DISQUS

Lynn · 1 year ago

Bravo! Michael you have done it again! As a Canadian, I have been a spectator during the last two elections, and was shocked that John Kerry did not get elected by a landslide. I hope the American people are smart enough to get it right this time.

Too bad there aren't more journalists like you.

Alice M. Heath · 1 year ago

Michael, you HAVE done it again. As a Canadian, I'm appalled by how many people you've sucked in. I hope the American people are smart enough to see through it this time. Too bad you aren't actually a journalist.

Eleanor · 1 year ago

Thank god. You are not an American, but sorry for Canada.

Fellow Canadian · 1 year ago

What are you talking about?? His film is about his experience on trying to register more voters. And we already know he is liberal.

As a Canadian you are by definition a liberal. You have universal healthcare, welfare, affordable university education, Canadian pension. Things that Americans don't have or a losing. So please tell me what you like about America. Of course things can be improved in Canada, but I like the fact that we think of helping others and not just thinking about ourselves.

I would think that Americans would vote for Obama to get national healthcare since it looks like everyone is going to be out of a job soon!

As a United States citizen, I couldn't possibly agree with you more. Every time health care becomes an issue, the conservative echo chamber starts screaming and crying, "liberal!! Socialist!!!" then nothing gets done and the rich continue to buy the politicians (McCain + Keating) and empty the treasury for their own selfish means. (Lehman and cronies, congressional hearings, 10-6-08).

We can only pray to the Infinite Being that the citizenry has grown smarter, but it isn't over until it is over and the judge has signed the order.there are a percentage of people that will believe anything, and there are far too many people who hate blacks in this country. Because of their limited mental capacity, they will use that as a promary criteria for their vote.

There is NO EXCUSE in my opinion, for not taking care of those unable to take are of themselves. I admire Canada and the socialist countries for having the basic human dignity of not losing sight of what is important, and putting others before "ME".

That is the one thing I truly despise about my country.

dara · 1 year ago

I attended the Del Mar, California event in 2004. It was an incredibly moving experience, and I thought for sure we would defeat Bush. Now the young voters in America have another chance at taking the country back, and it really is in your hands. I have faith in you to do what's right, vote, and get Bush, McBush, and all the rest out of office. This film is hard for me to watch without crying. I have so much hope, yet the thought/threat of another term of thieves in the government really scares me. Listen to Uncle Mike. VOTE! VOTE! VOTE!

I consider Michael Moore the Hubble of the United States political landscape. Like the Hubble telescope, he puts politics in high definition view. He shows us the truth and backs it up with proof in the form of videos and signed documents. I come from a large family that, because of religion, tend to lean towards the Republican party. I keep a dialogue going with all my friends and relatives that are Republicans. One of my arguments uses the Hubble Space Telescope as an example of political vision. What was once only viewed by angels can now be seen by man because of this amazing device. I ask that they get a high definition view of the political landscape by reading, viewing and attending events that will supply them with the most honest views. Michael Moore's are the best in doing this. I have managed to convince some of them to vote for Obama because they watched some of Michael Moore's films. I will continue to do the same and, knowing they will not see lies, deceit or theory, they will see the truth in high definition. Michael Moore is an angel indeed.

Why don't you just get on your knees and worship him?
Micheal Moore's films are biased.
Take for instance this latest film.
Can you seriously claim it isn't?

Ken · 1 year ago

seeouterspace · 1 year ago

You sound like a Democrat who is bitter over losing two presidential elections in a row. Seriously you couldn't even produce anything better then Bush in 2004? Just sad. Democratic Presidential candidate version 2008 isn't much better.

Ramona Graham · 1 year ago

Barack Obama is actually an amazing candidate. Easy just to make generic proclamations without really saying anything. Obama has electrified millions of people. He moves people and inspires them to greatness. And he's famous for being able to work with both sides, so he represents not a partisan victory but an American victory! Got Obama!

Watch my Pro Obama music videos on youtube!

Ramona Graham · 1 year ago

This is a biographical film made by Michael Moore about his own tour. Do you want a Madonna tour video to feature, say... Frank Sinatra?

This isn't pretending to be a news channel, like Fox.

Watch my Pro Obama videos on Youtube at Ramonaji08. Yes, they are biased. I love Obama!

Aileen · 1 year ago

Anyone who has an opinion is "biased." Just because what is said in this movie does not fit with your views does not make it any less valid. Michael Moore has opinions that a LOT of people happen to agree with.

Also, you complain about his bias, but look at the conservative bias on Fox News. It's painfully blatant there.

Joy Smith · 1 year ago

So you suggest we worship Michael Moore, well I do. He is a patriot who acts. Watch the film and see his good works for yourself.

lyd · 1 year ago

- some people are so used to censor that they cannot see it when it hit them in the face
- being a Republican is for the rich and the bigots, but religion has no business in politic,
politic is supposed to be about security of the land, economy and protection of the Americans;
the government should not decide how and with whom people are supposed to live, either decide whom will be authorize to sit next one partner's hospital bed, this is why it is called democracy!
- rather it is Bush or Palin, they are using God to be or try to be in positions way over their heads and Mc Cain in order to win for the republican is willing to compromise the well being of American people by naming Palin as VP just because she is a woman and using her faith for political ascension.... SAD AND DANGEROUS.

Adri · 1 year ago

biased doesn't necessarily means lack of truth!

Renee · 1 year ago

Every political supporter and every American news station is biased. The only thing Michael Moore is doing, is voicing his opinion (one that happens to be not just right, but GLARINGLY, OBVIOUSLY right) and he makes no attempt at disguising it as anything but that.

I really hope the good people of America do the right thing this time...that all of those wonderful young people from 2004 come back with a vengeance, and that this time their parents use their heads too.

Elizabeth Berry · 1 year ago

Yes the film inspires and also frightens. I am frightened to see how many young people in 2004 were involved and yet the Democrats lost.

We must not take a single voter for granted in the 2008 campagin.

I have so far registered 41 people. My goal when I began a couple of weeks ago was 50. In Texas, Oct 6 is our cutoff date.

In addition to registering voters and tell the story, I also have a website if Liz were Queen and I write and post information on that site to promote Democrats.

I do plan to take off Nov 4 and I will be either a poll watcher or a poll greeter--whichever one my party needs the most. We must elect Obama and Biden in November--our country and perhaps even our lives depend on it.

gundeen · 1 year ago

2004 seems so long ago and the hope I felt then no-longer exists. I saw Obama in Jacksonville this past weekend and there was fear in his voice when addressing the current financial crisis. Bush and his administration have done more damage than any two-term-president can repair. It's going to take all of us to come back from this and the resolve to NEVER LET THIS (act of despotism) HAPPEN AGAIN.

Kenny · 1 year ago

Patriot Act? Yes, Michael Moore is a Patriot and he acts. The Republickers have left us with the abyss of debt with a wake already damaging our economy. It's TIME that we stand up against the Republican Regime and take back our country. It's time we get out of Iraq and IRAN and let them solve their own problems for once. Let's fix OUR COUNTRY FIRST! Our veterans, our Native Americans, our elderly, our sick, our homeless - need us more than any other country does. Bravo Michael, Bravo.

Katherine · 1 year ago

The "Slacker Uprising" shall strike again!! But this time we WILL win! What an inspiration! I found myself crying at many points in the movie, only at the end, at the last speech, because I already knew how it ended. However, it was so close, and we aren't going to let that happen again.
I would like to remind the people who voted for Bush and are thinking about voting for McCain, the definition of insanity:
insanity
The state of being insane; madness.
Trying to solve problems, expecting different results, using the exact same methods.

I live in Ferndale, MI and I am a registered democrat. I work at Comerica Park, home of the Detroit Tigers. As the season is rapping up, and as our state registration deadline is drawing near, and I will once again be a stay-at-home mom, my pledge is not to stay home. I will be volunteering where I can, and will see you at polls on November 4th!

Lisa C · 1 year ago

Thanks Michael for the TRUTH.
We don't want ANOTHER PRESIDENT LIKE BUSH.
We now "ALL SHOULD" know...
THIS WAR IS TOTALLY ABOUT MAINTAINING THE OIL. AND SARAH PALIN IS ABOUT OIL IN ALASKA.
((Sarah does not believe in Global warming...probably because she's in a cold climate to begin with...HA-HA.)) We must do something about global warming. Moore's supportersand I know that if Mc Cain gets in they will not do anything.
If this present administration was serious about the terrorists they would have CLOSED THE BORDERS.
TO NO SURPRISE...THEY'RE HERE and THEY'RE COOKING.

I don't like the fact that I have to pay so much a month for health insurance when every other country in the world HAS Nat'l health insurance.
We are a very sick nation while 50 million do not have health insurance...the number is growing...that is how much the Republican administration CARES about us.
They have done nothing to control the gas prices crisis.
And let us not forget what Mc Cain said about the mortgage crisis in our country...Mc Cain told us 'it's a mere setback' and the 'economy is sound',

Meanwhile as the the rest of the world looks at us...they are confused about America, they don't understand why the polls are split in half for Obama and Mc Cain. Especially when they hear on the news all the problems we face under Bush's regime.
Countries around us wonder why isn't it a landslide for the Democrats!
This Republican Administration for 8 years have done absolutely nothing for the working class of America, but throw us in debt. With Obama in, we can at least have security, and you can be sure your tax dollars will work for you After all WE ARE the government, and we pay taxes...
clearly we don't need to have our taxes go towards other countries, as this administration has done.
National Health insurance in Iraq,,,because this administration gave it to them freely with OUR taxes dollars!! Yes, it's true. WHAT ABOUT AMERICA?!

On top of everything...Republicans want to curb back on government spending here at home in the United States...and Republicans applaud that?! WHY?
When Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac both needed government bailing out, at first Bush administration didn't want to intervene at all. NOW it's come to they HAVE TO. Republican Ron Paul (Known as Liberal today) predicted this several years ago that this would happen, as he witnessed the economy going down. Smart man. One of the last of the old fashioned Conservative Republicans that's left. If there were more like him I would remain Republican today. And now with real setbacks on WallStreet in trouble, do they have second thoughts? Ron Paul believes in helping America first. But (unfortunately) Ron Paul is not running.
We need health insurance as every other country has it.

SO I stand with you, Michael,
Listen Republicans... instead of turning the dial or a deaf ear to the Democrats...listen. LISTEN to them,
and join us...we want the ((OIL)) $$ war to FINALLY end.
Listen up people to folks like Michael, Or an even "Greater Depression" will be predicted.

I'm recruiting volunteers for the local Obama phone bank to get out the vote in battleground states. Almost every day I send an encouraging email to everyone I know, reminding them that the tide has now turned in Barack's favor - he has an economic plan, free of ties to lobbyists and Wall Street fat dudes. We CAN do this - don't give away your hope, just DO it!! Peace y'all!

Hillary C · 1 year ago

I hate to have to say this---but I cannot IMAGINE what we can do any diferently than we did that last election. Everyone wore themselves to the GROUND to get everyone to vote and THEY DID. In record numbers. And we did not win. More young people than ever---and Bush won AGAIN. What POSSIBLE strageties can we do that will be any different than last time? We are still a predominantly red-neck country, and somehow---they really know how to win an election. It is baffling. How in the HELL do 65 year old religious okies STIILL rule? What are we doing wrong?

pwrblnc · 1 year ago

Hillary C. I have to agree that it is extremely disheartening to have lost the last election after all the hard work. I was rather depressed myself towards the end of the film. One thing that will help is for all of us to start taking the mass media to task when they don't fulfill their responsibilities to the general public. I send letters to the editor of my local paper, call in to radio shows and speak up when someone starts to peddle lies. When taken to task, many of these individuals, papers and media can't support their information with facts. We all need to speak out, raise our voices and push forward. Don't lose hope, we will win.

Karen · 1 year ago

Hillary and pwrblnc - do not be disheartened. We did not lose either election. They were both stolen. 2000 rather obviously , 2004 , much more subtlety. We couldn't figure out what happened in 2004 until we started looking into all of the fraud involving voting machines. Many of our friends thought we were a little crazy until they read what we had found. Now they all understand what happened. Make sure everyone that you know goes out and votes. We can't let another election get stolen!

tony · 1 year ago

Hi Hillary-

I understand how you feel but stay confident. The country is significantly worse now than it was in 04 and i think that will help. But if we lose this time I will be beyond discouraged.

michaelalbert · 1 year ago

The Slacker movie is wonderful.
Please, please, please America, let's make a real change NOW.
We are just so much better in every way possible than what has been conducted in our name for the last 8 years.
Please, please, please, younger Americans, repeat what you did in 2004 this November.
And please, parents and other Americans, let us learn from what we have experienced and what we have lost and what others have lost and what Mother Earth has lost and make a positive and dramatic defeat of the Republican Party this Election Day.

Abubakarr Massaquoi · 1 year ago

Ladies and Gentlemen - What an amazing movement - I charge every one here today to truly stand for CHANGE in 08 - Don't forget those famous word "For the people, by the people" they mean something - You see things will never change if we don't take it upon ourselves to make it happen - Ask yourself some questions Republicans and Democrats what and who are you fighting for - and why? Fight for a cause - Mine is health care -

THIS MOVIE IS A LIVING TRUTH - (OBAMA/BIDEN '08)

Alan S. · 1 year ago

This is ANOTHER GREAT Michael Moore film! I am tempted to rent a school bus and start busing in voters from Eastern Illinois into Ohio on election day to help avoid a repeat for losing Ohio. However, I think the latest news on our economy will do much to "Swing" the tide of voters to make the right choice for Mr. Obama!

I plan to share this film with all of my family, friends and co-workers. My oldest son just turned 18 and has already registered to vote. I am going to work with him to get him to convince the rest of his slacker friends to get out and vote this November, so we can TAKE BACK AMERICA!!!

Ellen · 1 year ago

I am sending the movie to everyone on my e-list. I will be voting for Obama and making sure my twenty year old son votes this election too. I am watching the debates with my thirteen year old son so he will vote someday when he is of age. I am telling everyone how critical this election is for our county and the Global community too. I love Michael Moore more and more. Thank God there's a wonderful Canadian loves us Americans. He is the most entertaining and enlightening person I know. I'm looking for other ways to help Obama and Biden win this election. Then when they do...I am going to Thank God and Michael Moore and the United States of American people with a brain.

Dianne Fritsche · 1 year ago

I found the film incredibly poignant. I found myself crying all over again and unable to believe once again that my country voted for bush again. Just as with any traumatic experience, we find ways to go forward and heal but this film reminded me and it is important and necessary to never forget. As a new election approaches I once again have hope in the American people to end the disaster and vote Democratic. Yet how this 2008 election can be as close as it is blows my mind and concerns me deeply. Palin is a comic book character, at best. Come on ignorance let up on this country, your hold has gotta let up. As the old poster says, "If you think education is expensive, you should try ignorance". Thank you Michael Moore

Ramona Graham · 1 year ago

The Fox propaganda machine is powerful. Fortunately there are more and more ways to get news. Hopefully the youth that turned out last time and the 4 years worth of new voters since then will outweigh the folks who are voting and UNINFORMED or misinformed. NO ONE would have voted for Bush if they knew who he really was. It's 8 years later and now everybody seems to know Bush is terrible and always was. Even the folks who supported him and voted for him!

Haniel · 1 year ago

I share your concern. It completely baffles me.

David Ediger · 1 year ago

To think, this country used to be a government for the people, now it is a government for the corporation, war - for the corporation, Katrina disaster- for the corporation. Generosity, equal rights, "love your neighbor" are hollow echos of a past that seem only a distant dream.

Everything now is a lie. When ever Bush (and followers) talk that is one thing you can guarantee, lies, more debt and more pain and still there are people that believe that there are any freedoms.

Vote for Truth, Work for what is good. Americans think the war is in Iraq or Afghanistan... It is here at home. It is a war and if you are not the rich elite the propaganda machine gun is aimed at you.

I was at the world premier at the Michigan Theatre in Ann Arbor! Awesome film. Michael is so cool and such an inspiration! Thank you so much for bringing the truth to the surface and letting corporate republican america bring us down! I love how you referred to the U.S becoming communist, it's true and sad! Lets vote for change! Vote Obama! Everyone needs to see this movie as a reminder of what has happened twice! I cant believe twice!! Don't let it happen a third!

I was at Michael's thing when he can through Maryville, Missouri. The way many people reacted made me ashamed of my home state. Based on the way things are going again this 2008 election, Missouri is going to go for McCain. I think Missouri has only picked the wrong canidate once in a 100 years. Missouri needs people to speak in these smaller towns. The Democrates already have the big cities like Kansas City, MO and Saint Louis. We need many famous people to tour from mid sized town to mid sized town and help people understand.

Please, please, vote. And vote well.

Obama is quoted in the NYT (9/22/08) as saying that he will not rule out Henry Paulson as a member of his cabinet if he's elected president. with "friends" such as obama, the working class hardly needs enemies.

looks like "change wall street can believe in" to me

for a REAL alternative, check out the WSWS.ORG website of the Socialist Equality Party which stands AGAINST corporate bailouts and the bi-partisan plan to place the failures of america's plutocrats on the backs of the american people

Barack said that about Henry Paulson referring to the 'transition period' .... You know, like when Bush gets out of office and Barack gets in ... there is something called a transition period in between.

Consistent with EESA, I have appointed an interim Assistant Secretary to manage the program and begin its rapid implementation. I am currently working with the President to identify a leader to submit for confirmation, as called for in the legislation, to manage the program and help ensure its long-term success. I will also consult with congressional leaders and Senator McCain and Senator Obama during this process. It is our intent to have an appointee confirmed by the Senate as soon as possible, and I look forward to working with the Senate when they return in November, to ensure we maintain strong leadership and continuity for this unprecedented effort.


"continuity" and "strong leadership" is what we get under the bi-partisan dictatorship of the capitalists.

And also, I am so deeply sorry and ashamed about the monied puppet-lunatic currently in office. And my even greater apology to you nice people up north for the monkey-fest Repulican ticket currently raging. Last, but not least, my sorrow and empathy that you have to live next-door to Sarah Palin and company.
Hope we're all still friends after November--Although frankly, I could understand why any friends of America might be wondering where the hell our brains and integrity went these past elections......

Biden is here tomorrow and as of the time I write this, McCain is trying to weasel out of the Presidential debates AND the Vice-Pres debates!!! FIND LETTERMAN'S VIDEO CLIP FROM TODAY'S TAPING.......huffingtonpost.com has it, and it is beyond priceless.!!
Good luck, happy voting!
OBAMA TIME!!!

I'm a Canadian who just watched the film. I'm glad you don't have a vote on election day, because I absolutely fear Obama at the helm. I've actually lived under his sort of philosophy. What is it that scares you? Oh, yeah - you don't really know. Not for certain. You go with whatever professor Moore claims are the facts. And he's been proven a liar more times than any politician has.

Jeremy · 1 year ago

I can't believe that the Republicans would actually pay money to cancel MIchael Moores speech. It's goes to show they are afraid! We can do this guys, we can take back this country! We must stand up and speak out and vote on Nov 3rd! We must change our direction!

I had some idea of MM going around places by the byte sounds from the media. It was good to see what actually was going on with those trying to suppress the first ammendment and all the many hours MM and team spend going around encouraging the young men and women. I believe this has been very helpful to Obama. If they steal it again, this time there will be a revolution.

I have been reading a lot, informing myself as to the truth, then blogging all over, giving facts, exposing the lies, encouraging Obama supporters, counterattacking crazy staments and idiocy by republicans. Writing my senators and congressmen when they need to hear the voice of the people. I will use my car and gas to drive voters to the polls.

