mine was handing out the 911Visibility's double sided "invitation" flyers to people going to the show. The manager came out and told him to stop leafletting. He pointed out that he was on a public sidewalk and continued leafletting.
AFTER the movie, this same manager came up and asked him for extra flyers, so he could distribute them himself. Ha!
He said he distributed about 400 and people were very eager for them, with several people asking him for extras.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Michael Moore's website list 911Truth.org as a must see:

Please join 911Truth and 911Visibilty's International
Fahrenheit 9/11 campaign at:

1) DOWNLOAD various visually striking flyers to print
and copy so that you can leaflet the crowd.
(more ideas)

5. Thanks for the link!
Read it all, and am amazed at the response to the film, especially among young people. Hope this energizes more to register and vote, so that we can, indeed, take back this country.
