Party With MoveOn This Weekend

I'm definitely going to a local showing. Hope you can too.

Dear MoveOn member,
This Sunday, December 7th, over 2,000 MoveOn members are hosting house parties to screen the new documentary Uncovered: The Whole Truth about the Iraq War. Some of these folks are opening up their homes to other MoveOn members, and you’re invited to attend. You can find a public party in your area and sign up at:

This'll be fun, but it's also really important. Here's a statement from Ambassador Joe Wilson, the man whose wife’s cover as a CIA agent was blown by the White House. Ambassador Wilson, who served as ambassador to Iraq before the first Gulf War, also helped to expose the truth behind the President’s famous assertion that Iraq was seeking uranium in Africa. Here’s why he thinks Uncovered is such an important movie:


War is a blunt instrument reserved for those instances when other, less violent actions cannot achieve our national security goals. In the case of Iraq, as you will see in Uncovered, those other actions were working very well. We did not need to go to war to meet the objectives set forth by the President and the international community in UN Security Council resolution 1441. Intrusive inspections were working just fine.
Going to war with Iraq has not made us safer. On the contrary, there are now several hundred million Muslims who hate us. We are now seen by a world that only two years ago stood by our side, as one of the greatest threats to international peace. 130,000 Americans are sitting ducks in Iraq, being picked off one or two a day, while the Iraqi population becomes more and more hostile to our occupation. And this war of choice on Iraq has kept us from finishing the job in Afghanistan against Al Qaeda and the Taliban.

Uncovered very effectively deconstructs the case for war with Iraq, pointing out the lies and flimsy evidence that underpinned the justification. It is an important work because it goes directly to the credibility of this administration. You will come away wondering whether George W. Bush and his team are worthy of our trust or support. I know where I come down on that question. Others will benefit from this documentary in reaching their own conclusions.

We hope you can make it. Have fun!

Sincerely,
--Carrie, Eli, James, Joan, Noah, Peter, Wes, and Zack

C'mon folks! Check and see if there's a showing in your area and support MoveOn's efforts!

On the evening of December 7th, 2003, thousands of people around the country will gather to watch and discuss the new documentary Uncovered: The Whole Truth about the Iraq War. Together, we'll strengthen the MoveOn community, get the truth out, and raise some money to make sure that people in key battleground states know the real story about how we went to war.

of Chicago. The Inside Out Studios are having a double billing! The first show will be

We will actually be starting the afternoon at 2:00pm... 2:00pm - Screening of CLOWNIN' KABUL, a film by an Italian team of film makers who traveled with the clown care unit of Doctor Patch Adams to Kabul days after the end of hostilities in Afghanistan last year. This moving documentary shows a people bombed into the stone age and a troupe of clown care givers as they try to bring relief in the form of joy and compassion in the wake of war.

This should be interesting.

other sites in the area. I am looking forward to the meeting.

MoveOn is saying there will be over 2100 showings nationwide so I'm sure there'll be one in your area. I was delighted to see one in mine.

Thanks for the info!