It amazes me that the MSM was able to keep this tour as quiet as they did. MM had turnouts that resembled those of Obama's .

Kudos to Michael Moore for sharing and giving his art to the public. A very good film and I hope that it motivates people to not give up the fight and help America make this important change in Washington and all over this nation this upcoming November. The other day I signed up to be a precinct leader in my city for the Obama/Biden campaign. I plan to register as many people as I can as well to help make this change. Thank you once again Mr. Moore!

Gray62 · 1 year ago

Excuse me pls, but "the public" doesn't only consist of US and Canadian residents! There are lots of people all around the globe who are concerned about US democracy. It would have been nice if we could see the movie for free, too!

However, be assured that many here in the "rest of the world" are cheering you efforts to get out the votes for change. After all those efforts to spread the message and to convince voters, this is the final, decisive battle ahead. This can be your finest hour! All the best wishes for November 4th!

drakanamor · 1 year ago

Gray, I am sorry that it is only available in the US and CA. I did not realize that until reading your post. I did not mean any disrespect to the rest of the world. Thank you for your well wishes. I too hope that in a few days we in the US can bring about this change that is needed.

I'm already voting for Obama, but this movie was the push that I needed to get off my tush and volunteer for the Obama campaign. I had no idea Kerry lost by such a slim margin. We can't let that happen again. There were two quotes from the movie that made me laugh water through my nose. "What would Jesus bomb? " & " Republicanism is deviant behavior , but we'll still let them marry each other"

Great film , It brings tears to the eye's of the people that fought to save us from what now has happened . Now it is to late and we may not even be able to keep our country together . It is your fault if you voted for Bush , You now owe this country more then your life . You owe it your service - In the soup lines that our about to occur . To the 73,000 homeless in LA , to the pain and suffering that is about to start . It is your fault . It is YOUR fault .
The only thing you can do is make them pay for the crimes they have done to this country . Our country , OUR cities . OUR towns . Its time the people that caused our country to fail , that have put us in debt , that have done nothing but pray and watch football , instead of learn . Its time they paid for their Vote . That day has just arrived this week our stock market will give their vote to BUSH --- back to them . Your money will be gone and worthless because you voted for Bush . it is YOUR fault that the country stands on the brink of total failure . This country is so strong it can not get rid of a leader that lied ,stole , and killed his own people . WOW Bush did all that with an IQ of a FISH . His words of pain and terror will always be remembered as the most embarrassing time in our american history. I saw 9/11 , My dad died in the city , I saw the people of NY curse Bush, and the media did NOTHING . If you ever fail us again you will have to pay a price larger then sending other young men and women to die for you, and your next news spot. . The media did not do its job , they wanted to have another war for ratings - people are dead - do you feel better ? richer? smarter? happier?

"This is my song, O God of all the nations,
a song of peace for lands afar and mine;
this is my home, the country where my heart is;
here are my hopes, my dreams, my holy shrine:
but other hearts in other lands are beating
with hopes and dreams as true and high as mine.

My country's skies are bluer than the ocean,
and sunlight beams on cloverleaf and pine;
but other lands have sunlight too, and clover,
and skies are everywhere as blue as mine:
O hear my song, thou God of all the nations,
a song of peace for their land and for mine."

(The hymn version of Finlandia by Jean Sibelius)

Wow, what an exceptionally well made movie. This film demonstrates moments in our recent history which we can never forget. We really can not afford(not to reference the current economic crisis)to have another 4 years of bushonomics. That is precisely why I would vote for Barack Obama if I was old enough in November.

Gary Sellani · 1 year ago

Granted this movie was focused on the tour, but I would have liked to have seen attention paid to the dirty tricks done by the GOP in Ohio: the long lines in Democratic precincts and the "caging." In this day and age, being registered to vote and showing up isn't enough if the GOP can steal your vote.

I would have used Steve Earle's "The Revolution Starts Now." It is not the end of the world if you act.

Great job, Mike. Another success.
I am a Canadian who at one point was useless in influencing the world at such a grand political scale, but since Bush stole your country, and the influential country in the world, I became a strong advocate against the Bush Crime Family.
I am pleading with every American I know or that I can contact to make their vote count, and if they decide not to participate in the idea of democracy that is always being fought so hard to spread, then go out and cast my vote for me, because after all, I am a citizen of the world and I think I have a say as well.

It things have to change, I have to change; I have to become involved and I urge anyone reading this to do the same. It is up to us...you and me...we must see that this country is in the right hands so we can affect a change and take the company in a healther direction and regain the world's support.

I am a naturalized citizen, born in England. I fought for my right to vote in America so I can have a voice on behalf of my 7-year-old daughter (U.S. born). I don't vote for myself, and voting for 300 million citizens seems overwhelming. Instead, I vote to give my daughter the best future possible. It makes me proud as a father and as an American to have that opportunity.

CliffQuick · 1 year ago

As a veteran in the army who volunteered not once but twice to go over to iraq, I support change. Others and myself alike never volunteered for bush or his reasons of the war, but because our brothers and sisters over sea's need the support and we can offer that in many ways. Go out and vote is the single greatest thing you could ever do for our military and veterans who are not just fighting a war in other countries but are fighting a war with the transition into a regular civilian life with horrible programs to keep our veterans strong and motivated when they need it the most. Obama and Biden are the real deal and the ticket we all need, and if you watched this movie then well we all know your supportive of change, but the many people who won't and don't watch this movie need to know that they have a voice as well. Some of my friends have said they are not going to vote, but every night we go out I put it into their heads, that change can't happen if no one speaks up and I will be making them watch this movie even if it takes a case of beer to make them sit down and see this historic movie of people coming together.

So remember its not just about you voting, because you have already made that choice by watching this movie, now go out and get everyone you know to vote as well. Because that is the true reason of this movie.

As a Canadian I'm still baffled what happen in 04. I hope and pray in 08 you folks right the ship.

If McSame wins then:

Big corps will still have a free ride under McCain

You will still be at war, and I'm guessing another shortly.

The rich will get richer while the poor will get poorer

The environment will be put aside because of corps.

The healthcare care situation will remain the same while drug companies over charge you.

You will still be heavily dependant on foreign oil.

Lobbyist and special interest groups will still run the WH, heck McSame has 83 lobbyist working for him.

Your world reputation will erode even further.

Roe vs Wade will be over turned.

Is this what you want? another 8 years?

"those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it"

Thanks for putting all of your time and effort into it. It has not gone unnoticed by us in the black community and I just wanted to take the time to say THANK YOU!

Wow, another amazing documentary by Moore. I absolutely loved it. I will however ask that you guys do one thing, which is the real message behind this movie:

DON"T JUST VOTE. GET OUT ON THE GROUND AND DO SOMETHING! KNOCK ON DOORS! MAKE CALLS! VOLUNTEER! DRAG EVERYONE YOU KNOW TO THE VOTING BOOTH AND GET THEM REGISTERED BEFORE HAND! GIVE THEM A RIDE IF YOU HAVE TO!

Just think what we could do if everyone here brought 2 friends to the booth that had no intention of voting! That alone would triple our results! Be sure if you have any elders in your family/neighborhood to help them fill out an absentee ballot or take them to "early voting". We cannot and will not lose this election!

When i cast my vote, I vote with 15-20 million just like you. This country has forced this situation onto many countries around the world. Why do you suppose little has been done to make it right? It is all about no not the "Wet Back" it's all about "The Green Back" 15 million undocumented individuals who work, most work under a less then legal situation and pay taxes under a social security card that they will never file a tax return under.
roughly $300,000,000,000.00 (yes that is 300 billion) in salaries in which taxes and social security are paid that are never returned back for over payment. Now the government can't touch this money but they can play with it and invest it using the interest for whatever purpose they choose. Do you think they want everyone to go home? Maybe someone should show LouDobbs the numbers and ask him. You see those Walls and monitors at the border are all being paid by the undocumented workers in this country .

I've got your back! However, I may just being going south of the border because of what has happened to this country over the past 28 years. ( I have voted in EVERY election Local, National, Primary and General).

As a Canadian citizen & your cozy neighbor I view this election as pivital in HUMAN hystory. Never has such a corrupt regime existed as that of the Republicans. Ancient Rome could learna thing or two. Democracy is limping along in your country, barely alive or so it seems my friends, nearly finished thanks to those Corporate giants bent on holding power and keeping the electorate (YOU) complacent & misinformed. What you have is a big mess. A mafia that not only manufactured 911, used you as pawns in a horrifying well-organized plot. but is now bent on draining the rest of the world dry to FEED its conglomerates (HALIBURTON, CHEVRON, TEXICO, SHELL) and reposition the US for the 21st century. I urge you to read your own history. Drafted in 1992, "The Strategy for a New American Century" is the real smoking gun. It's authors, Cheney, Wolfivitz, Poindexter & BUSH. Now there's your REAL axis of evil folks!!! Please vote, and for GOD'S SAKE, don't allow the Rebublicans to steal another election out from under your noses. If they do then honestly it might be time to redefine DEMOCRACY once and for all.

The second big money is in trouble, King George W. Bush is looking at giving them a $700,000,000,000.00 bailout for the mistakes and evil-doing of the past 8 years by the Republican administration and greedy assholes in big business. But here I sit without money... without health care... but with a bill for $2300.00-- the share of $700,000,000,000.00 for every man woman and child in the USA so that rich executives can ride away in their limousines with millions of dollars in payoffs and while there are up to hundreds of thousands of innocent people laying dead in Iraq. . FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.. WAKE UP AND VOTE FOR BARACK OBAMA. Tell your neighbors to vote! Tell your friends to vote! Wake their asses up on election day, or better yet get them to early voting. Don't just sit there. DOOOOO something! It was so close in 2004. We can't let this happen again. Every vote counts! Let's do it for the millions of people suffering under the nightmare of President W, and VP Dick Cheney!-- the buddies John McCain has supported during the past 8 years! We'd get the same damn thing with McCain because all the people in the background are always the same nimrods. Different puppet-- Same hands up it's rear end!.
GO OBAMA GO! We need you for the next 8 years! I already voted absentee, and we're pushing to get people signed up. This is the first time I'm involved like this in politics because I HAVE HAD ENOUGH! PLEASE JOIN ME! This is OUR country! Help me take it back for real people like you and me! Check out barackobama.com get involved, and find out what you can do! They have a pretty neat site. Or get involved on your own. But do not sit there on your couch this time around. We need you!

I was the first person to protest the Bush Presidential theft, in Tallahassee on Nov. 4th 2000.

I was arrested in the early hours of Nov. 5th 2000, on the Capitol for "Civil Disobedience" even though it was 3 AM and eerily silent on the Capitol grounds.

There happened to be one news crew on-site at the time (I think it was Shepard Smith from Orlando's FOX News). I questioned him about the "coincidence" that Jeb Bush was the Governor, and I was quickly taken into custody around 3 AM EST on November 5th for Civil Disobedience.

There were 5 or 6 people present: Myself, a news jockey, his cameraman (with a huge light), and another person that kept telling me to get out of the frame.

About 2 minutes later, an officer appeared and asked me to sit on the capitol steps (which I did). A short time later, a few more officers came over and arrested me.

CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE for sitting on the Capitol Steps and witnessing the news broadcast that was about to unfold.

There were a handful of people present that night, yet I was arrested for Civil Disobedience! Myself, 1 officer, 1 State Official, 1 Cameraman and 1 Interviewer. About 30 minutes later, another officer arrived to arrest me on the Capitol steps.

I'm more than willing to tell my story publicly, so feel free to contact me for details.

Why he would revisit his last effort without a single mention of Obama is beyond my ability to understand how anyone could release an important film like this one and then put in his film dated irrelevant material without contrasting it with a resounding support bite for Obama? With less than sixty days until the election it is possible that Moore simply could not do better than this with his busy schedule and for that we can all STILL be grateful to him for being a true patriot. He deserved the Bronze Star presented to him by the man in the audience. Moore is a true patriot but sadly little changes in our country as the Democrats and the Republicans move ever closer to being one party ... in reality. I look to Moore for more films and more reality checks in the future. I look to him to strike fear into the hearts of the media and into the minds of would be politicians. I would hope his words inspire integrity in a disintegrating political landslide of corruption on both sides of the isle. Thank you Michael for this film... and don't stop telling the truth as you see it. You are worth listening to... and certainly I WILL vote regardless if I believe it matters or not. I have wasted my time on activities far less important than voting.

Brennan Thomas · 1 year ago

i bet he is far too busy with his next hit.

Quoting NY times & moore:

"Mr. Moore remains coy about the subject of his next movie, although he said filming was well under way. He has denied rumors that it will be a sequel to “Fahrenheit 9/11,” but he has not quashed reports that his next film will explore what he views as American imperialism. The recent turmoil of the financial markets may be giving him even more material.

“Some weeks, like this past week, I wonder if we’re going to have to credit others with the screenplay,” he said. "

but u do have a point.

Hey, Zimmermann, don't look to Michael for more films for your answers, didn't you get Michael's message in this film? The point he was making was get off your chair, Zimmermann, and get your friends and family and neighbors to vote, share the knowledge from this film, even show the film within your community, get involved.
Anyway, that was the message I heard.

He mentioned Obama and the '08 election a ton. He just didn't come out and say it. He's a sneaky man. Why do you think this film is coming out just over a month before the election?

Wonderful! Once again.
Heartbreaking and heartwarming.
Mahalo Michael! You're an inspiration.

Tapping into the energy and just-plain-goodness
of our nation's youth is nothing short of genius.

Obama in 08 of course...and 2012 as well!

I can't wait to see the films you'll make
when we get out of Iraq and begin to attack
all our myriad problems right here at home.

its 4:05 AM where I live. I just watched this movie and found it amusing.

and boy North America is sleeping, yet I see 111 comments so far, I expect this number to be in 4 or 5 digits by 2moro night.

I like how u got the balls to say what u say Michael. U stand for freedom of speech.

between today and election day, I will be active on some online forums and will be debating with idiots and wise men alike. I wish I could get people to vote, but in Houston TX, that only means more votes for McShame, even from the young people.

There are too many haters out there, and I just love how u know to treat them :D way to go!

and a very good idea to put this movie up for free, now that guy who called u a communist can watch it without paying even a penny, that is if he is up for freedom of speech, otherwise he is better off not watching it and die in his ignorance when his time comes.

I will have a communist like u in the white house over any of the republicans, any day!
(with exception of Ron Paul, but with 2day's standards he is a libertarian)

God bless and good luck. I just hope McSame aint gonna be the lead man of the next orchestra... cuz i will attend another one in such a case as i would view the audience as mad lunatics I would not wanna be associated with.

I absolutely LOVED LOVED LOVED the film. Michael Moore - you are a true genious! I became a US citizen at the age of 15 in 2005 - a year after the disastrous outcome of the 2004 elections. This year would be the first year that I get to vote and I'm sure NOT voting for someone who will keep our troops in Iraq for "100 more years"!!!!!! Thank you for doing this for your own people and eventhough we didn't win 4 years ago, YOU have still made a huge difference in the lives of MINORITIES!!!! After seing the film, I will pass it on to everyone and will encourage them to vote and as already a registered voter, I WILL VOTE ON NOVEMBER 4th!!!! Once again, THANK YOU!!!!!

All I could do is watch the film and give it the thumbs-up sign, as I do with all of Michael's movies. I will vote democrat on election day, as I have been doing since I Farenheit 911. I stopped voting until I saw the movie. He is truly the voice of those who cannot speak for themselves. You are one of the greatest, Michael!

This film would have been great if it weren't pro-Democratic Party and pro-US Military.

The purpose of the Democratic Party is to offer the common people just enough crumbs off the large cake that our labor has produced for the ruling class so that we don't revolt. One homeless person, in the matter of days -- given the power -- would do more for the common people than either party has in it's history.

The purpose of the US Military is to be hitmen for imperialists (including Obama) out to conquer the world and destroy anything in their path that keeps them from maximizing profits for the ruling class.

This film paints the picture that the war in Iraq is something out of the ordinary for US imperialism, this is just flat out not the case. See a real documentary entitled "The War on Democracy"

This is what I truly like about Michael Moore. He opens peoples minds to educate, and stand up for themselves. He truly cares about people. This is important information for people to watch or not. That is the beauty of the fingers, hands, eyes, ears, legs, and feet. If you don't want to hear Michael Moore you can simply turn it off, or walk away. Thank you once again for your unselfish hard work of empowering people

I have learned from my lackluster record, that one vote can indeed make a difference, and I am adding mine at long last. I will be forwarding this movie to every name on my email. Please don't give up on what you're doing. It does make a difference. YOU have made a difference.
Can you come to Wilkes Barre, Pa? Help us.....the people here are frightening in their ignorance.

I think this administration has fucked up our country. I didn't like Gore or Kerry so I voted for Bush the last 2 terms and regret it. McPalin is more of the same shit (LIES LIES LIES) we have gone through the past 8 years. If more than half of the country is too blind to see this in November I'm moving to Amsterdam and smoking joints daily...

Been following OBAMA since Oct of 07 and the first time I heard him speak I knew he was going to be our next president. So everyone get out the vote and turn our country around for the next 8 years under OBAMA.

Long Island, NY in the house!! First I'd like thank Michale Moore and his crew for making this film, it has to be an eye opener for all those that voted in 2004, both democrats and republicans. We are tired of the big corporations ruling this country, the lobbyists taking over what is supposed to be OUR democratic way of life. We need Obama and Biden in the white house, to get us out of Iraq. Remember simply that we do not own this planet we call earth, we are simply only tenants of it. VOTE!!!!

Dylan Newstead · 1 year ago

I'm from Canada, but i must admit I follow the US presidential election more than i follow the Canadian election. I found the film "Slackers uprising" very inspiring. I always try to get younger people here in Canada out to vote because it is important to have a voice. If you don't vote then they won't listen to you and take your concerns into account when it comes time for an election.

I've only seen the first 17 minutes of the film, but I have already been working to convince people that they need to vote and that they need to vote for Obama. I live in Illinois, which is always a democrat state, so I have been focusing my efforts to convince people I know in Florida and other states where it could go either way. I simply don't understand why anyone would vote for McCain. He's just the opposite of what we need.

Michael Moore deserves a world of gratitude for having the courage to vocalize what Americans are thinking and to in turn, make us courageous in demanding change for our country and the world we live in. He is the ULTIMATE AMERICAN, the model from which we all should be inspired. Whether you agree with Michael or not, you must support him in his endeavor to use one of thei cuntry's greatest gifts..FREDOM OF SPEACH.
When the history books are written, Michael Moore will be remembered for being an instrument of change in desperate times and the word "hero" will be his legacy. He is a remarkable man.

From what I have read in the comments, Canadians need to see this movie. Our prime minister, Stephen Harper is a Bushite in sheep's clothing. He is slowly destroying Canada and if he is voted in again, he will finish it off like Bush has done for my friends in the US. He has been using the dirtiest of tricks for two years and he must go.

Kind of disjointed. A lot of Michael Moore being introduced at different venues around the country. Musical acts that performed, while good, were not too relevant to anything too slacker-ey. Kind of boring. Not the typical Michael Moore continuity.

The film was excellent. It showed how committed Michael Moore and other celebrities are to helping this country. It gave me hope.

While it was envigorating to see all the excitement and enthusiam of everyone attending the rallies, we all know the outcome of the 2004 election. Is Mr. Moore going to do another slacker tour? Please, please say yes. Also, what can be done to make sure every vote is counted? Right now, in Wisconsin Van Hollen is trying to disenfranchise Wisconsin voters. How can we make sure this doesn't happen? Help!

Thanks for reminding us, Michael, that we can actually put Obama in the White House if we work hard enough.

