The Slacker Uprising Tour. by Michael Moore.
I just got word He is hitting the swing states and will go to arenas to show his movie, free, sign up virgin voters. Move on and Act will join him. It will be a 20 state, 60 city tour. He is #1 on get out the vote if he does as well as he says. He says most of them are sold out due to advanced notice. He is giving out prizes. What a true friend and comrade we have.

16. I heard Oct. 12 for Del Mar.
I checked the Del Mar Fairgrounds site and they don't have it up yet. San Diego Union-Tribune said it's Oct. 12. MM's site doesn't have exact date either. I'm getting tickets through my cousin who works at CSUSM. At least THEN I'll know the right date! DU'ers should get together there. :)

22. What the hell is Wrong with the
"president of CSUSM"?

The Del Mar Fairgrounds should be a beautiful place to be, though!
Lucky You, frylock! :toast:

5. Last night I dreamed Michael Moore was dead.
Seriously. I was so glad to see this post this morning.

(Before I went to bed, I must have been thinking about how high we all were when F-9/11 opened and it seemed like things were going our way ... and now ... some days it's hard to look at the news. So I dreamed Moore was dead, because that hope is sometimes dormant).

8. Ya Know...
Once this shit election is over and we retake control of our government, Michael Moore needs to be held up and praised for what he has done thru out this entire sick episode. This man has done more then anyone to save our great country from the grip of fascism.

This is where true bravery and courage are shown. He runs into the face of intimidation and threat when others do everything they can to run away. Without sounding like a cornball or trying to go over the top, we should all be beyond grateful for his deep love of the REAL United States of America and the American people!

9. I agree with you, he receives numerous death threats almost
daily and has even hinted that he might not survive this election and yet he continues non stop his fight to end the tyranny of this administration.

He should definately be honored as one of the most fearless and most patriotic of Americans having faced such incredible odds and yet he still fights..for all of us, he is surely not a selfless man...

21. Yes, I agree about the True Friend and
Comrade! Anyone who doesn't like Michael Moore by now has got to be hurting from all the truth he is getting out to the American public!
