horrendous that I cannot understand anyone dissing this interview --the victim of an epic injustice speaks out -- reminding us of how his election was stolen in the light of day --and then how he, an innocent governor-elect of Alabama ,was imprisoned, placed in solitary confinement, censored...and on and on...all accomplished by Karl Rove and his Alabama connections...

Thom Hartmann is one of the few media people that has followed this story from the beginning...

I listened today and Thom said that the last time Don S was on the phone to his show, they were cut off and the prisoner sent to solitary confinement

Boy if this how Putin treats his stooges, I would hate to get on his bad side

Stop Censorship: Urge Capri Theatre in Alabama to Show Siegelman Documentary Film
Target: Capri Theatre Board of Directors (director@capritheatre.org)
Karl Rove and right-wing operatives hijacked the criminal justice system to send Alabama's Democratic Gov. Don Siegelman to prison, because they couldn't defeat him at the ballot box. Now a new documentary film -- Atticus v. The Architect: The Political Assassination of Don Siegelman -- exposes their corruption.

We need to make sure this film is seen far and wide -- to build public outcry and make sure the criminal justice system is never corrupted in this way ever again.

The next step in that fight is in Montgomery, the state capital of Alabama, where the local independent Capri Theatre backed out of its agreement to show the film, under pressure from some of the same right-wing operatives who railroaded Gov Siegelman in the first place.

Sign our petition to the Capri Theatre Board of Directors now: Urge them to honor their agreement to show this critical documentary. The truth about this right-wing exploitation of our criminal justice system must be heard!

I forget the name. But he said it was on in Alabama.

I signed the petition. Thanks for the link. I plan to view it via Redbox as soon as it becomes available.