This country is not destroyed, not quite. As a Brit living here, I can only say, good mornin' America WAKE UP or this country will be destroyed with and by these war mongers who will definately bring war to American soil. The economic war is raging. But, if you want to find out how it is to come home and not find your town, your village, your street, your loved ones, then vote for these pitbulls and liars Palin McCain and death and destruction. Just the thought of this old man and this whatever she is woman being near the red tel makes me shiver and worry for my grandkids in America and Europe. The Twin Towers were not warning enough?! The American life standard is reeling in a rusty bed, do Americans ever ask where their tax money is going? Certainly not where it should be going. What I'm doing between now and election day, getting long ears....as we say, wondering, can't believe that anyone would not vote for Obama.

Morgan Macgregor · 1 year ago

This film was fantastic. I'm a Canadian citizen staying here in America for the next several months, and it pains me that I can't participate in the election. Without being able to volunteer for Obama's campaign, without being allowed to attend rallies, write op-ed pieces, or even make phone calls to remind people to go out and vote, there is little I can do while the country gears up for this election, and misinformed housewives in the state I live in plaster their children with McCain stickers and wear shirts that say, "Team Palin." But Michael Moore reminds me that I still matter, that what I say and do on a daily basis can really affect change. So I'm doing the only thing the law doesn't prevent me from doing in this campaign: I'm talking to people. I live in a very Southern-minded rural community where the pick-up truck is king and Democratic is a bad word. But every day I wear my buttons and my shirts and I engage people in conversation. Usually they are so grossly uninformed about the policies of the party they are so fervently defending, it's difficult to have a reasonable debate. But I try. Every day, I talk to people, and if I can't change their minds, maybe I can plant a seed. And maybe when I tell them about this movie, and about Moore's other movies, about The Huffington Post and Media Matters and all the amazing blogs that are dedicated to speaking the truth...maybe they will go home and turn on their computers and decide to think for themselves.

Thank you Michael Moore for this movie. Thank you for not backing down, for not becoming a cynic or a defeatist. You give me great hope that all is not lost. I will one day marry my American boyfriend and live in this great country. Thanks for believing in the American people instead of dictating to them, thanks for speaking with them instead of talking at them, and thanks for making this movie available for everyone. That is truly democratic.

Chris Holtman · 1 year ago

Unfortunately the insanity of the American president has spilled over into Canada. The war over Weapons of Mass Destruction that were never really there also claims Canadian sons. As one of your neighbours we would like to request that the American people get a grip on their politcians and their proclivity to war, either that or we will be forced to move to find a better neighbourhood with less gang violence.

Micheal I love your work - please keep stirring the pot - you come across as a proud American - would you at least consider for a few minutes turning your talents and laser vision on Canada. We could use a good stir. Canadians have a deep seated "slacker" nature.

We, in the United States, tend to view the world in a narrow fashion. We have ignored the dire impact of the grave decisions made by our government. This administration has been acting like the bully on the block by using political pressure to force our allies to back us up on our poor decisions. Slackers in all countries need to raise their voices and make sure that the US doesn't push them around. Don't let your country become part of the gang and we will do all we can to get the gang out of the White House. Thank you for your concern and for expanding my vision beyond our borders.

Sadly, so true, so true. And Michale Moore isn't any better. Why is this movie onlyfor free for US and Canadian residents? Didn't people from 'the rest of the world' help financing it with the money they spent on Mike's books and movies? Are we just second class fans, somehow? Or even totally forgotten? It's pathetic.

The film was sort of a Michael Moore show. Pretty lame. It didn't address the voter fraud in several states and the proposed manipulations of the RNC/Rove for this very important year.

The film was worth what I paid for it. It's message was valid, though:VOTE, IT MAY STILL WORK. And to our elected representatives: Bailout a human being sometime. Corporations have gotten more than their share.

As always with Michael Moore's films, I loved this. I was at his appearance in Philadelphia, and it was so inspiring. I am glad that we have folks like him getting out there and waking people up.
I have a little problem, however... In my travels and research and thoughts, I have become very aware that there are not just two parties; there is more to the elections than the Democrats and the Republicans. I know that many people know this also, and yet still, every day, I see so many people who don't look outside that 2 party box that Washington and the mass media builds for us to fight over. Someone below offered up the definition of insanity: "Trying to solve problems, expecting different results, using the exact same methods. " Well, it's true. Let's break out of the box, folks. Do your research on third party candidates. I am concerned that voting within that 2 party system isn't going to change a thing in this country - no matter what they say on stages and in front of television cameras. Just think about it and do some research, that's all I ask.

MontuckyDivaDog · 1 year ago

As a fellow Michigan-der and Patriotic American like Michael Moore, I have always enjoyed his films. Even when his views are in direct conflict of my own IE: Gun Control, John Kerry, Fahrenheit 911 portayal of Bush(not harsh enough!) etc.
This was a great film and effort to try and end this awful war and the Bush regime. It is unfortune to me that the Democrats think Barak Obama is going to bring the troops back when he has no plan or timeline to do so. I only hope people get out and vote. And speak out against John 'McBush3rd Term'
Hey Michael, how about Ralph Nader or Ron Paul in your next effort ??
Keep up the fight. Looking forward to next film/ political action. Michael Moore=True Patriot.

MarioH · 1 year ago

Hi. Small Town Minnesota slacker here. I'm 27 years old and I haven't voted once. I'll be completly honest, in 2000 I didn't care, in 2004 I did care but wasn't aware that I would have been able to register at the polls (*Something every state DOES NOT allow, register early folks!*) I realized it too late and was heartbroken, but Minnesota still went Kerry so I felt a little bit better.
But this time I'm not leaving it to chance. I've registered already, but more than that I'm volenteering. I've been canvising with my fellow democrats of Minnesota, knocking on doors and talking about the issues. Because I don't care about lipstick, I care about the issues. Mr. Moore I heard you say that "I may be preaching to the choir, but the choir needs a good song." And you sang it, I saw fellow youth singing right along with you. And for as many times as I've been told "Democrat... Get of my yard!" I've heard many others embrace the idea of change.
There is no doubt that as we needed to win in 2004 we DESPERATELY need to win in 2008. Please I implore all of you to please get out there and get those friends and family to look and listen to the real issues. Talk to strangers, talk to co-workers, you'll find most are willing to know more if they can only be told in a friendly non-threatening way. We really can do this. Yes we can.

What a unique perspective of the values that majority of american's hold dear to their hearts. If anything the film functions as a catylist to spark debate and get people involved which in turn creates change.

Although I found it very appaling to think that individual regardless of party affliation will sink so low to "bribe" others, to insure that their way of life is kept the same. Then again, when you are afraid change is around the corner, people will do whatever it takes to prevent it. What a great film, that gives today's generation a unique voice, a voice to call our own. What a insperational film.

One must remember though, actions change history. People are judge for their actions, and it is action that brings about change. If you sincerely seek change, then use your voice, get involved and speak through your actions.

Once again Michael moore in his stand for social justice gives us a compelling look at America and it's people. He tells the truth about our country and motivates people in his compassioned way to be true to themselves.. Thank you Micahel for all that you do to get the word out and not to stand by like so many of us do feeling powerless. You give us the energy, you are the spark to so many possible flames that can heat up this years election and make sure we have a voice . I saw you in the Detroit Airport once, you were on my flight to NY.. I wish I had told you then how I feel about your work, I wish I had not allowed you your anonymity, I really don't think you would have minded... you need to be rewarded and thanked every day for standing up for the common man and giving us the voice, the courage, the comaraderie to take back our country.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for never giving up, Michael Moore, and for fighting for us all. Your film has inspired me to continue to fight. Your courage at being a very public thorn in the side of the Republicans is amazing to me because I can only imagine what a target it makes you. And thank you, too, for telling it like it is to the so-called journalists. They are the real slackers, and I am so sick of their ineptitude that I refuse to watch mainstream television news any more (yes, CNN, that includes you as you make more and more comprises to win imbeciles in the audience.)

You are a great patriot, Michael Moore. Keep telling the truth and making films. This movie is inspirational. I've sent the link to everyone I know.

I do not have a right to vote as I am a legal alien so I will have to count on you to vote for the right man for the Presidency.

Rff2206 · 1 year ago

Terrific video, Michael. You are absolutely right to take the media to task. If they had done their job as investigative reporters, we would not have gone to war. It is my belief that most of what we hear on TV is pure, unadulterated propaganda from those that own the stations.....or advertise on the stations. Or, possibly, our own government.

Given what occurred at the RNC, with identified journalists being imprisoned, with their homes being ransacked, I think we can safely say the mainstream media is IN ON the deception.

Thank you for continually sticking your neck out on our behalf. You prove that one person with a loud enough megaphone and THE WILL to make a difference...truly can.

I was there at the Las Vegas speaking and it was great! If only there was a TV station brave enough to air this without censorship so all those people that say they won't pay to see it don't have to. Then they would have no excuse to their ignorance. There are lots of things the media choses not to show us and without all the information how can people make a decision. As a former Hiliary supporter I support Obama now.

I am going to bake and brew coffee for my building's residents on voting day morning.

I hope my management company doesn't freak but I hope that folks will have a moment to see their neighbors as the nice folks that we are and remember that voting is a social responsibility to us all. My city is bigtime on respecting privacy but I think that word should get out that our voting numbers count when our local politicians request funding etc so we really need to all roll into the voting booth and be counted.

I am also considering taking my child out of school so she can nap during the day and stay up for the counts. If I can find it in me to do academic homework with her then I can show her how to do the citizenship homework, too.

I started crying at the end because I love my country and I want it back!!!! Then Michael Moore said "There's no crying in politics!" I give this movie one million stars!!!!!!!! I have three children who are 23, 21 and 18 and I never let them become slackers! They are all registered to vote and have volunteered for the Democrats on many occasions. The young people of this country are our greatest hope! Thank you Michael Moore, you sir are a true patriot!

The film does inspire me yet it also frightens me to think how many people have been and still are so visibly upset with the status quo yet things don't seem to change.

I will be truly disappointed in ourselves, not just as Americans, but as human beings, if the seeds of racism end up costing Obama the White House. Do we truly live in a world where people can say, "I don't really like McCain but I just can't vote for a black guy."?

I truly hope this isn't the America of today.

Fight the good fight. Get out and tell people to vote.

Vote your conscience... vote for what you feel in your heart, not your head. Your heart has to tell you that America is not strong and whoever is running the country has to be held accountable. Republicans can't just keep blaming everyone else for why the country is messed up. They've help power in the White House or the Congress or both for so long and so often, you have to BLAME the way America is on them.

Change that.

Yes we can.

I am currently working on a project to promote peaceful solutions to our world's problems. One of the things we have done is to print shirts that say "Globalize This" with a large peace sign on the front. We are giving 50% of our profits to the Obama campaign.

This movie just goes to show you that we, as young Americans, have a voice. And we need to exercise our right to vote come Election Day. As a Native American, my ancestors didn't have the right to vote even though we've been here for thousands of years. I hope to speak up for my people and come Election Day, my vote is going towards Barack OBAMA!!

I went to michaelmoore.com and watched your ten points, and I quite agree that paper ballots and number two pencils are the way to go. I do not trust the automated machines: I think they can be (and have been) rigged.

As for voting on the weekend, that's a MUST DO. We don't have it on a weekend because then those that were poor, working in minimum-wage jobs would be able to vote without losing their wages.

This is going to be an amazing election. The disenfranchised are truly angry enough to do whatever it takes to VOTE this time around.

What a waste of time. I actually enjoyed the delusional Sicko, Columbine and 9/11 movies for their comedic values. They were also great for their leftist lies and fear tactics, but Slacker was just boring and dumb as hell. Either Moore didn't do enough in 2004 or the will of the people spoke. Which was it? I believe the latter. The same will come in 2008. Moore and the rest of the Democrats will rally behind pretty speeches and hollow words and lose the election again. We need experience in the White House and unfortunately that means McCain. Obama has no experience. He admitted that himself, his VP accused him of not being ready. Speaking of VP's why are the Democrats so terrified of Palin? She got more votes for Governor than Biden did for President.

Get over it. You lost in 2004 rallying behind a coward and you are going to lose in 2008 rallying behind a racist, socialist who befriends terrorist.

That the Democrats came so close to winning with a lame-duck candidate like Kerry in 2004 is due to the tireless efforts of ordinary people and activists like Michael Moore. Obama is a MUCH stronger candidate than Kerry, but he's still weak on a lot of issues; like the war and health care (remember the primaries? He supported mandatory insurance for all, not universal health care) and he has the unfortunate (in America? NO WAI) "race" issue to deal with. He has alienated you, his base, by pandering to conservatives and evangelicals and as a result he's going to lose. I thought the film was very motivational and amusing at the same time. Not as much to think about as Moore's other films, but hey, it was free, who cares?

So between now and election day? I'm not overtly advocating my candidate of choice, but I AM participating in movements to not only register new voters, but to EDUCATE them on their choices in November. New York alone has something like seven candidates on the ballot, each with very different views on many things (well, in the case of Obama/McCain not THAT different ;) ) and as Michael has said, it is important for the people in a democracy to be educated and informed. Look into other candidates. You may find what you truly believe in in a Libertarian, Green, Socialist, or independent candidate!

I thougth the film was very much on the mark. I think Ohio was the 2004 Florida. Something was and is rotten in Denmark. Thank you Micheal Moore for this energizing view of the election. I did not know some of what I heard about what was going on at that time. I am excited that we have all this talent on the democrats side. It was good to see that we dont strong arm those who disagree with us from the events like the Republicans do with protesters. Bless you Micheal Moore.

Just seeing this film and also seeing whats going today in the United States with the financial crisis with two of the biggest companies go to show that we need someone new in office. Bush made a big mess and its time for us the people of the United States to clean up this great country. Me watch this film help me become a voter I never vote before because I really didn't think it will make a different but now I see bush the three = John Mccain try to become the next leader of this country and we can't have someone be the leader if they agree 90% of the time with G.Bush so this year I will make a vote for the right person and hope it counts.

ITS TIME WE PUT THE RIGHT PERSON IN THE BIG WHITE HOUSE, HOPE THAT HE MAKES ROOM FOR US.

This film is very relevant today as it was in 2004. Even though Bush is out in November, we know MCcain will carry on the Bush administration. In fact, the film is more relevant than in 2004, because the state of America has deteriorated to rockbottom with war and the economy. As I listen to this film, I think MCcain's name for Bush. Obama wil win this race , even though it will be close, beause the Democrats will and are working hard to get rid of the Bush regime. Mike Moore, thanks for spreading the word.

This film really missed the mark. Hearing a bunch of people play guitar and seeing old news footage of Michael Moore does nothing to address the issue of people not voting. What was up with the lady singing the national anthem of Finland? Who cares? And some guy gave Moore his uncle's Bronze Star? Are you kidding me? You can't except that. People die for their country to deserve such medals and he's going to take one for making movies? Lastly, Rosanne Bar is a "See You Next Tuesday". What a patriot. When I think of America and patriotism, I think of a woman with a raspy voice singing the National Anthem at a baseball game, grabbing her penis, and spitting on the ground. Free speech aside, that's despicable.

Give me an example of an exaggerated fact or message with lack of evidence by Michael Moore. The one thing I have always admired about Michael Moore is that fact that he shows videos, signed documents and pure focus in all his films. He doesn't just talk, he shows in high definition for all to see. I will listen. Just send me one lie, one exaggerated message by Michael Moore. Make sure to back it up with documentation or video like he does. Telling (showing) the truth is not brainwashing. Convincing this nation to go to war using exaggerations and lies is what I would consider brainwashing. McCain = more of the same.

good morning world,

it's 11:30 on tuesday september 23. exactly 6 weeks before election day.

what I'm thinking, right now, after just finishing michael moore's generous gift of a film is this;

compassion and anger.

compassionate anger.

angry compassion.

that somehow the combination of these two things is needed.

with compassion taking the front seat. the driver's seat. or, I don't know, maybe the passenger navigator seat.

maybe it's anger that should be in the driver's seat.

I just don't know.

compassion must be in charge, though. the real guide. the one holding the map.

compassion.

what I'm going to be doing between now and the election;

well, today I'm going to 12:10 mass at Saint Monica's here in santa monica.

I'm going to nevada in october to help register voters and show solidarity and take part in this exciting time.

I'm going to watch the debates at my sisters on friday with my beautiful girlfriend and her father.

I'm going to pray each day that I have the courage and the fearlessness to make my choices based on love.

I'm going to not bury my anger. express the shadow in the most creative way I can.

I'm going to try to love bigger. be more honest.

michael, thank you for you huge heart. thank you for your righteous anger.

thank you for your beautiful artistry.

your humility.

compassion.

this is all in God's hands.

our anger and our compassion.

God bless us all.

love,

bernard white

When President Bush (W) won the first time, I said that because of his support base (those, especially, associated with the New American Century) that his administration would go 'down' in the books as one of the most corrupt in my lifetime of almost fifty years. Wow, I did not realize how true that would end up being. As a resident here in Ohio, I really wonder how he won the state in '04. I do recall many problems with our voting system here, and I can only pray that these gliches are fixed this year. What will I be doing between now and the election? Talking. Yep, with neighbors, family, friends and in my own gentle way I hope that I can persuade them to think about how bad thing are now, and who can really, really change it. Trouble is, most everyone I talk to is already voting Democrat this election, so I hope the outcome will show it. I am really concerned about the integrity of our voting system. I hope it stands true. Good job Michael Moore, please keep up the great work!

As your neighbor to the north (Canada) I've always been interested in the American elections. What happens there affects us too. Canada has been raked over the coals by the Bush administration & their cohorts for not going to Iraq because we didn't buy that WMD nonsense. "Either you're with us or against us". We thought independently & as a nation our government has a duty to us no different than the American government has a duty to it's citizens. We have a mini-Bush here by the name of Stephen Harper who wants to be re-elected, he is dragging our great country down the same sewer hole that Bush has dragged the great nation of the USA down. The right wing-neocon agenda will be stopped & with the likes of Mike Moore it will be. I truly hope common sense prevails in both countries as our perspective elections near. I love my country just as much as an American loves theirs, Please vote with your/our conscience.

Michael Moore speaks the truth and the truth hurts.
Ask yourselves why the Republicans would want to charge Michael for free speech - because he's speaking the truth!
I am a Canadian that supports Obama and Biden and I have also been and avid supporter of Mr. Moore's.
I plead with the American public - get past skin color, get past religious background, get past the B.S. that is Republican and vote Obama (the second coming of JFK).
Change is always scary but necessary. I have a teenage daughter who is not doing so well academically and she insist on study the same way in the same manner year after year and the results are the same. I try to tell her taking just one, even two of my suggestions to study differently and let me know what happens if it does not work then I'll eat my words - well would you believe her marks have now gone up 10% across the board. You could say the Republicans are my daughter and the Democrats are the suggestions that increased her marks. Lastly ask yourselves why are we in Iraq and not Afghanistan? Ask yourselves why are we pouring disgusting amounts of money into a war when the American people do not have a pot to piss in? Ask yourselves what am I going to do to change the current situation? Te definition of insanity: doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. You may say why is this Canadian so passionate and concerned with US politics - the US impacts the rest of the world - Obama, Biden, Moore you have my support

The problem with films like this is they prop up the personality more than the issues involved. This is what happens and what affects real people, this is not just about Michael Moore. I do wish Michael would make it more about progressive politics and a longterm solidarity, not just seeing a celebrity speak and then going home and doing nothing. It doesn't matter if Mike is involved or not, we have to do what we can to change the country, without a celebrity to motivate us. We should be that spark. This will be long and hard and will go many years, no matter who wins.

