Will You Help Me With My Next Film? ...a request from Michael Moore


Friends,

I am in the middle of shooting my next movie and I am looking for a few brave people who work on Wall Street or in the financial industry to come forward and share with me what they know. Based on those who have already contacted me, I believe there are a number of you who know "the real deal" about the abuses that have been happening. You have information that the American people need to hear. I am humbly asking you for a moment of courage, to be a hero and help me expose the biggest swindle in American history.

All correspondence with me will be kept confidential. Your identity will be protected and you will decide to what extent you wish to participate in telling the greatest crime story ever told.

The important thing here is for you to step up as an American and do your duty of shedding some light on this financial collapse. A few good people have already come forward, which leads me to believe there are many more of you out there who know what's going on. Here's your chance to let your fellow citizens in on the truth.

If you have any info that would help, please contact me at my private email address: [e-mail].

For the rest of you on my email list who don't work in the financial industry, you're probably wondering, "What the heck is this all about? I thought he said he was making a romantic comedy!"

Well, I just can't say much right now. I'm sure you can understand why. One thing I can tell you is that you're gonna like this movie when I'm done with it. Oh, yeah...

So, again, if you work for a bank, a brokerage firm or an insurance company -- or if you have seen things or heard things that you believe the American people have a right to know -- please contact me at [e-mail].

Thank you in advance for your help!

Yours,
Michael Moore

4. Remember. The shrubs bro was central to the S&L scandle when GHWB was prez

6. He was about to be indicted when, lo and behold, Saddam

invaded Kuwait and all that crap started. It did not seem coincidental at the time.

7. And as usual, GHWB and allies were there to protect one of his miscreant sons.....

9. Guess the economy was bad to him, too.

He's now begging the rich people...whom he intends to crucify...for money to finance his next film. Does anyone see anything wrong with that?

Yes, he isn't asking for multi-millions or any of the crap CGI that jerks like Michael Bay and Jerry Bruckheimer put in their films. But as a small-scale indie, he's suffering what even more indies suffer.

Maybe he should get himself a couple of $250 camcorders with FireWire interfaces, a good computer and an editing program, and make it on video for cheap in his trailer bedroom. And no, that is not sarcasm. That's how movies are being made outside of Megacorporation Hollywood these days.
