The right has done so much evil done, it is hard to know what to say, let alone what to say first. I totally understand why he has not been able to publicly comment on this the last few days. I was wondering about that and suspected that was the reason, that he was too angry and emotional about it...much like when you suffer a death in the family and can't even talk about it for a few days.

This "Right to Work" law is like a death in the family, the American family.

Moore makes the great point that we can't let the right wing carry on with their Orwellian labels like "Right to Life" when they don't give a DAMN about anyone once they're born (only while they're a fetus) and "Right to Work" when it has nothing to do with protecting workers' rights--just the opposite.

As devastated as he obviously is by this, I hope he can gain his bearings and figure out a way forward. We need him.

of us who don't get it on our cable and who can't afford the cable options that provide it.

I wish Current would make their shows fully accessible on the internet. I have not been able to figure out how to watch them on the internet.

I think cable TV is on its way out and that the internet or a variation of it will be the medium of the future. If Social Security is cut, a lot of seniors will not be able to afford cable at all.

What a wonderful human being.

He is truly heartbroken, as are millions upon millions in this country.

Why does this country never elect leaders as great and intelligent as this man ?

The disappointment I felt when President Obama signed 3 new Free Trade Deals was crushing.

NAFTA and Free Trade deals are a destructive force against this country.

I think the time has passed to start practicing protectionism.

Globalization is great for corporations, Wall Street and CEO's.

It is destructive and harmful to the citizens of the world.

I would like to remind him we would likely not have
Elizabeth Warren in office if not for him introducing
her to many of us through his film.

Moore is a true patriot. He loves this country and has taken
unrelenting abuse and subjected to hatred for his efforts to
warn us of the political mine fields lying ahead.

Republicans are ruthless, treasonous scum and their days are
numbered.

Your ideas as part of a TEAM to undo this nasty Synder et al piece of larceny thinly disguised as "democracy". In the words of brother Jesse, Keep Hope Alive. Really.

on the wages and benefits that flowed thru the auto industry after WWII. They managed to retire and enjoy some of their golden years thanks to what unions fought for. It's DISGUSTING to watch as these hired goons of the wealthy destroy what my folks and many other's shouldered as a shred of dignity and security. I wish for Snyder and accomplices to endure the WORST this world can hand out - THAT'S the reward they've earned - the Devil's compensations.