As someone who was a part of this tour for a few stops, my remembrances are deeply embedded and personal. Michael gave me a microphone, a stage and an audience with no more direction than "take as much time as you need." A good man, truly.
We cannot take our eyes off the prize--no political candidate will solve all of our problems. Many of us maintain moralistic and idealistic views that we cannot compromise, for they are what will ultimately prevent more wars. The choice in this election seems clear but let us not assume that it means the war ends and all of our sins are atoned for. We are in a deficit of integrity and honor, one that will take a collective effort to overcome.

Thank you, for all the hard work you are doing and have done across this nation.

Its hard to believe that we the Democrats lost the 2004 campaign?, I am out of work, and find it hard to think that we are concern about higher TAXES, yet the (Republican party) keeps telling us that, "we wont raise Taxes". yet we are bailing out big buisness? (TAX) and paying for it..... Our Dollar ($$) is worth less today, even as Mike, Gas, Food cost more?, less taxes?, I don't think so. I am out telling everybody, i come into contact with to get out and Vote. If I am on the phone for any reason, its my opportunity, before I hang up, to tell them make sure to Vote, and to tell a friend to do the same. "WE NEED TO GET OUT AND VOTE" we need change...

I saw this tour in Seattle, and wept when I saw the footage. I remember that night, I remember that energy, and I remember thinking there was no way we could make the same mistake twice.
Now I sit and watch the film and weep. I weep for all we lost, I weep that at the time we were mourning over 1100 deaths and it is over 4000 now, I weep for my country, but most of all I weep because we sit on the brink of making the same fatal mistake.
John McCain and Sarah Palin will be the death of my country and I am tired of weeping for her. I want to dance with her, with the hope, the promise, the joy, of taking her back.
Mostly I weep because I see the power of what we the people could do if we stopped being afraid, stopped letting the liars in the door.
Thank you Michael Moore. You are an American Hero!

Swift boating worked for Bush, so why not swift boat McCain? Believe me, there is plenty of evidence.

As the Bush/Cheney supporters cheer from the crowd for four more years and Michael Moore holds up the enlistment forms and asks them why the hell they aren't Iraq yet??? The look on one of the guys like "yea right" who was screaming for four more years was priceless. That was great.

And the play on word for Patriot Act,, awesome as well. A patriot who acts.

Here's what successful right wing governments do to stay in power: Keep the poor poor and uneducated because then you can get their vote by lying and by bribery. Like taking candy from a baby. Plus you can purchase their youth for your war armies--bloody convenient and a good, affordable price. Keep the corporations' profits in record highs so the economic stats look great and on the theory that the wealthy will sprinkle a few crumbs of their cake onto the general public. Keep control of the media by corporate ownership and intimidation. Keep control over people by using media to spread the appropriate lies to justify your actions. The essential political lie that everyone seems to have bought is that there is some "war against terror". Tests show that if you say something often enough people will believe it. There is no war against terror. The Iraq occupation was an unilateral invasion. Even 9-1-1 would not have happened if the US gov't had not been behaving in a away that marginalized, demoralized and shat on others. People, THINK!! Remember this quote and who said it: Hitler is quoted as saying, "What luck for the leaders that the people do not think." It all comes down to this--people aren't going to like you if you don't play nice. Michael Moore and others have a huge job. You are targeting the youth who are, thankfully, more street wise than their parents who were people who still trusted in their leadership and didn't question it. The obedience thing, ya know? And, ouch, they hate to admit they've been duped, therefore many are in denial about that. But the next generation is voting now. If McCain and Palin get in the USA is going down the drain and pulling other countries with it since we are so interwoven. Even if Obama gets in, there is a helluva big leak to repair. But at least the USA will regain some dignity and respect. The financial crisis? Don't get me started on that. Who carries most of the US debt right now? Do you know? China. A fricking communist country that is pretty damn powerful if you haven't noticed. The US is so afraid of socialism and yet it has sold itself to China. When things get bad enough they'll move in and then the USA will really wonder where its freedom went. Those who caused this? They'll have their billions in profits sitting, free of taxation, in banks in the Caymans. And they will exit stage right and let things "take care of themselves" in true Republican fashion. Michael Moore isn't making billions. He has nothing to gain but getting back his country. He's more of a Patriot than most of those in the Bush administration. He isn't lying to you. The rest of the world is watching to see if the USA will continue to sleep while it is being robbed blind or if it will wake up and smell the toast. Thanks, Michael, for making the movie available to everyone. You've created a ground swell that is going to work this time around. If it doesn't then, hell, I'm going to be very nervous about being next-door neighbour to that dysfunctional country. We're trying to get someone decent into our own government and USA having a neocon republican gov't is not helpful at all, thank you very much. Oh. And it's always nice preaching to the converted but it's our job to wake up the sleepers, okay?

This film is both amazingly powerful and scary as hell. I didn't realize such an effort was made to get people to vote in 2004. This does not bode well for Obama and the Democratic Party in Nov. 08. BUT WE WILL NOT GIVE UP!!!!!!! VOTE OBAMA!!!!! We CAN accomplish what they (barely) did not in 04!!!!!!!!!!!!

The other day I was having a pedicure and there was a republican sitting next to me who stated as if it were fact that Obama is a "communist and a muslim" - I yelled at her, and she yelled back, but then WORSE there was a woman next to her who said, "can we please talk about something else, I'm not here to talk politics."...meanwhile the russian manicurists started going on about socialism and in a few minutes the place was in an uproar.....GOOD, I say, there needs to be an uproar and not necessarily in a stadium, but in the everyday kind of places...like nail salons... because besides the young voters, the WOMEN in this country better wake up and realize that there is a lot at stake for the freedom of women's choices, and for that I say thank you to the republicans for nominating Sarah Palin - an event so insulting and threatening that this slacker is finally off the couch!!!! Oh yeah, the movie made me sad - and the media? Shame on them...ps. Larry King should never have shaken that guy's hand......

Awesome movie and it makes me so glad my friend sent me the link about downloading it. I've been talking to people (sending them the link about Slacker Uprising) and I will see what I can do at my local Obama campaign office (even though I hate canvassing with a fiery passion).
As an aside, I had very little info on the 2004 Ohio voter disenfranchisement. For more info on it, aside from goodsearching what happened, check out the documentary "American Blackout". It will lead to dismay, but also give you even more reason to kick the Republicans out of office (in case you needed another reason to add to what, I'm sure, is a sizable list).
Thanks, Mr. Moore!

Well you won't be erasing my vote in November.

pwrblnc · 1 year ago

Good grief, Steven, do you even know what propaganda is? It's any widespread scheme or effort to spread or promote any idea, opinion or person using deceitful or distorted information. Nothing in this video falls into that category. If you can offer me an example on the video, I'd be happy to take another look at it. What the Republican administration did to get us into this war in Iraq is a perfect example of propaganda. The deceitful and distorted information has now been proven and I, for one, am hoping the this administration does some jail time for it. It's time that the leaders of this country realize that they will have to pay the piper when they intentionally decieve the people and cause harm to the citizens of this country.

Emmanuel Cruz · 1 year ago

let me guess the kind of propaganda you accept... hmmm oh reference to the film.... oh right are we still looking for bombs in iraq. right that kind of propaganda you loveeee.

pwrblnc · 1 year ago

This movie is a chronicle of the events leading up to the election of 2004. That should be obvious to anyone who watched it. Yes, they were still looking for the bombs. Now it is 2008, still nothing found. Believe me, if this administration could find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, even now, they would be overjoyed and the whole world would have egg on it's face. I love this film but it surely doesn't have any propaganda. I've responded to some of these messages requesting any evidence of propaganda that they found on the film and they have either responded with jibberish, anger or just pure frustration.

daFilex · 1 year ago

Ooooo a contest. Okay... Propaganda in this film would haaaaave to be what you don't see. Moore hides the fact that not all Republicans are religious, self-serving, mouth breathing jerk offs. I'm pretty sure there was a good Republican. He was tall, liked minorities, and was an impressive speaker. Oh yeah, Abraham Lincoln, or was it Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Emmanuel,
I am pwrblnc on the slakeruprising.com discussion. I compared Michael
Moore to the Hubble Space Telescope. I think your response may have been

your response was for me, I don't understand.

Well world, Its our time to shine again... Slacker Uprising can not make it anymore clearer about who to vote for. Back when bush was elected I really didn't care nor payed any attention to any political issues. But even then I was smart enough to see that Bush was not the man to vote for. I mean you don't have to be a the smartest person nor the most politically informed person in the world to know that THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION let alone THE REPUBLICAN party's cant be trusted!!! PERIOD! U just don't! Its amazing how ignorant some people still are. A few days ago I asked alot of people at work If they seen Fahrenheit 9/11. I was shocked to find out nobody has seen it. Nor want to. Then I asked this lady "Who are you voting for?" She replied McCaine... So i replied "You still want a war?" She said and I quote "What war? theres no war?" She also said she rather vote for McCaine because Obama was raising taxes... Well I rather have taxes raise then keep fight a rich mans war for god's sakes... Republican people are all about the money...

bluzguy · 1 year ago

I'm very impressed by the efforts to enlighten American citizens about the necessity for involvement in choosing who runs our government. It is so unfortunate that the message didn't reach more. As long as those in power remain in power, our headlong plunge into recession will only gain momentum. I only hope those who responded in 2004 will not see their votes as meaningless in 2008.

I am scared to death that half this country thinks that a McCain-Palin presidency is the best path for our future. It only shows that our public education system is indeed in dire straits. We need to come together and elect someone who will TELL YOU THE TRUTH instead of using you to make their friends even richer. It's time for change, people. Do everything you can to help Barack Obama win.

Chastity Price · 1 year ago

I think it's a crying shame that I hear people talking about how bad Bush is and yet we have someone who's going to make a difference and they won't vote for him because of his color. It's so sad and I might add hurtful to see that color is still a issue. And that people can be so ignorant about it, I have an Obama bumper sticker in my front window of my car I have gotten flicked off and eyes rolled because of it and its stupid to feel that way about this man. I'm a democrat and it can be a white man or woman running and I would vote for them. So why do people find it so different because he is black. STUPID PEOPLE is what got Bush in the office doing absolutely nothing.

I will be leaving Utah County UT on 31 Oct 2008. Before leaving I will turn over documents to the News paper and information that reveals that Utah County Community action has committed fraud in the HEAT Program and funneled money into Provo City. I reported it and gave them 2 years to clean up the mess. They still divert funds to the City and refuse to give people client copies of the paper work so they can take money from the poor and elderly. I challenge everyone to force local organizations to follow the rules and if they aren't report them to the newspapers and anyone that will listen.

I will vote on absentee ballot before I start packing. The school system is designed to give children of wealthy parents great educations and the latin and poor children do without. I moved my son out before the school year started into Salt Lake County where I will live in my sons basement until I can save money to get an apartment. I'm 61 and I never thought I would see Americans deny anyone the right to hear a different point of view from the status quo.
I will show this film to everyone that will watch it. I will volunteer to drive people to the polls. I will stand with good Americans that believe in the right to be free.
Keep up the Good Work.

I enjoyed the movie as I do all Michael Moore films. I love the political views that he holds and that he does give a bit of enjoyment in showing the Republicans in his films as they show themselves to be FOLLOWERS NOT LEADERS. I am Canadian and I don't understand why it takes the Americans Months and years and MILLIONS of dollars for the Candidates for Presidents to show how good/bad they will be for the Americans. We are having an election in Nov 2008 and it was just announced in Sept 2008. We have 2 months to figure out which of the 3/more parties we want to vote for. We still have problems getting people here to vote but I won't want to vote in your election as I"M SOOOO Sick of hearing about it that is all that is on CNN and all the news channels for the last YEAR it seems. Tell the people what you stand for and let them vote don't go on for months wish/washing about YES I STAND FOR this then NO maybe not!!! Anyway, keep up the good work MICHAEL

On my conservative suburban culdesac, I put out a large Obama/Biden yard sign. When it was stolen after three days, I put out two more, only these were stapled to my fence and framed in white wood trim. If those are defaced or stolen, I will put up more.

I am also sharing via e-mail and Facebook any interesting or inspiring piece of information that comes my way, including Slacker Uprising. Don't underestimate the power of going viral this election! Share this video with everyone you know and encourage them to share it around!

I recently e-mailed friends and family and urged them to do whatever they can to help the campaign, even here in historically Democratic California. I especially urged the ones who are still mad about Hillary to recognize that it's time to channel that anger into helping the campaign. We do not want to give John McCain and... God help us... Sarah Palin even a smidge of an edge in this election.

And to the person who stole my Obama yard sign or anyone considering stealing my new Obama signs... EVERY SIGN YOU STEAL MEANS ANOTHER 10 DOLLARS GOES TO THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN. THANKS FOR DOING YOUR PART!

Make sure everyone knows about www.barackobama.com and the fact that you can go to your local "(City Name) for Obama" campaign office for t-shirts, stickers, yard signs and to DONATE TIME OR MONEY. If you can't donate TIME, donate MONEY so they can staff enough volunteers to make the calls and visits to the Swing States!

Last election, we hosted a Kerry fundraiser in our backyard and raised a couple thousand dollars. I'd like to do it again for Obama. I shudder to think about what our world wlll look like in another four years if the Republicans win. Thank you, Michael Moore, for your entertaining and inspiring work!

Lucia · 1 year ago

I really love the films just like all the other michael moore films. The only thing that I would like to ask of michael is that he gets to people's attention HOW to vote. I volunteered to count ballots in 2004 and we had more than a thousand people vote for Mickey Mouse in the write in portion, and more than 5,000 people punched in the "select all republican candidates" then choose Kerry as president, the problem with that is that their presidential vote was dismissed because they had already voted all republican. if all those people knew how to vote correctly the election would've had a different out come. What I will be doing is not getting people to vote I think there are sufficient people doing that, but I will try to educate people how to vote, where to vote, the early voting dates, and where to find out information on the candidates and what their positions are. I hope others do the same!

I applaud Michael Moores efforts in waking people up to the truth. People, for too long have been led, lied to and manipulated by their governments under the false belief that their government represents them or cares about their well being. The manipulators have been at this since before the first great depression where they took over the banks and financial institutions with the same methods they are using now. Then as now they will follow with another war. You can vote if you like but keep this in mind. They (the shadow government) have the system stacked in such a way that it matters little who is elected. John Kerry is related to the queen of england. If he had been elected he would have followed the agenda of the blue bloods. http://www.infowars.com/print/kerry/related_to_...
George W. Bush a 17th cousin to Prince William of Wales.
http://genealogy.about.com/od/presidents/p/geor...
Do your homework and you will see that the majority of the presidents were also related to the blue bloods of europe in one way or another. Al Gore is also of royal descent. http://www.theforbiddenknowledge.com/hardtruth/...
Why do you think he stepped aside so readily? It was in the interest of the bloods.
You have been brainwashed to believe that you are free in america. You are not and never have been. How many know that there is no law that says you must pay income tax? You think your voting system works? Think again. It's been that way for a very long time. Time to find your power within people. It's there. And all you will have when all is said and done.

My seventh grade students will definitely become more aware of their own power. I also plan to help register voters. AND I PLAN TO ROCK THE SOCKS OFF THOSE REPUBLICANS!

I ENJOYED THE FILM!!!!! WAY TO GO MICHAEL!!!!!

Please remember that the second phase of registering people is to get them to actually vote. So, also mentor them about absentee ballots and early voting. Trust me, on November 4th, there will be lots of people working the polls that will be giving voters misinformation in an effort to help McCain win the election.

I just passed along some information today urging voters not to wear any Obama/Biden t-shirts, hats, pins, etc. to the polls because they can charge that you are trying to campaign inside the voting areas and they will ask you to leave and not permit you to vote. There are many new voters that are not familiar with the voting rules and regulations, so please spread the word.

John McCain is way too old and getting feeble and Sarah Palin is way too scary. PEOPLE.....don't be fooled again by the Carl Rove misinformation tactics via the Republican's media ads. LET"S GET OUT THE VOTE IN 2008 IN RECORD NUMBERS !!!!!

Subject Out-of-touch Bush-McCain economics have hurt American families.
Message Are you kidding me? Mr."I'm not sure how many homes I own, I'll have to ask my staff" McCain.
I own one that I hope I won't lose like so many of my neighbor's. The company that I work for depends on our guests not cutting back on luxuries like staying at our hotel, so I'm also hoping that I won't lose my job. Now let's look at the bigger picture, if people are losing their homes & their jobs they won't be able to buy many things, do you think that this might impact our economy? Maybe I'm just guessing that this might have an impact on our "fundamentals of our economy. I guess you can say that "the fundamentals of our economy are strong" if you compare us to Somalia,Tanzania,Zimbabwe,or Ethiopia.
It's all relative Mr.McCain,"a mental recession."
Now you are insulting my intelligence. Hello are you dreaming? Wake up this is the real world & all of this is actually happening today. What are you going to do to save our future & my grown children's future or some day my grandchildren's future? Can we hear some feedback and exactly what you plan to do to change this?
Just wondering as all I hear is "fundamentals of our economy are strong."

As always, a well done film Mr. Moore! I am a firm supporter of you and all of the great things that you have done to help your fellow man. I think that the little people will always find a way to talk down about you and let them. It only makes them looks worse. People say that your editing is a form of propaganda and a lie, but they are afraid of the truth. they are afraid to break from the herd and use their voice when things are wrong. They are afraid that others will criticize them. We need many, many more people like you.

This is a great film which shows how comically uninformed Bush supporters were in 2004. But voting, as Bill Clinton mentioned a few days ago, is not a rational process. What I love about Michael Moore are not the political stances he takes in his work, but his insistence, clear and visceral, to inform a public who receive their information secondhand or from biased sources. This is a work with a clear message and high purpose which sets in context the political arena we find ourselves in. An informed voter is the most dangerous thing for the Republican administration.

tom j lawson · 1 year ago

Loved it. Favorite part was when Moore called out the military guy and everyone stood up for him, then he got choked up.

The gap closed a little in 2004, and it shut all the way in 2006. The outcome of this election is a no-brainer, but without tours like these this November's miracle wouldn't be possible.

The Christian Right is pissed that they were used like rags in 2004. Blacks are pissed because of, well, you name it and W. did it. Women are pissed that McCain thinks any Vagina-American on the ticket will do. Young people are pissed, usually, and will come through again this year. And don't forget about the men and women dodging bullets in Iraq and Afghanistan! They want to come home. Not in a hundred years, but in a few hundred days. And they have had their votes casted in their heads for a long time.

There are not enough loopholes and backdoors available for the Republicans to steal the election this year. This year it's all up to democracy...

I can't believe it. I can't believe what this country has come to. I cried throughout slacker uprising. Not all tears of despair. Some tears of inspiration, and of hope. There is nothing like seeing the thousands who come out in defense of free speech, against the war, in support of all that Michael Moore stands for. But I am terrified that Obama will lose. I am guilt ridden that I have not taken more action to fight for this election. I am angry at the propaganda machine that has been permitted to disseminate lies for Bush's regime and those like it. And worst of all, I am terrified that even if Obama wins, he will not be able to undo all that has been damaged-after all, he is a pro-death penalty, pro-capitalist, Chicago Boy who has continually voted to continue funding a war he is supposedly against. So I am scared, that's the truth of it. Thank you Moore for showing us this beautiful sliver of American humanity.

