Petition from MoveOn to stop the airing of "Path to 9/11"

[man4allcats]

I expect this petition is already circulating here somewhere. Sorry if this is a dupe, but given the circumstances it probably can't hurt to post it again. Of course there's always a little box to add one's optional personal comments to the standard message. Mine were as follows:

"The Path to 9/11" is nothing less than partisan revisionist history and should not be aired. It's sole purpose, even to the timing of its release, is to use woefully distorted propaganda in an effort to influence a regrettably ill-informed electorate in the upcoming Congressional elections. If you air this movie, you will fail in your obligation as a broadcaster to act responsibly toward the viewing public, and it will therefore be necessary for those of us who are informed to launch a campaign to protest the FCC's renewal of your broadcasting license.

Feel free to use or modify them to your liking if you wish.


Edited to clarify title. Also note, with regard to an ill-informed electorate, that Half of America still thinks Iraq had WMDs.

1. I signed it about 20 minutes ago. Made me feel better ...

... but still angry.

2. Could you re-phrase your title?

What I thought it was saying was "don't use this petition" for some reason. It may not be clear to everyone. Thanks!

If you don't mind, if you give it a recommendation, it will be on the Greatest Page and maybe we can get more signatures, that way. Thanks.

14. Gladly signed

I'm glad big operations like moveon do these petitions - a lot of people like me don't have much time to individually write on these issues, and making it easy really helps. Hopefully they're forced to read them all individually.

Added a nice personal memo indicating my thoughts on the subject and my tiring of the non-reporting of real news. I told them I rely on the internet more and more as the quality of corporate news goes lower and lower. I suggested they ask Helen Thomas how to operate a news team. And I wished them good luck finding that blonde girl in Aruba.