Mike,
After the last 2 so called elections.. i can't say i have any faith in the voting process as it is. How come nobody's talking about vote flipping, who the manufacturer of the computer voting machines is? i will go and vote for sure.. i did last time. And you see that all of us "doomsayers" were right. Now all our public trust funds are going to bail out big corps that only went belly up after giving their senior execs 45 millions dollar severance packages. Where are the american people? How come no riots. Oh and according to "democracy now" for the first time in history there is now american army being trained and stationed in US. To quell domestic uprising. That used to be the pervue of the national guard.
What will i do? keep informed, keep writing, keep sharing. keep digging the truth out of the bullshit pile.

I was thrilled to come home after a long day at work, kick back and watch this film. Michael, you have done it again. As a Canadian (I know you love us up here for some of our progressive policies and we love you back!) we too are going to the poles for our own Federal Election very soon, I must admit our elections do not come close to the US election as we have no celebrities, no drama and it is down right boring. But we have a conservative PM here and I am hoping we follow suit and go for the right choice in our Liberal option.

Although I can't persuade my own people to vote in your election (God, I wish we could!!) I do encourage all of you to get your troops home, fix this disaster of an economy - which affects us too up her in the "Great White North" - and get some much needed National Health Care to you all. Come on and make us international watchers proud and Go with Obama!

Congrats Michael! Well Done!

Hi Michael. First off, thanks for the free digital distribution.

You used to try to make a point while being entertaining, and now you try to be entertaining while making a point. I personally liked it better the old way. I was bored for a lot of this one, but I like your movies in general. Roger and Me is still my favorite so far.

I'm playing for red team this year, but I'm living abroad so I mostly contribute time leaving red comments on various news and blog sites. It's less exciting than canvasing and rallies, that's for sure.

Everyone, from all parties, get out and vote! Be heard. It's not your country until you say it is.

I just finished watching Michael Moore’s newest movie and I’m convinced that my neighbors must think I was watching the greatest athletic event of all time. It is moving, inspiring, painful, and most importantly, a CALL TO ACTION, as well as another reminder of what we all CAN and MUST do to make a difference this year. This election is about our rights and our freedoms, as individuals, as men and women, and as Americans. It’s about preserving what has made our nation great. It’s time to take back control of the White House. I am doing my part, registering voters, making calls, staying informed and spreading the message. Vote Barack Obama and be part of much needed change.

It made me so sad to see that such hard work didn't quite pay off. Four years later, we are voting for our lives!!
McCain and Palin are so scary, the fundamental rights of our beautiful country are now at stake. Please get out and vote for change. For our environment, for the world's perception of us, for human rights, for freedom and mostly for our children!! Please vote! President Obama sounds right!!

Michael,

We need another tour for a final push before the 2008 election. People are charged up for this election. We also need as much documentation of the election problems as possible if a legal challenge is required after the election. We need to ensure a fair election this time around.

Michael Moore is a no talent Hollywood hate monger. As a matter of fact most of the people in Hollywood are out of touch with mainstream USA. It's a shame that so many people treat people like Michael Moore as heros. Be you a liberal or conservative, the real heros are people like John McCain(rep) or John Glenn(dem) who fought and bled for our country.

rainbo · 1 year ago

Riiight...and like Sarah Palin, who's sooooo NOT in touch with mainstream or reality!

Michael Moore is more in touch with mainstream then either McCain or anyone one of them.
McBush is a multi millionaire (how many times over know one knows) who doesn't even know how many homes he owns. How in the world is that mainstream?

Hero? McCain left his first wife because she wasn't as beautiful when he got home, as she was when he left.
He left his first wife Carol to marry a millionaire blond bombshell and said to hell with his first wife who waited for him while he was a POW (which there are POW's that were in vietnam with McCain, that know he was/is NO hero)

Palin = known lier, zip for experience and just plain dumb as a box of rocks
McCain = Cheated on his first wife, lier, double talking, Bush shadow, changes his mind more then his socks, doesn't know how many homes he own, owns a parking lot that's worth more then most people's homes, has big oil ties, lies and a WHOLE lot more dark and wrong with him!

In 2004 I had a Kerry bumper sticker, and made some calls on behalf of MoveOn.org, drove 1 person to the polls, and I voted. Obviously it wasn't enough. This year, I have a bumper sticker and a lawn sign. I will vote. I've been making some phone calls for the Obama campaign. I have contributed some money. AND!!! For the first time ever I went canvassing a neighborhood...twice. I hate doing it - I am bilingual and my English is accented. I feel so nervous, you know. But if not us, who? If not now, when? This weekend I will be there again, this time with my husband, pounding the pavement and talking to independents. It really helps that I am an independent voter, too. I can see their point of view.

About the movie, I knew of the movie but never watched it, bc I found the whole war business and the election too upsetting. Moore would have been preaching to the choir anyway. Thus, I never realized how much personal energy and funds Michael Moore poured into the Kerry election. You rock! I can't do what you can do, but I can do some things which will help. Thank you.

Charles · 1 year ago

Michael Moore is lucky in that he has a voice that is heard by the masses. But each of us can add to that. Every person we talk to and awaken to the truth is one more step back towards what our forefathers had in mind when fighting for the freedom of this country. Every day I talk to people about the upcomng election and what having another republican in office will mean to us as Americans. Obama will have his work cut out for him, fixing what the bush the Bush administration left behind. In fact, it will probably taking several President's to fix. But from talking to people, I think that alot of American's see this and know what needs to be done to get our nation back on track.
I am a union member, and we can see quite well what repubican leadership means to wages. Granted the NW United States is growing quite rapidly compared to the rest of the U.S., But the south still has a large construction industry, and yet the prevailing wage in the predominantly Republican controled south is $10 to $30 less an hour. Hmmmm..... coincidence? The Republican party tends to be, for the most part, anti-union. Why is this? The unions are the ones who brought about the weekend (as far as work weeks are concerned), workers rights, prevailing wages, and so much more. All of this is beneficial to american workers as a whole. So why would you vote Rebublican?

Please talk to your local libraries, local theaters in your towns and your universaties to show this film. We need to remind people that McCain is supporting the same Iraq agenda as Bush. He wants to continue enriching the rich at the mercy of the poor. Michael is a real American hero. Unfortunately, some people when you express disagreement they want to shut you up. Michael has the balls to stand up to them.

That was a sad film. The decision was so clear in 2004, and yet that evildoer got back in office only to put the country in even worse condition. How can people be so screwed up to even think of voting Republican this time? Well, I am sure there will be some disillusioned, uninformed, brainwashed types that will vote for McSame and Wind-up Doll. I won't be one of them. I am voting for Obama/Biden and am trying to get everyone I know to register, and to vote. I hope Michael Moore does a tour again!

GOD HELP US · 1 year ago

I guess I just don't get how anybody could be inspired by this movie. The 2004 election is a really depressing episode in American history, when the Democrats had a chance to boot the Bush administration out of the white house at the half way mark and failed America miserably by picking the worst possible candidate. It's a big happy tour film if you don't know how it ends and you can somehow stomach the sight of the most grating "leftist" celebrities Michael Moore could get to come. We've lost 4100+ soldiers in Iraq, there is an ocean passage through the Arctic Circle, the economy is collapsing, another Gulf Coast city is in ruins, the Democrats capitulated on offshore drilling, the GOP's base is orgasmically rallying around a VP candidate whose only experience is running a state with less people than Austin Texas, and Afghanistan is going so badly that the government is refusing to release their latest situation report for fear of causing panic. You expect people to take time out of their bleak, god-forsaken lives to watch Roseanne and Michael Stipe wax optimistic about John Kerry?!

rainbo · 1 year ago

I so understand where you're coming from!
I some what felt the same way about the movie as you.

Now, the question is, what can be done eh?
Voting isn't the answer. At least not voting for one of the only 2 choices we have

Will there be an uprising? Will Americans wake up and take a stand this time?

Everyone is acting very positive about this movie (and I do love and respect Michael Moore)
But, what did it gain anyone showing what had already happened?

Seems more that people need a BIG leader now to get people up off their asses and DO something NOW

"Millions" march on Washington? Not 1 million, not two million, but it might take many of millions of citizens!
I dunno...I wish I did...but, I'd be ready to go march if I thought there'd be millions going along! (The only way it'd make a dif)

Rowanrose · 1 year ago

pabows · 1 year ago

Michael - I'm a fan, really, what you are doing and have done is great. But this film you offered as a gift, I've got to say, it's a pretty shitty gift Michael. Lot's of footage of the crowd and some speakers and musicians and not one of them saying anything of meaning! Background noise and a bit of music - and COUNTRY MUSIC at that! I wasted almost an hour and then turned it off and deleted it.
I'm not American (Canadian) and cannot vote but I hope, I hope, Mr Obama wins the election for all our sakes.

Cindy · 1 year ago

I hope to God that the people of America realize what is at stake.You have to push harder and dis-member the Republican slander machine. Every person needs to get out an vote. This is our chance to fire the whole administration that has put our country in such a precarious position.We are perched on the edge of an abyss, the Republicans will push us over if they are allowed to prevail in November.
Talk to everyone that you know and encourage them to go to the polls in November. Tell them not to waste their vote by selecting a 3rd party - that's how we ended up with bush in the first place. That's what I am doing. And by the way, I am a middle-age woman. I still have a brain!

Lina L · 1 year ago

I was inspired by the spirit of the young Americans portrayed in this film. I DID NOT vote for Bush and will not vote McCain/Palin. It saddens me daily how completely brainwashed many religious/Republican/redneck individuals are. There were many in this film that looked so ignorant. I got into entirely too many heated discussions with Republicans who said that they would not watch the film or that Michael Moore should not be able to speak. How in the world can these people call themselves "informed" Christian Americans? I am emailing this movie to all in my address book. I will be discussing it and bringing all my friends to the poll this year.

I am disgusted at how quickly individuals saw a woman in a skirt that was attractive, and lost their minds. Palin, although bright, articulate, and a fighter, is in no way equipped to be VP. At least not at this point in her life. Maybe someday down the road, but this is not the time. We need the pendulum to swing in the other direction for a while and help the middle and lower classes of this great nation.

I want young people to realize that if what happened in 2004 (a win for a second term by the smallest margin in history) is really true, then there is hope. African/Americans did not give up fighting after a couple of months of fighting. Neither did the women who fought for their rights to vote. So, to give up because we lost the last battle, will only ensure we lose this war.

Please, please, please don't give up.. It may not work this time either, but we could be getting closer to taking the country back. Apathy never brings change!

Yet, I felt it was lacking some.
It talked about what happened the “last” election.
I kept waiting for what can happen NOW

It was sad and scary to see so many people supporting Kerry and then Kerry loses.
I’ve head so much about how our votes don’t count anyway.
That the NWO would make sure of that. I didn’t/don’t want to believe that
Yet, how can I not after seeing this?

Where is everyone now? Where is everyone that was in that film and what are they doing NOW?

Roseanne was funny as hell! She said what Palin actually says!
But, where is Roseanne NOW.

Why are so few speaking out?

This film serves as a clear reminder just how close we came to taking our country back in 2004. Now, more than ever, it is critical that every voice is heard on election day. The stakes could not be higher than right now. Cast your vote! End the madness that our country has slipped into! Every one of us has been negatively impacted by the horror show that is the Bush Administration. The reputation of our country around the world is at stake and our freedom and liberties can only be restored if we all SPEAK OUT WITH OUR VOTE! One by one, we can take our country back. Peace to all.

Just watched the video and thought it was fantastic. Michael Moore is one of the few willing to tell the truth about what's going on in this country and he has been doing it for years. From Roger and Me until today. I grew up in Grand Rapids, MI I can remember when you could work at GM and make enough money to have a decent living. Those jobs are gone now and it all started with Ronald Reagan and the republican party. Michigan didn't have a recession in the 80's, it was more of a depression, from which that state has never recovered.

We know that Karl Rove and his electronic wizards stole the last election, there are books, and countless magazine stories about it. Did it cause even a hint of a stir when the difference between the exit polls and the result in Iowa was 6%, the greatest previous divergence ever recorded was 1.5%? Not a peep! They will steal this election too unless they judge its better to hand the helm to their opponents at the moment of impact, then blame them for the mess they and their greedy kabal have created.

There are hundred of architects and engineers who say the three building at the WTC could have only fallen the way they did by explosives, but does the nation cry out for a real investigation? No.

Did any of you listen to Bernanke and Paulson speaking to our Congress today? They sounded like two school boys caught with their hands in the cookie jar, yet they want us to bail out their buddies in the big banks. Paulson was the CEO of Goldman Sachs, and will be replaced by Phil Gram, lobbyist for UBS in January. As a Senator, you may know him as the leader of the American banking deregulation movement in the 1990's. These are the people Bush/Cheyney wants you to trust with 700 billion dollars of our money!

I pray that this doesn't all end up the way I fear it will, with the kind of collapse that has befallen all fiat currency debtor nations in the past. Germany in the 1930's was the last most notable one. Like the man said, we really are sleepwalking into fascism.

rainbo · 1 year ago

I love MIchael Moore's movies (always will)
But, I had to write my review...

What it is about is his tour before the "last" election (Kerry vs. Bush)
Long and drawn out about it all. Great parts in it, some funny, some sad...
Mostly Michael touring and showing him speaking at collages around the US

I kept waiting from something more. I watched through the whole movie thinking that near the end he'd have something more for us...and then it was done. There was nothing more to it.

It talked about and showed how many collage people came out in droves, how close the election was and then Bush won again.
Yeah, SO! We knew all of that. So, I kept waiting for more to come. Something about what we can do NOW for "this" election.

Orrrr, I figured that near the end he'd talk about how we can do it better this time (only there is NO time)
But, there was none of that.

Suffices to say, the movie was very anticlimactic. For me anyway

I wouldn't say don't waste your time watching it. But, grab some popcorn and be ready to fast forward during some parts and expect nothing more then what already was, already happened and nothing new.

I thought that this was a very inspiring movie. Even though he admits defeat, Michael Moore is sending out the right message - "Stand up for what you believe in" but he adds in "and don't take no for an answer." There is a problem with America. It seems that politics has become a commercial game. Up here in Canada we found out that we were having an election a few short weeks ago and our election will be finished well before the American election. Can someone explain to me the difference? Why does it seem that Corporate America rules America and not the people of America? Help!

To my fellow Americans, just make sure to think about all those Americans that made the wrong decision 4 years ago. One vote cast in the wrong direction…Wow!?!?...how many people on both sides are dead NOW?...you can’t bring them back…I would like to see a calculation that shows how much each vote = in lives that were lost.

Brilliant, Michael Moore-- you've done it again. You've validated all of us who feel the same as you, given us hope that one person can change the course of something as monumental as this nation's presidential election, and maybe, just maybe, you've awakened the people who go through their lives with their hands over their eyes, their fingers in their ears, and their heads in the sand. Eight years ago, I was one of those people, but not anymore. Keep being our collective voice, and it will keep getting louder and stronger. I have donated to the Obama/Biden campaign, and am signed up at the DNC in my state to volunteer in any way I can. In closing, here's an interesting fact based on personel experience: watching those folks screaming out prayers in unison and holding up Bush/Cheney signs at one of your tour stops has the same effect on me as ingesting 238 grams of Miralax in preparation for a colonoscopy.

I hear the stock on those big pharmaceuticals is always a great bet. Profit off the sick and dying, Go, Go, Go! Keep cutting taxes on the most wealthy. Why not? They love to share, don't they? It's easy to play the profit game. Come on, let's all join in. It's winners take all night, and tomorrow...Hell, let's just make the Bush clan the royal family.

Watching the excitement and the energy at each stop moved me to tears several times during the movie.

After the devastating blow in Ohio and theft of the Whitehouse in 2004, I now am spending four to eight hours a week at the Wood County Democratic Headquarters, phoning, canvassing, recruiting young people, as well as connecting with my family, collegues, friends, and neighbors to be sure we don't see four more years of the same misguided policies.

The Diebold corporation and their electronic voting machine asured the "win" for bushco in Ohio.
There is no mention of that in this movie.Therefore we are in danger of that happening again.
Dennis kucinich of Ohio should have been calling for the investigation and asurance of acurate voting in his state instead of wasting his time trying to impeach the hallibuton/cheney puppet in the final six mounths of his term.I liked the movie, It was'nt my favorite Michael Moore film , but I apreciate it for what it was. He should have investigated how the election was stolen in Ohio and the danger that it could be stolen again because It's sooooo damn close as it is now (Unbeleivably). They can't steal it if it's not close, and Diebold corporation (the makers of these electronic voting machines used in Ohio) has pledged their support once again for the war candidate and his insulting "hockey mom".

Thank you and bless you, Michael! Hail Mary was not such a bad phrase to hear at your rally. For all those mothers' sons and daughters who have died in Afghanistan and Iraq, we should dedicate a million Hail Mary rosaries.
Here's an important UPDATE: the soldier death count is rising and is way above the numbers mentioned in this film. As of today, confirmed deaths are at ***4,170***. Military deaths outnumber those on 9-11 in the Twin Towers by around 1,000. By sending our soldiers into Iraq, we have caused the deaths of more of our own than Al Qaida did. I consider these deaths just as criminal, and even more insidious.
I am the mother of a veteran, and I have heard first hand about the lies, broken promises and horrors the soldiers face after signing on as military equipment for the Bush administration's illegal war. My son is now partially disabled, and thousands of soldiers like him return with permanent injuries. Thankfully, they receive lifetime pensions with amounts dependent on their "% of debilitation." But how much more of this continual human damage can our struggling economy afford, and will the government eventually say "Oops, so sorry, no more money."
I vote absentee every election; IT IS SO EASY! You can fill out your ballot in your bathrobe at your kitchen counter! Just register before the deadline. It feels so great to say, "Dang, I actually did it! I voted!"
Keep the faith in Senator Obama for President! He has been a tireless, relentless, inspiring candidate on our behalf and we owe him the best of ourselves, no matter how exhausted and depressed we feel about the daunting road ahead.

4 years ago young people awoke, opened their minds and saw for themselves how our leadership was managing our country. Once that happened a new force awoke and took personal responsibility to make change happen. That was something very reminiscent of the 60’s movements and proved to be significant when the votes were counted. We may have lost the election but we won with a new and inspiring youth movement.

Today Obama has inspired young voters much in the same way, getting them to register in record numbers and become politically involved. Youth groups are working again to get the word our and openly discuss the current political state of our nation.

Today’s youth needs to take the next step and not only motivate their peers but also need to reach out and work to convince parents, grandparents their friends and family to vote. Many have lost hope and believe that their vote doesn’t count. I’ve heard this many times. Others still believe that there is no good choice; republican or democrat and that they will vote for some independent. That choice is a vote for McCain.

This is the work that needs to be done this election. Don’t count out elders – debate them, let them know that you don’t want the future to just more of the past 8 years.

I can’t see this country surviving another 4 more years of a republican presidency. I’m not just against McCain, I’m against the republican party.

I am a supporter of angry youth, disenfranchised masses of the general public, and ideological soapbox barkers. I am inclined however to point out the low production value of this release, albeit free to the public and wonderful for being so, and the negative effect that has on it's intention of stirring up the patriotic spirit of Americans. Also, throughout the film we the audience are aware of its unfortunate ending, and it is defeating to sit through an hour and a half of our past naivete.

But wait! A Cat Stevens cover by Eddie Vedder! Holy shit, and it isn't edited from it's original running time?! That changes everything!

Although I am a fan and supporter of Michael Moore, I feel that this chapter in his output somewhat cheapens his previously stellar releases and lessens his overall body of work.

Thoughts?

Great film for me because even though Michael Moore has one foot deeply entrenched in America and as an American but he presents raw footage of Americans who experienced the tour as it made its way through communities in America. One things seems beyond dispute Americans throughout this nation love to hear his passion for the America he believes in.

Ok that was the schmoozy response: great film, glad to see Americans care about the disaster that has been the GOP government, yada-yada.....Now let's get out and rock the vote again and make sure to finish the job we started, Let's take back America!

I'm going to download your movie from a p2p as you're blocking the free world to get it, just like you try to prevent Mexicans to come to your country...

daFilex · 1 year ago

Just finished watching the movie. Very similar to previous Moore films. Not the best but also not the worst. You could criticize that this work is biased. It seems to be the band-aid word for when you disagree but can't put together a coherent thought. In terms of a documentary film its just sloppy, good thing that its free. There's little to no pacing. Though you hear everyone cheering you still miss out on the interactivity from the audience being there. And when you do they're on the verge of fanatical. That said Moore's purpose is important. Its only a simple message, but it takes a fat man with a baseball cap to deliver it to a fat nation.

Now you may say "who is the fucktard acting a uppity", I'm not in your backasswards state, I'm not one of you patriots, and by all standards probably shouldn't be posting a message here. But i digress. From careful observation from a far you Democrats have one more chance to win an election, cuz you know that Palin lady is pretty much gonna fuckover the last two centuries of American culture. If you lose, you might want to consider getting the fouck out of dodge. I hear Cuba is pretty nice.

Absolutely amazing! What a great film to help push for a great election this November. No matter what the "bias" is in this film the message seems fair and even, no matter what the "Bush" side of it seems to be. Every word that he speaks is genuine and is not excluding the opinion of either side. I can not wait for this election year when the young vote WILL count and our voice will be heard.

In a close election, a 'get out the vote' drive can make the difference. My friends and I will watch the debates for the drama and spectacle, but we already know we don't want 4 more GOP years. America is aching for change. Btw, the girl at 18:48 in the yellow hoodie is gorgeous!

Bless you Mr.Moore for your courage & timeliness. As for the upcoming election here's my prognosis:

1. either you vote for McCain and we'll be headed for WW3 within his term of office

2. you vote for Obama and he'll likely be assasinated within his term of office.

3. you sit on your hands and do nothing thus enabling the Rebublicans to steal yet another election. ...and watch the fireworks as two of the most disastrous couple of clowns ever negotiate with the world's leaders with fundamentalist rhetoric & reckless bravado. I for one will never again visit your nation if that scenario plays out.

4. the eve of the election will be crucial. thus I fear and have in fact predicted for several years now; Bush will invade Iran on Nov.3rd during prime time news and declare a state of emergency in the US. The end result, Obama might lose the election when it does finally occur once the Republicans have suitable terrified you again as they did during the fraud of 911.This will only play out if the Repub's are certain of defeat.

Regardless it is paramount that you get out and VOTE. Otherwise Florida will again carry the shameful burden of relinquishing thousands of black American votes and McCai...believe it or not,and I shudder at this thought, the idiot could actually get into office.

Let's not allow that nightmare to become a reality.

I'm a Canadian and I just received my voting ballot in the mail. It arrives weeks before EVERY election. It is shameful that you should have to register to be counted. Here it is an assumed right. The Rebublicans are counting on your complacency, so much so that you decide to sleep through Nov.4th. Here's a thought, if each person reading this blog actually knocks on the door of your neighbors to the left and right of you...and make CERTAIN they intend to vote...well that would be a start.

Remember IF YOU'RE NOT PART OF THE SOLUTION THEN YOU'RE JUST PART OF THE PROBLEM.

I live in Marshfield, WI. This fall our town is doing a city wide book club. All the members of the community are invited to join in. The book was chosen months ago, but in the last few weeks this choice in books has taken on another meaning. Even if it is just to me. The book is Fahrenheit 451. The Republican VP candidate not only condones, but apparently encourages the banning of books that she does not see as appropriate. It may sound over-dramatic, but if these people somehow win this election, we are one step closer to the world that Orwell described. WE CANNOT LET THIS HAPPEN. Not again.

I was lucky enough to be able to go see Michael Moore when he visited the UW Stevens Point. The energy in the room that day was amazing. Then I spent the weekend before the election in Madison. Everyone I talked to wanted Bush out. It seemed impossible that we could lose. But, somehow we did.

The biggest difference in this election, for me, is having a candidate to vote for and not just one to vote against. I truly believe in Barak Obama and I know a lot of people who feel the same way. I turned 18 right before the 2000 elections and after having the last two elections stolen from me, I refuse to let it happen again. I will do what ever I can to help. Please do the same.

Jennifer in Chicago · 1 year ago

I was seventeen in 2000, six months shy of being able to vote for Al Gore. In Florida. My fury at the current administration started way back in 2000 with the endless jokes about hanging chads and Katherine Harris and I have a feeling it won't end until there is a Democrat in the White House. After 9/11 happened, I stopped listening to mainstream media. I could smell a propaganda campaign brewing almost two years away. I was informed. I was active. I was angry. And I did something. In 2004, I attended meetings of the League of Women Voters. I attended rallies for Kerry and Edwards. I put a sticker on my car and drove friends to the polls to vote. I left Florida this year for the bright blue city of Chicago. I live among some of the smartest and most highly educated students in the country, approximately six blocks from Barack Obama's house. You would think, living in such a blatantly liberal neighborhood in a very liberal city that no one around here is doing much to support the cause. We're not lazy liberals in Chicago. We don't just listen to Phil Ochs on our iPods and take pictures of Obama's house and buy t-shirts (2 for $15 at Walgreens!) and go on our merry way. We go to rallies. We volunteer to go to Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Iowa to make sure those states will be just as blue as Illinois. Even if you're in a blue state like I am, you can STILL DO SOMETHING. Register people to vote. Call your crazy relatives in Florida and Ohio and Wisconsin and tell them to think of you when they vote.

Joel · 1 year ago

Americans, you have another big responsibility this year. Beyond the fact that this may be the most urgent election in HUMAN history with consequences that could determine the future of our planet....there's an equally great task at hand. You have a regime in power that orchestrated THE most appauling crime in history upon its own people. 911 was planned for years, not by Bin Laden, but in fact by a generation of radical neo-cons bent on establishing a New World Order and Police State in your neighborhood. Here's the circus of clowns; Chaney, Bush Sr., Wolfivitz, Poindexter, Rumsfeld & The Saudis. Did I miss anyone? I feel a certain comfort living in Canada, but honesty our nation is ready to follow in step once the pieces are in place. For god's sake America WAKE UP and remember Information is power.

I think unity is the key and answer for a better world. Michael Moore is a brave, sensible person who goes to some damaging extremes to express it's views. I don't think it's fair to have a important part of the citizens of this country who happen to hold a more republican stand as ignorant, religious jerks who can speak properly or articulate their postures in an elegant fashion. and this is the key a because let's face it there are very few 100% republicans or democrats not only in this coutry but in the whole world. Mos people are in between and most care mainly for the same things so the democrat and republican partition is nor real but only for a few extremist who need to find an identity positioning themselves against others.

Eric · 1 year ago

Let me begin by saying that I am a Democrat, I voted for Kerry, I will vote for Obama and I am appalled that GW Bush served as our president for 8 years. I appreciate Michael Moore's enthusiasm and committment, and I feel that I would agree with him on most issues.

This film did not impress me however. I found it quite boring and almost pointless. For all his efforts, it didn't work. What's the point? Kerry lost. I think that he is offering this film for free because nobody would pay to see it. I was streaming it over my computer and I was so bored that I started doing other things. Moore does not excel at making clear, convincing arguments and inspiring messages. He seems to excel at crude and simple emotional appeals to the already converted. It reminded me of the expression "with friends like these, who needs enemies?" Tossing out ramen and clean underwear gives the message that democrats are white trash who don't change their underwear. The speech from Roseanne Barr was embarrassing. She should not be a spokesperson for anything. The wildly enthusiastic applause and laughter for some of the speakers did not seem warranted based upon what they were saying.

I don't want to be overly negative, but I don't think that Michael Moore is a particularly good spokesperson for the Democratic party. I appreciate his efforts more when he is not on camera. He is not a particularly attractive person to look at, and I think he should concentrate on behind the camera work.

I do think it is crucial to get out the vote. I also think that we need to elect our president by popular vote, the electoral college system is undemocratic.

Fantastic movie! I am involved in a campaign in a 'Red Zone" right now, and because of the effort in 2004, we knew what to do to close the voter gap here, and we've done it. Across the country, we have seen the biggest voter registration drive in history, and it is time to take our country back.

Michael Moore is inspiring, but the film scared me- He's right that "no one cries in politics," but to think that after all those "one more days" we actually gave the Neocon criminals 4 more years. I sent the Obama-site "register to vote" notice to my mailing list- I'm leaving a Landmark Education course early on Friday to watch the first debate, I designed a bumper sticker- Biden / OBAMA, not Mini-Me and Mama! and am distributing bumper stickers for free. I have donated money I don't really have. I will go door to door and make phone calls. I frankly think Obama is our last chance- this "democratic" republic is in a free fall- This year's Swift Boat is named Sarah Palin. McCain has sunk lower than Bush did. If not Now, then when?

I just viewed the film / ordered the free copy for the college I teach at / and a personal copy to pass around/
I am a mature woman, who as a young woman, protested the Vietnam war with a baby on my back. We were spit on, threatened, as we passed out flyers to end the war. We needed to make a difference, and here we are , still watching our young going out to kill. Is there something wrong with this picture ? Are we or are we not civilized ? Michael's film warmed my heart and teared my eyes as i watched the incredible young students
with hopeful , bright futures embrace his message. This is the stuff Jesus and all other prophets were made of . Thank you, Michael. Thank you young people. You are on the right track. This time it will make a difference.

morteza · 1 year ago

I thought this was a fantastic movie, and I hope it inspires more of the younger voters to vote. Its just as simple as that, younger voters equal more liberal administration, resulting in a more tolerant world. It is true for all countries. As for me I don't live in the US to make a difference in the election down there. But I will do my best to kick the Bush's protege up here north of the border (Stephen Harper) out of the office in our upcoming election which is roughly about the same time as the US election. Good luck to all tolerant and compassionate voters everywhere.

John · 1 year ago

Although the film itself isn't the calibre of "Fahrenheit 911" and the others, it's intent is understood and meaningful. Michael Moore is an "everyman" who is a Patriot comparative to people like John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. I applaud Moore's willingness to be "unpopular" and against the status quo ; he has a dangerous mission, and he's one brave guy... It will be great to see Obama bring to fruition, the collapse of the Bush dictatorship regime, and have a new beginning for ALL Americans, not just the ones deluded by Bush and the neo-cons.

This is the first election I've bothered to register to vote in since the 80's ; it's about time to take back our country from King George II. He's ruled and bumbled our country, our poor soldiers, and our economy into the ground, long enough. Truly a man born without a conscience, if there ever was one.

Thank you, Michael - for having the balls to do something effectual, about it.

Does it really matter whether Michael Moore's films are "biased"? They get people to think. And to feel. Make up your own mind. Do some research. Do more than vote! Get involved. Get everyone you know registered and make sure they get to the polls or vote by mail. Try to talk sense into your parents if they need it. Volunteer through barackobama.com or MoveOn. I am assuming, of course, that if you did all of the requisite research and soul searching , the only conclusion you can come to is that Barack Obama MUST be elected the next President. I am doing everything in my power to help make this happen, and allow Michael Moore to move on to another topic. (I hope this doesn't put me into the insane category: that is, doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result). I am helping put on an Obama fundraiser for 120 people in my neighborhood this weekend. I phonebank as often as I can, and I will be traveling to a battleground state with my son, who lives in yet another state, to canvas together as a multigenerational team at the end of the month. I plan to be a precinct captain as I was during the primary. Young people, I hope you're still fired up and ready to go! We Boomers need your energy and your inspiration. And Obama needs your votes! YES WE CAN!

Crallspace · 1 year ago

This was an overall great film, as is expected from Michael Moore. A lot of interesting points were covered and it was pretty energizing even though we lost, we ALL lost, when Bush was "elected" a 2nd time. I use quotes since even the Govt. Accountability Office made a pretty detailed report on the antics pulled in Ohio. By the way, I wish the film had acknowledged or even briefly explained the way the Bush machine stole Ohio. More info on the thievery is at http://freepress.org/departments/display/19/200...

I liked the Eddie Vedder song, but afterward, the music got a little old at times. Especially the "neighbor of Al Gore" song... totally dumb! I did appreciate that there were songs in the film, but I eventually started skipping them, especially when back to back.

The incidents surrounding Moore's appearance at Utah Valley state college were the subject of a documentary called "This Divided State." Very interesting film, made by a really talented film maker. It was his first film I believe. http://www.thisdividedstate.com/

Not to plug a whole bunch of other things though. This is a really good film with a lot of bits of wisdom from the speakers and Moore himself. Thanks so much, Mr. Moore, for all you do for our democracy, and thanks SO much for holding the media's feet to the fire the way you do, especially when they come at you with the whole, "But aren't your films just propaganda?" Thanks also for offering this film for free on the web! You rock, Michael! A true patriot!

Being Canadian, I have no way to cast a ballot in your upcomming election but I sincerely hope all who are able to vote do so. We have our own federal election in the next few weeks and I will once again cast my vote as I see best for my own country. Whether or not the party (or party leader) I vote for wins, I know that I have made my voice heard and will have the right to call on those leaders when inequities pop-up. If you don't vote, you have no right to complain.

Beyond the rhetoric of Michael Moore, go out and vote because you live in a democracy. YOU have the choice unlike the many who live in countries where the rich/religious elite/monarchy/despotic control absolutely everything.

Make yourself counted and try to get those you know to vote. Every vote matters.

The sad part is that the same people that require motivation from Michael Moore to go out and vote will probably look to him for who they should vote for and never do any research on their own. Michael Moore expects his viewers to be too stupid or too lazy to do the work to make their own decisions. Read for yourselves people and not from websites biased one way or the other. Please!

Michael - to me - YOU ARE A REAL AMERICAN HERO. I would not have been able to afford to see this movie if you had not made it available, the people around me have picked me clean and what little I have goes to medicine and food.

Interesting film, of course all of his films are, he seems to know everything, maybe he should run for president and put his actions where his mouth is. What am I going to do between now and election day is to think very hard and try to make the right choice, which in the long run really doesn't mean anything, they talk the talk and tell you that they will do this and do that, but once in office really nothing changes, the rich get richer and the poor, well forget about them, so Michael looks like you'll have more material for another film.

I can only stand in awe of the kind of person that can go out and do what it is Moore does. I am a lazy person at heart, and admit to slacking for many years when it came to voting. It wasn't until after the first election to bush, that I stood up and did what I could. I knew deep down inside, that a box of triskets could run the country better than that of our current president. So Kerry couldn't do any worse. And I sat in California, feeling still, that my vote didn't count for as much as it should of. And on we went with bush, because of a percentage that didn't vote, education being as it is had doomed us all.

Being 32, I have been a conspiracy nut for years before 2000. When telling anyone about what is was that my opinions pointed towards, all the horn blowing in the world would still only get me to one rebuttal. "Why do you talk about this stuff? You can't change the world."

Sometimes I sit and listen to republicans talking to one another, and hear a whole different set of realities within the republicans state of mind, and on one side of wondering if they are mad, I also wonder how they get to those conclusions they come to for they are oppose to where my beliefs are set. They do believe what they are saying is true, as much as I do not.

Being not political at all, and only being forced to be democrat for my fear of evil republican domination, I am inspired when someone can come forth, and try to change the world. Offer a voice of clarity in places no one wants to look. Perhaps I never will be a voice of change, or a catalyst for new tides to come. But I will continue to pass on works of art such as these. I will to anyone and everyone, and can only hope everyone can do the same.

interesting film.

one problem I have is not actually with Michael Moore, the woman singing the "Finnish National Anthem" is not actually singing the real national anthem, she may be singing a finish folk song, or some other nations national anthem, but it is not the official anthem of Finland. does this invalidate the movie? no, but it does start to bring doubt little bit by little bit, if little facts like that are incorrect, what about the big claims that are harder to act check?

just so you know, I was not looking to verify facts, I was simply looking for the lyrics, since it is a pretty song.

Looking back at the last 4 years of the Bush Admin. and the hope in the "slackers" eyes before the 2004 election makes me sad and brings me to tears. No more. No more. No more. We can do better. We deserve better. The Republican party has lost touch with America. The Republican party with its deregulation and trickle down ways have shown their inability to lead such a diverse and populated country as the USA. Let them manage the Country Club board, the local Hospital board if they desire power. They don't get it. It is about fairness stupid. It is about raising up instead of breaking down. It is about doing what is right instead of doing what is in one's interest. Vote whatever you want but you reap what you sow.

where was congress? The congress has done more damage to this country than any one president could ever do. Oversight is congresses job. They have not done it. They will not do it.

How many of them are looking out for their own interest? How many of them are screwing us? Where was Dodd? taking money from Fanny and Freddy. Where was Obama? taking money from Fanny and Freddie.
Obama talks about mccain's relationship with lobbists, what about Obama relationship with the CEO's of Fanny and Freddie who actually screwed the the people he claims he cares about.
Who approves these guys paychecks? congress. Who approved their golden parachutes? congress. Who sits on the committee? Dodd. maybe Fanny and Freddie are Obama's wmds and Obama's 9-11.

Re: JTLANS
dude,
Where did you get your facts? I think you're confusing socialism with communism. I suggest that you go to the library. then again, that library is ran and funded by our dollars. Hmm.... socialism. Not only your library .......so are Them street lights, signs and roads that you drive on. So are schools and law enforcement. Our most "free" time in history was called the wild west. ( not a good time for common folk).
that "republic" that you mention never existed. first we killed off most native Americans. then enslaved Blacks. ...We the People... only pertained to rich white men. Women, Blacks and others were not even allowed to voted, work for money, etc..
as for our scientist.... the vast majority believe man made global warming exist. then comes an ice age. Al Gore is a hero. you probably won't understand that til you're sitting on your igloo wandering when the sun,s going to shine. By the way. taxing the Iraqis would be socialism. If we do not help the less fortunate, we should pay the people that flip our burgers, make our beds, make our close, a hell of a lot more. Then we won't have help them. Folks... socialism is just regulation. Deregulation is like the wild west. only those with the biggest guns will win. JT, you need to show some humanity!!!!

I would like to know more about the people who voted for Bush. Hopefully the current election will not end with Bush 3 in the White House.

Just one question... why do we want more people to vote? Especially people who weren't inclined and motivated enough to vote in the first place!

I can almost guarantee you that anyone who is seriously following the issues, the debates and the candidates will be voting this year because they care. Otherwise, they wouldn't be watching the debates, would they? They will all be making informed, educated decisions.

Now, here's Michael Moore and he wants to get "slackers" to vote. The term slacker implies somebody who is apathetic, avoids work and is careless. Are those the kinds of people that we want voting for our next president?

The right to vote is a privilege and a great one, at that. If some portion of the population is not motivated enough to care one way or another who becomes president and cannot grasp what a great opportunity voting really is, then who are you (Michael Moore) to push those people to make what is ultimately a random choice as to who becomes the next president.

If everyone was properly and unbiasedly educated on the candidates and the issues, then I would whole-heartedly applaud your efforts, but that's not something that you can push on them. They have to figure that out for themselves; and if voting wasn't on their to-do list, then I doubt that in-depth research on who could be the next president is either.

Voting is a privilege, but it's also a responsibility and just because you've given thousands of people a voice doesn't mean that they're going to know how to use it.

That's not completely true - those who did not vote or "slackers" oftentimes come from indecisiveness and/or past disappointments. For example, my fellow Christian friends want to vote for McCain because of the abortion issue, yet they are against guns and violence by all means. How do they reconcile? By NOT voting. They are equally, if not more so, informed then most Americans because they have the 'ivory tower syndrome', but their choice to stay home or at work on election day comes from pure indecisiveness.
Then there are others, my parents for example, who believe that neither candidates have a proven record to do the job needed to bring America back to life. They have been disappointed by the politics of the last decade and feel that their vote isn't going to make a difference when neither candidates are good enough to vote for in the first place. My 'slacker' friends tell me that they're sick and tired of having to choose the lesser of two evils and they would rather use their time wisely on other things that are important in fostering social justice (like mentoring underprivileged kids).
However, Michael Moore is trying to dispel the cynicism and lethargy from these 'slackers' which will bring more swing and lackluster voters to the polls. As the saying goes, it's better to have tried and failed then to not have tried at all. I give kudos to MM for trying, trying, and trying some more! We just can't quit until we have the America that our founding fathers have envisioned for us!

MM is my hero! I'm in CA so basically preaching to the choir, but will try to get ppl I know out of state (esp. battleground areas) to go vote!

Hello wonderful people! I'm a 46-years gal, living in MN. I work 48-hours a week @ 10.00 an hour, just to survive. I'm a Personal Care Assistant, and work for a remarkable young man with DMD, who is my best friend and is as close to a brother as can be. He's my BUD, which is why I'm sticking to this job. As a friend, I sub for any absentee-sick co-workers so he's never alone. He votes absentee, every election, be it federal or state, and he's disabled!!! PLEASE, PLEASE VOTE this NOV. 4!!!! Our world, and our country, as we know it, hangs in balance. This Is the most IMPORTANT election in our history of America. I can't volunteer, knock on doors, make phone calls, host election parties, like everyone else is in this state. So I donate $25 - $50 per pay period to the Obama Campaign. I have to do without a few things, but this money can help him finance his bid for President. I wish I could do more. I have been following this election closely, through independent news outlets via WEB, and Political BLOGS with up to date Polling, info. When I find an article of concern, I emaiil it to his campaign (Like the article showing Voter Purging in swing states, eliminating the homeless voters who lost their homes as a result of the foreclosure crisis). I hope everyone realises how important they are, and that their voices have found a listener in Obama, and think about a world, and out country restored, being responsible so we all can finally have some stability. End the war in Iraq, and reinvest that money, in health care, alternative energies which will create jobs that cannot be out sourced, and everyone can go to college if wants/need be, live where ever and feel safe. If you want even just one of these things, then vote, for OBAMA. I'm counting down the days to vote eagerly with more excitement than I've felt since youth. On NOV 4, I'm CASTING MY VOTE with everyone in mind. Finally, Michael Moore, I Love the movie and keep up your great career. We are all better people because of you. THANKS....... EDIE

Mike · 1 year ago

Ok so here is another tactic that is so obvious that it should really scare you if it works. So Michael Moore has a movie out called "Slacker Uprising". It talks about his failed attempt to help Kerry win the election even though Kerry defeated himself. It shows how the republicans used religion to sway Christians to not vote for Kerry. Even calling Michael Moore the anti-christ. This is a very powerful movie and it will show everyone how these tactics fooled a lot of voters. Watch it here and spread it to everyone you know. Anyway so perfect timing for a movie to come out trying to discret Michael Moore. The movie is called "An American Carol" I have not seen the movie yet but the trailer looks like the movie is making Moore look like an idiot who protest against everything and doesn't even know what he's fighting against. Even though this movie already looks horrible, I ask everyone to boycott this movie. Let them know that they cannot trick us anymore with fake bells and whistles. DONT BE FOOLED!!!! This is very important to me because I can see the outcome of this tactic. Everyone I urge you to see Michael Moores movie . Everything that we were fighting against in 2004 came true today. More deaths in the war, a failing economy, big CEOs getting richer while the hard workers of this country grow poor and lose jobs. "There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again".(President Bush) PLEASE GET OUT AND VOTE. QUESTION EVERYTHING!!! EXAMINE THE NEWS AND SEE HOW PROPAGANDA IS SPEWED AND LIES ARE BEING TOLD. PLEASE FOR EVERYONES SAKE, VOTE FOR THE BETTER MAN THIS TIME!!!!! -Thank you-Mike

I love this movie. I live right in the middle of Texas - Red precinct in a red town in a red county in a red state. Nothing I can do about that, but I am block captain for the Democratic party in my precinct, I have been out block-walking for my local and state Democrat candidates and I have been writing letters and harassing folks to no end - PAY ATTENTION! DO SOMETHING! I go out every day wearing my "Diplomats Do It With Word" dog-tag and my free-Obama pin. I have 3 bumper stickers- Bush's 3d Term = McCain, If you voted for Bush, a yellow ribbon won't make up for it, and Obama/Biden '08. I post everything I can post on Facebook and I am a loud and vocal supporter of everyone who publicly denounces the complete farce that is the 2008 GOP presidential ticket.

As a former Republican and Alaskan all I can say is ...go Obama... To watch this country that I love so go down like this under the Bush administration is the making of an end time bio. Now once again we have a choice. The same disastrous govt. or better. I have trouble with the apathy by some who let this to go on. Those who say just don't watch the news. I say- watch and listen and then go vote. (MSNBC and CNN have good coverage and of course the movies by Michael Moore-911, Sicko etc.). We can not let fear control our lives nor let greed rule. Trickle down economics (by the way the top just keeps the dough) or bottom up, that is the question? I plan to continue to care about this country and I hope that McSame loses in Nov.

Guess because I've been working on the Obama campaign pledging "NOT AGAIN, NOT ON MY WATCH" that I didn't really see the point of a film about the 2004 elections. I know the heartbreak we all felt here in Ohio the day after the elections. We know our votes were stolen between the malfunctioning machines and the machinations of our Secretary of State, Blackwell. And yet, when our female Ohio representative stood up to get some support to challenge the numbers in Ohio, only 1 other bothered to stand up with her. That's when I knew that change would never come from the top. Like Obama said, change comes TO Washington, not FROM Washington.

If folks need a film like this to remind them of that....then I guess the film serves its purpose. But for the rest of us, especially those of us in Ohio who felt our right to vote was stolen from us, we never forgot!

Thank you Michael Moore. You are a true patriot. I wish there were more people like you, but we're lucky to have even one of you! I was somewhat depressed reliving 2004 again with this movie, but you're right, they don't win until we give up. There is always hope. We'll keep fighting. You are my hero.

I became an election inspector this year partly because after "W" stole the election I was so angry, then later after 911 when we invaded a country in spite of the united nations, how could that happen? I think the point needs to be made more about how many Iraqi people have died during this occupation. I don't think we realize what the actual death toll is. I can't tell you how many 18 - 30 year olds don't vote, have never voted. They think their vote won't matter. Thank you for reaching out to them. I pray we take this country back.

Thank you thank you thank you Michael Moore! I am a suburban white woman voter in a swing state. And I am NOT letting McCain pander to me! Neither are the women I know. This election, I've been inspired by YOU to do everything I can to get the truth to my fellow women, and everybody else! I've been assaulting friends and family with daily emails exposing the truth about Palin and McCain. I am canvassing my neighborhood with the Democrat running for state rep and speaking with neighbors about Obama. I am talking to my father and brother, both registered Republicans, on a weekly basis to make sure they turn OFF Fox News and get their news from reputable sources. NEVER AGAIN will I sit idly by and let the wrong person get into the highest office in this land. Thank you Michael Moore for showing us what a TRUE PATRIOT is!!!

I am a Canadian, but as I'm sure you know we are having a similar and close race at almost the same time. I am SO going to vote, and will also be telling everyone I know to vote, making sure they know where to register, what kind of ID they will need, where their polling station is, where to find out the facts on various platforms, etc. I will not be biased about influencing who to vote for, because I know that statistically speaking, good voter turnout is better for the liberals, poor voter turnout is better for the conservatives.

Anyone who fails to vote without a good reason is a lazy idiot.

We always hear that our current problems and issues will one day be dealt with by our children. How long have we heard this? Too long I believe and yet now that so many young people want to be active in politics, these very people do everything they can to stop it. So when will they LET, or think, their children should take over and fix what they have failed to do. It's time for these changes to be made. That's why I love the film and it shows that we have the power and ideas from progressive thinkers yet our old leaders, and parents, prevent changes from happening.

As a non-US citizen, yet a US resident, I wish America would wake up and do something about this whole situation... I can't believe how people – especially young adults – can be manipulated by the media; if only they opened up their eyes for just a second to realize that this country is going down and is bringing the World with it because of a selfish group of people who know people who would rather take millions for themselves rather than help out a nation and make our World a better place.

I want to live in America; I'm working hard to obtain my citizenship, but I might have to reconsider this option should the Republican Party take office once again. I hope that America has learned from the Bush Administration's mistakes and will not repeat them.

Moore seriously....the film was great and to the world I say " ...not again...not here...not now...not Nov. 2nd." We are in a depression masked by the media. Buy or lease some land because the folks left standing will be whose with worthless paper money....or those who have land to grow food, water to water their crops and chickens to eat, enjoy their eggs and fertilize their crops with the chicken's compost.

Thank you Sir Michael Moore. you are a true inspiration to the rest of us. Between now and Nov.2nd....I am going to give away free car bumber stickers that say...."Not Again...Vote Obama 2008"

Michael Moore, you are my hero!
We are all slackers.
As a baby of a 'baby boomer', i was very critical of my parents generation. The old hippies were supposed to DO SOMETHING to make the world a better place. They had the Kennedys, MLK, and Malcom. But they just got high, sold out, voted for Reagan, shop at Walmart, and funded the Contras.
So then I was supposed to do something. OK - outspoken- anti war rally attending, donate money to the dnc/planned parenthood/NOW, alienate all conservatives by questioning their bad choices in public, etc.
And although I voted for Dukakis, Clinton, Gore, Kerry.......I didn't do enough. My kids will hold me accountable. And I promise to work harder. Freedom isn't free. It costs 190 billion or so....

I would just like to say that this will be the first year I can vote in a presidential election and the second time I've volunteered to work for the Democratic campaign. I feel obligated to tell you (proverbial you) that films like this, watching with my own eyes the potential that I, and the person sitting next to me have, to stand up and say something and have it be heard, gives me renewed faith that fleeing the country (next bus to Canada) or giving up hope won't make my life better. There are hundreds of thousands of people, united in a common belief that our country can be great, telling me that I have a country worth fighting for, a country worth staying for, a country with the potential to give back to its people what they have given to it, and for that, I am truly grateful to live here. Micheal Moore (again, proverbial you) your films may show the world from your point of view and could be interpreted as biased, but the message is universal. Thank you.

If (god forbid) Mccain wins this election i will be leaving this country, to ashamed of my fellow americans, and in fear of the future of our entire nation.
My greatest fear is that this is all a masterfully written soap opera, and we really have no choice in the matter, only led to believe we do.
The electoral college is bullshit and should be eliminated. Each americans vote should count! Please america, save us from doom, vote for the Democrats (and in the future the Ron Paul revolution!!!)

It's funny to me that so many young American's can whine and complain about the economy and how they cannot find jobs. HELLO. It's this way because of Bush. It was never like this before. Now for the past twenty years people have been knocking Michael down. But he hasn't stopped. Everyone pushes for people to be different, now here's Michael VOICING his opinion with FACTS and people still have a problem with it. The way I look at it is hey, there's a million other movies you can watch, a thousand other lives you can intervene with, a hundred news channels you can watch that he's not on and as much as you may hate it, only one Michael Moore. Keep doing what your doing, for the people that have a problem with it, guess what. Mike got just what he was trying to do. Get his message to be heard. And you listened, you may not have agreed, but you heard.

I am an 18 year old female from Washington State. I'm a college student, and a registered voter.
I just watched Slacker Uprising. As proud as I felt for those young voters, I couldn't help but feel the disgust I felt in 04 on November 2nd when Bush was declared president again.
Young Americans turned out in record numbers because they were PISSED. Now it's our turn.
Sure maybe McCain isn't the anti-christ, in reality, anything has to be better than what we have now. But it's just "more of the same". What we have had for the past 8 years obviously isn't working. We are wasting so much money, and news flash: the rich aren't helping us. There is no trickle down effect.
I'm sad that our country has let us down so much, we have the chance to be great, but instead half of us sit back and choose to be uninformed, or let our parents make our decisions for us.
We are old enough to be out of our parents house. We are old enough to vote. Take advantage of the privilege we are given.
I don't want 4 more years of the same. That's why I'm voting for Obama. He's young, he's different and he actually cares about all Americans. He cares about you he cares about me. He isn't into politics for the power, he's in it for the good.
Besides, what is our other choice? McCain? I mean I said before that he isn't the anti-christ, but that doesn't mean he's good for us. He used to be a pretty good guy, but I don't trust him, he's sold out. He used to actually be fairly bi-partisan, but he's caving. Not only that... Sarah Palin has said to be even more right winged than GW. She has been caught in lies about her own decisions. She even tried to ban books in the Library of the town she was Mayor of. Sarah Palin disgusts me and I am appalled that Republicans would stoop so low to think that because she has a vagina I would want to vote for her. If McCain dies (which he might, he's so freaking old), she will be our president. This "hockey mom" who has a disgraceful amount of political experience. I don't want her running my country.
I'm just disgusted at our current administration. I feel betrayed and lied to, basically. I don't think politics should be such a deceitful game. We are supposed to be "by the people, for the people". But we aren't either right now.
Which is why we have to get out there and vote for change.

Michael Moore, you are my hero, and you have been since the day I watched Fahrenheit 911. Another great, awe inspiring movie, now let's try to win one this time (and keep it won).

Don't give up- we all have to fight for decency and social justice for all!

The whole world does NOT hate Americans, I think the vast majority of Americans are fantastic. Keep fighting for what's right, and no matter who is elected in November- make sure your representative hears your voice loud and clear- write, call, volunteer.

Tell me - oh please, tell me - that Canadians don't actually buy this stuff. Surely we've gotten past the anti-American myths that we love to circulate. Michael Moore doesn't care about facts. Don't bother sharing this with Canadians.

Jeff · 1 year ago

When Fox News has decided that the sky is now green, this becomes the "facts" that Michael doesn't care about. The "conservatives" (not by historic standards by the way) would have us be as lazy, "slacker" if you will, to not look for the truth ourselves and to extend that to our brothers north of our boarder. But if you have the ability to watch the canadian news, they are not as restricted to present a varied opinion of our government as our media has allowed itself to be.

This is a pure example of the divided america that the current administration has worked so hard to create. The whole "If you don't see it our way, you are absolutely wrong". This black and white divide of opinions builds on the wrong side of the quote, "United we stand, divided we fall."

I am a Precinct Captain, a County and State delegate for Obama and I'm still a volunteer when I can. My son is voting for the first time, he's 20 for this election, and he's been right there with me during most of our volunteer efforts. It's been great seeing so many people his age get involved in this election and I have hope that we will win this November.

Keep an eye on my old home state of Michigan for me Michael and I'll do my part here in Nevada.

The time for the political parties to back us to the wall in fear is over. If we can only stop getting stired-up in the emotional nonsence of "Abortion," "Gay rights", and "education" (not that it is not important). We all know they will only maybe make a token effort on one of these issues when in office, and only use it to deflect us from the real issues while running for office. I feel we really need one of the two parties to be voted out and be replaced by a new party-even if for a single term...to show them we are sick of the status quo. Until then...its the least of the two evils... :(
Maybe we'll get lucky and have a Dem that will act like those representatives from yester year-and fight for ALL of us :) I for one will be voting in FLorida...and guess who I'm not voting for?

Michael Moore is the Republican's best friend. His credibility has been so thoroughly degraded that he has become a "weak assonant" argument for Democrats. The more he says in favor of voting Democrat, the less credible the Democrats seem. Keep speaking, keep filming, Michael. I'm sure the Obama campaign is praying you'd just fall silent.

jbentle40 · 1 year ago

I voted for George Bush in the last two elections. I have come to realize now that I did it because I have been influenced by my LARGE, Conservative Catholic Family. I have grown since then with my education. Yes, I do agree that Michael Moore's films are biased towards the Democratic Party. However, as it is reiterated throughout the film, the First Amendment gives the right for free speech. So now we address the issue of POWER... I have grown to develop the idea of "putting yourself in their shoes". If the Power was reversed, and the Democrats controlled Free Speech as the Republicans' "Power" did throughout this Film, you would react in exactly the same way. If you don't agree, then you are not reading this rationally and can STOP READING (that IS YOUR RIGHT!).

I have a Brother-in- Law who has two purple hearts from his two "tours" in Iraq. He was proud to serve his country, but often wakes up in panics from PTS Syndrome. He still serves in the Military as a Staff Seargant.

I have come to understand that my ignorance in regards the "the bigger idea" is a direct result of my blind acceptance of Conservative ideals. Expose yourself to the existence of life beyond what you know (honestly and without bias). Standing behind your belief in your God does not permit you to speak for Him (or Her).

I am a Graduate student and am looking forward to the Democrats' Power shift. I hope that my vote for Obama will correct my ignorant mistakes in the past and redeem a culture that has been oppressed for too long.

There is a lot to be learned form the last election, most of it has been said here already. But folks, reading through this and observing how the left is behaving again this election, has got me worried. We have got to be careful.

Here's the deal: We need to vote like Republicans

We can't afford to bicker and complain about what Obama is or is not. We need to get him into office. We need to vote like Republicans, grab our favorite issue, forget about all the other bull and vote.

Forget your differences, forget about making Obama better or improving the party line or the picture of leadership perfection you have in your head and vote. The Republican base doesn't waffle and wonder about 'what if's'. They show up and vote against abortion. They show up and vote for getting the towel-heads back for 9-11. They show up and vote cause they're scared that a tidal wave of brown people will surge up from down south and steal away every single cashier job at Walmart and maid's position in motel 6s across the Good old US of A.

And they don't care that the Republicans have stolen their Right to Heath, a job and a roof over their heads. They don't care if their candidate broke some rules or made an unfortunate comment or doesn't support the precise social agenda they dreamed up during the last 4 years of upheaval.

REPUBLICANS keep it simple. they walk in and vote.

Jump on board folks, get Obama elected and make sure he gets into office when he wins that vote.

The lion is no longer at our doorstep, it is curled up on our couch. We will not have another chance at this. We must act, act now and push with everything we've got. Now is not the time to pull backa nd pray for a perfect world. Now is the time to get the one man who can, at the very least, inch the path of history back toward sanity and away from disaster.

For once lest all embrace our inner Republican, send that check now, knock on those doors now, rally your friends and relatives together now, keep this hope alive now and on Nov 4th vote. Think later.

I'm Canadian. I understand that American politics affect the entire planet and even more my country because we are close neighbours. I'm very far to the left, so I enjoy your representation of the political world because I fundamentally agree with you, but man, this movie is a reminder of a failure. Hopefully, it will convince people to vote carefully this time, in this election, for the leftwing Democrats, but it is a little sad to watch such enthusiasm end up in failure after 90 minutes. I'm a fan, so I respect your work and I get the idea, but dude, please, return to the original documentary work and focus on exposing the reasons that make our side the right option: equality of choice, freedom of thinking, and acceptance. Thank you for your personal investment.

Another great film from Michael Moore! A MUST-SEE for all .... especially those who are "undecided". What I'm doing between now and election day is volunteering time at Senator Obama's Office for Change ... as much as the prior two elections were important, this seems even more important. This is such a crucial election!! I hope that all will take this seriously and get out, vote, spread the word, educate themselves (NOT JUST FROM MAINSTEAM TV, but from the news stations online and not mainstream sources. Try pbs.og, even youtube.com).... We have to get to the truth behind the screen of the "safety net" of today's media. Unregulated internet news is a great start.

Canadians are facing the same type of election and the same type of candidates. A paradigm shift is at hand.

Don't believe Michael Moore when he says that the conservatives have made a hash of it... listen to Wall Street begging for 70 billion dollars of your tax dollars to fix the way things have been handled for the last 8 years.

The financial picture speaks volumes, and will cross all borders. On election day I want change.

I can't seem to get a full-length version of the film in AVI format. I downloaded from two different soucres, and both of my copies end around 1:08 into the film.

The MP4 version of it (which I also downloaded) has the full-length version... but of course, I can't burn MP4 to CD easily... nor can I find freeware that will convert MP4 to another format. So I can't put it in DVD and share it with the folks who asked me to make a DVD of it for them.

Thanks Michael!

I enjoyed the film but remain disconcerted that the bush/cheney ticket was elected once again in 2004. Look at the 'mess' that the GOP has left in its wake! Wow!

We need the Michael Moores of this country even more during this election cycle, though I can't see how anyone will be able to fix what the GOP has left us after 8 dismal years.

I am not an American citizen, nor live in the USA. I am from Belgium.

But as a member of the international community (as all of us are), I realize that this coming election is not only crucial for your country, but also for the entire world.

Outside of the US, hundred of millions of people are following polls' results, discussing possible turnouts and assessing candidates'programs. And take it as you wish, but a significant majority agree with Obama and if they were to vote, McCain wouldn't even stand a chance to win the election.

Outside the US, where there are no voting pressures related to your presidential election, no biased media in this respect, where people's opinion are less subject to media's influence, a majority recognizes itself in the democrat candidate. I have talked to liberals, conservatives, socialists, greens and christian democrats, and most of them would vote for a democrat in the US.

But WHY is it so? Our primary concerns in the non-US world are related to your foreign policy (FP), economy and environmental policies.
In FP, McCain offers old strategies, while Obama defends a more multilateral vision of the world.
In Economy, McCain prones ultraliberalism as did his predecessor, reducing taxes without directly attacking the national public debt, bigger than ever.
For the environment, McCain suggests to invest in nuclear energy... instead of using clean energies such as solar or wind. On the other hand, Obama took a clear step against global warming and engaged himself to reach quantified objectives.

The humanity is concerned by preserving its environment, by having a fair distribution of power and by a stable world economy. Non-US citizens recognize themselves in the democrat candidate BECAUSE they pursue similar goals.

On behalf of the rest of the world, please, brothers and sisters of America, stand up and vote for Obama, for the sake of the entire humanity!

Dear Mr. Moore and team,


Despite the impossibility on downloading the movie by the official means, THEY DID NOT STOPPED ME to watch it...

My intentions are only to let you know how i consider the role of the whole team involved in the creation and distribution of this document that has vital importance on the information that needs to be available all across the world, for everyone who wishes to have an opinion and understanding on why thing turn out to be so messed up and wicked.
The dreamers (like myself) believe that, great tasks and noble work lead to change.

Many thanks for making the effort and providing us a source of information that will for sure make a difference.

i was wondering why it was called slacker uprising. in 2004 i guess it was the slackers going out and creating an uprising to the failure of the administration. now it seems like slacker uprising makes me think of a rising number in slackers because of the loss of hope after the failed attempt to get bush out of the white house in 04'. i guess i could say i was one of those people. i felt like, "who cares? why vote or do anything ever again to help because it gets you nowhere." but i guess this is showing that just because we lost doesn't mean we should stop fighting. it shows that we weren't invisible and that we did make a difference. it shows how close we were to our goal and that it wasn't the young people's fault. we went out at record numbers and voted. it was the older voters fault. so now we just have to revive that spirit and push just a bit more than last time.

Don't let them pass and get things worst than there already are. It is time for Occident to choose humanism and should I say to become a democracy again.
I heard Sarah Palin's interview few weeks ago, I though Bush was the worst american leader we can have, but I was wrong... This woman seems to be a great danger...
Please, for all of us, vote Obama.

Why doesn't Moore take on the media, the networks?. . . surely he can afford it. Kent State and Mayor Daily debacles etc are when everything really changed. Check your history Mike. Where do all these people get their info and come to conclusions to be on the right or left beside family tradition?

We used to get sick every night seeing what was going on in Viet Nam. That was the news. What our boys and the people were really experiencing. I remember so well how even the most die hard hawks got so sick of knowing and seeing what was really going on then. No embeds. Truth in reporting. Full view. The news was a public not private interest medium.

The networks actually competed for the public interest to let us know what was going on and what was too sickening we eventually refused. No more. It is all about selling huge privatized corporate agendas. The corporate bottom line does not care about externalities as they call them such as our boys being slaughtered as long as it is profitable for them.

I worked for a true blue all his life dyed in the wool conservative who suddenly was handing out straw McGovern hats for al of us after his SECOND son was killed in Nam. It took that much for him but Walter Cronkite and Eric Severide and the real NEWS reporters accelerated his commitment because he realized that is how his sons died. I will never forget it.

The powers that be then said never again after they saw how the TV affected us with Kent State the Chicago convention beatings on display and the subsequent riots in our nation and the box in all our homes started becoming the deluxe most powerful piece of furniture to stare at whilst still expecting truth and the public interest to come our way. We are still in that trance. Well, folks, it ain't no more. . . We turned off the boob tube after the OJ trial and know many people including professionals that have too - that was the end and every time we see it at someone's house we feel like taking a shower. Little did we know how little we needed the "trance" and as we reflect it is so easy to see the conscious and deliberate dumbing down of Americans whose primary if not only source of information is the so-called news which now is really super market tabloid journalism promoting private interests. They turned the whole Edward Morrow social conscience approach of the TV being the good educational classroom on its head. Of course the net is heading in the same direction. . .just watch. The networks make more money the more the election is perceived as close a horse-race and that is the way it will probably stay for those advertising revenues.

Expose the MEDIA Michael - if you take on Roger Smith on the scale you were on then you can certainly do this. . .

On the other hand running up to Congress members demanding that they enlist their children in the military is Michael Moore at his best!

To Michael Moore: for all you do, **thank you**. What really bothers me about a lot of Republicans I (used to) know is that they consider themselves patriotic Americans, all the while supporting free speech for some, but not others, freedom of religion for some, but not others, a free press only if it supports their own opinions, etc. etc. These people are not Republicans, they are Monarchists! Excuse me, but didn't we fight that war 232 years ago? The Constitution is the fundamental document of this nation, it should be required reading at every level of school so that ignorance and the gullibility that results from ignorance could be diminished, instead of taking a front row seat in our politics year after year.

It is sad to think that with all the millions of people who are qualified to lead that it has come down to Mc Cain and Obama. I am fearful of both of their qualifications and rhetoric. I feel compelled to select Sen. Obama, but I would like to see in the debates what makes his choice the ONE. I viewed this video with 12 friends and the majority of us feel the same. Who the hell do we vote for? My choice is Obama. The war needs to end. Thank you Michael for such a thought provoking film.

I'm sick of being too depressed to turn on the news, I'm sick of not being able to say the presidents name because I am disgusted by what he has done, I'm sick of being embarrassed to be an American. Remind yourself of our nations history, That we fought for what we believed in most. We fought against things that in our eyes were unjust not just from a military standpoint but in peaceful protest and now in documentaries. I want to have pride in my country again. It is pathetic that we can be so lazy when it comes to something so important. It's time to live up to our title as AMERICAN CITIZENS. Vote for what is right.

I want to believe that we can be the America that i was taught about in school. I want to believe that we can sit and talk with our enemies like I was taught to do in church and from the bible. I want to believe in my fellow citizens, that they will see through the lies and the propaganda perpetrated by those who want to profit from the least of us. I want to believe our voices will be heard and our votes will be counted. I want to believe we all can have a home, medical, food and clean water. I want to believe that the democrats will actually be allowed to win and that when they are there in power, that they will do what is good for us, WE THE PEOPLE. I want to believe. Is it too much to ask?
WIth regards to this current administration and after viewing the debate on Friday with Senator McCain, I can honestly say,
I BELIEVE they are NOT what I want for me or my country.

Thank you very much.

My issue #1.... equality for All Americans! I'd like to see Michael Moore go into homes of everyday Americans that are gay and lesbian and show how important it is to have marriage equality for gays and lesbians. We have children, and some of us choose not to have children, and we do not have the same protections that married heterosexual families (with or without children) have.... and that's NOT RIGHT!
Gays and Lesbians serve and die for our country, some by way of military and some everyday, inside of our own country... nurses, doctors, firemen and firewomen, teachers, the list can go on... yet our government doesn't give us equal right's. That's NOT RIGHT!
True, there will always be people who will never give gay and lesbian relationships the respect that we deserve, but at least if we had equal right's then the laws can protect us.
By the way... McCain/Palin/majority Republicans do not support equal right's for gays and lesbians.... they do not count us as Americans. You know what I say, then they don't need/want or care about having my vote. So be it. I will not vote for McCain/Palin.... and I will never vote for people who won't at the very least ....stand in front of the nation and at least say, out of their mouth... that they support marriage equality and/or civil unions for gays and lesbians... with all of the same equal benefits that heterosexual couples have. You know words can be very powerful, remember that speech, "I Have a Dream"... at least say, show me that you are talking to and including me, as an American citizen who deserves equal right's.
Now... I'm talking to people who have equal right's. How would you like being treated unfairly and denied the right to spend time with your spouse in a health care facility, when they are dying or ill. How would you like it when you and your spouse have built a whole life together and have had children, bought a house, and loved each other for lets say, 45 years... and when your spouse died, everything was taken away from you and maybe even your own children too. How would it feel if the person you loved died suddenly and your name wasn't allowed to be on your spouses death certificate in the place where it says spouse. How would you feel if your love for another was disrespected by people and you had to wonder at times if it was safe enough to hold your loved ones hand, give a kiss, talk about them and your family. How would it feel if your spouse died and you didn't receive their social security. How would it feel if you wanted to marry the person you love and you weren't allowed to. How would it feel if you wanted to adopt a child and you were fully qualified, but you were denied. Ho would it feel if you wanted to have your spouse with you at family gatherings but your family rejected and didn't welcome your spouse. The list can go on.
Gays and Lesbians need to have equal right's and marriage equality... I know that when we have marriage equality, we will have more respect and only then, we will have laws to protect us and our children.

By the way... McCain/Palin/majority Republicans do not support equal right's for gays and lesbians.... they do not count us as Americans. You know what I say, then they don't need/want or care about having my vote. So be it. I will not vote for McCain/Palin.... and I will never vote for people who won't at the very least ....stand in front of the nation and at least say, out of their mouth... that they support marriage equality and/or civil unions for gays and lesbians... with all of the same equal benefits that heterosexual couples have. You know words can be very powerful, remember that speech, "I Have a Dream"... at least say, show me that you are talking to and including me, as an American citizen who deserves equal right's.
Now... I'm talking to people who have equal right's. How would you like being treated unfairly and denied the right to spend time with your spouse in a health care facility, when they are dying or ill. How would you like it when you and your spouse have built a whole life together and have had children, bought a house, and loved each other for lets say, 45 years... and when your spouse died, everything was taken away from you and maybe even your own children too. How would it feel if the person you loved died suddenly and your name wasn't allowed to be on your spouses death certificate in the place where it says spouse. How would you feel if your love for another was disrespected by people and you had to wonder at times if it was safe enough to hold your loved ones hand, give a kiss, talk about them and your family. How would it feel if your spouse died and you didn't receive their social security. How would it feel if you wanted to marry the person you love and you weren't allowed to. How would it feel if you wanted to adopt a child and you were fully qualified, but you were denied. Ho would it feel if you wanted to have your spouse with you at family gatherings but your family rejected and didn't welcome your spouse. The list can go on.
Gays and Lesbians need to have equal right's and marriage equality... I know that when we have marriage equality, we will have more respect and only then, we will have laws to protect us and our children.

I support neither Democrat or Republican Candidate.

I initially planned on voting for Congressman Ron Paul, but since he did not receive the Republican ticket I am voting Third Party. I will be voting for Constitutional Party candidate Chuck Baldwin in 2008. His views are close to mine in many areas.

I also advice many individuals living in North America to not vote for the lesser of two evils, there are 4 other candidates running. Cynthia McKinney of the Green Party, Bob Barr of Libertarian Party, Chuck Baldwin of Constitutional Party, and Ralf Nader of Independent Party.

For more information on the details of these candidates watch the Press Conference on YouTube.

Brilliant! I just love this man. I know Michael said there is "no crying in politics" but I cried remembering the heart break of 2004 and all the hard work we had put into that election. My heart won't let me believe that Republicans will continue to rule and this only reminded me that the way they will REALLY win is if we give up. SO PLEASE GO VOTE!!!

So Republicans ... remember like Michael Moore says ... "There's no crying in politics" ... very IMPORTANT .. you still will be able to marry to each of your "partners" jajaja

Our government has become the employee of war mongering corporations that love war for the profit it brings. This situation has to stop and the blood of our citizens spilled in unnecessary wars has to be vindicated. Who knows how many citizens of the world have been slaughtered in the name of "freedom" . It is time to weed out the war lovers and send them packing and to jail. Nuremberg trials with Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Pearl, Rice, etc, etc,,,in the box of the accused being tried for the murders they have committed, would be the vindication needed for our Nation. It is time for courage and it is time to shine light on these criminals.

As a Canadian, I can say we are extremely interested in (and have very strong opinions of) what happens in any presidential election as it affects us as well. We are sitting here having been made a mockery of by George Bush for everything in the last 100 years after our former Prime Minister refused to send our troups for full combat to Iraq (we have been in Afghanistan for as long, but most do not know that). Our current Prime Minister is Bushes bitch, even though he still tries to pound our industries as punishment for not sending troups in to FIGHT this part 2 of Vietnam. We genuinely love the American people and the country. I just wish that a Prisident would look at the poverty rates, lack of education and poor healthcare for the lower and middle class. Those that do have an education should be using any way possible to get outside media (internet newspapers from Canada, Europe, etc.) to see what is not frightenly tainted by the goverment-run media. I do NOT watch CNN, Fox, NBC, ABC, etc for news. Leave about what's going on before you think the Commander In Chief is a man who has a direct line to Christ. Thank you, Mr. Moore, for geeting out there and showing YOU will take the chance to tell the American People the truth.

This film, while not quite as good as Sicko, was still amazing, as well as how it was delivered. (Really, what better way to get a college kid's attention than to say "Hey, its really free, we won't sue you for downloading this")

I gladly laid down some money for a DVD copy of this film and am encouraging all my friends to take a few minutes and just watch it, it won't cost anything.

I don't expect Obama to be perfect, no one is, but I am confident that he and the democratic party can breath the life back into our country and will once again make us the greatest role model to nations everywhere.

Mansoor · 1 year ago

Michael! You've become my favorite documentary director! Although I think this video was pretty pointless, especially since it doesn't really support the Obama campaign. But still, keep up the good work. Can't wait to see what issue you bring up next and how you address it. I'll be anxiously waiting...

sadening · 1 year ago

Watching the movie now, " Slacker Uprising." And I can't help but to feel a deep sense of melancholy for the people in the video who protested Michael Moore's rallies back in '04. To listen to them speak so frankly about how they feel, it's sickening how blinded people are in this country. I just feel so fortunate that I was raised, and grew up in an environment where I was able to break out of the social norm.

I can only hope for Barack Obama to win this upcoming election. Because so withered is our memory that many forget McCain said publicly not to long ago that he knew nothing about our economy. And now look were we stand. On the fringe of a meltdown, that I'm letting the government borrow $2,400 from my pocket, and your pocket as well.

If we as American's don't get it right this time, than I fear all is lost.

shepherdess · 1 year ago

I am in the uk and am increasingly sickened by our government. We are getting by with all the unfair rules and laws set by our government which, continue to use control to gain revenue by fining people left right and centre, continue to enforce fluoridation upon us even though it is in breach of european laws, who manage to get massive backhanders when they get sacked...even tony blair has refused to comply to the 'freedom information act!!"
People here are watching their homes and businesses get sucked away while not realising our biggest company, which the puclic own : the government, are strangling the life out of us.
I am concerned about the information suggested regarding debtors camps and fema coffins in the usa (confined spaces and disease (population control?) go hand in hand). They could be legit but since when have the best paid people, the only ones with job and home security at this point in time, ever been legit?
Our government sets out how much people need to live on for our benefits system....well if thats all we need to live on, why are they getting paid £60K a year +£100K in expenses.
How come a fitted kitchen isnt permitted as an expense for tax purposes for the average joe...yet an MP can be allowed £10K for a fitted kitchen as an expense paid for by us??
Im furious, disgusted and a little afraid.
I am a 32 year old mother of two and I can see the cracks. That leaves 2 questions, either they are too stupid to do the job, so they shouldn't have it....or they know what they are doing and are too corrupt to do the job, so they still shouldnt have it!

Elissa · 1 year ago

When I watched Obama speak for the first time I was amazed. Not because of Obama himself, but for the love of the people who stood there and listened. Since then, I've spread my hopes and dreams to all my peers for a better America. I love this country and the freedom but I dislike how politics are controlled by people who are quite simply "out of the loop". Most of the adults in the White House lived their younger years without computers and had to rely on the media to tell them of the world. This is the Age of Technology where people can share their views with one another without restraint of how far they live from each other. Since that first time I listened to Obama, I've also contributed my own hard working cash for his campaign, a campaign run by people like me who hope for Peace, Love, and Prosperity. I've created events on facebook to get my fellows to participate though some have failed, this fact does not sway me in the least bit. I won't be in my state when election day comes but my ballot will damn sure be in because your vote does count!

For one, I will study to pass my first session at University. Throughout all this, I'll help others and try to well represent the first year students of my year as a first year rep. I will talk about ''Slacker Uprising'' from time to time with fellow students. I haven't really been motivated enough to jump the boarder and cry out to everyone to not vote Republican, but I can assure you all that I never really thought that side to be very positive. For instance, the conservatives here in Canada make me think of Republicans in a way, seeming to follow Bush and all in all his decisions if I remember well. So I'll probably be on the lookout to vote this October in my country. So, people of United States, good luck with everything and may the end of 2008 get a good kick start for all of you ;)

Lambert Lorette · 1 year ago

Loved the film, Michael thanks so much for doing the work you did for all of us, taking the stand, having the courage. Right now I'm concerned about computer election frauds in Ohio and other mischief in Florida.....
As far as what I'm doing, not much, because I'm sans funds and I live in California, where the vote for Obama is in the bag as far as I know.

It occurs to me finally, that all of the people in blue states that aren't doing anything would probably like to
help get out the young vote in red states, where they can't go...If there was a pool that was available for people
working in red states, I think alot of us would like to support/give money to that pool so people there could have more effect.

We can't expect you to be running around every election, so perhaps we could form 2 or 3 mobile groups
who were set up to travel and work red states to get out the student/young vote, who could move to where the
crucial areas were and work, quickly, pretty much the way you did in '04.

In other words, I'm suggesting that what you did in the movie actually needs to be done every four years, because democrats and students will tend to be slackers whatever when it comes time to vote. I would certainly like to have this conversation with you, but I can never reach you...Thanks again so much, for the generous gift and the gutsy film.

-For instance, right now (Sept 30th) if we knew which congressional seats were closest and had a chance to
win, and we had a mobile unit or three, we could send them there and fund them, on a week by week and at
the end, on a daily basis, to get out the vote...(or even work that way with the presidential race). Cheers, best wishes, Lambert --come to think of it, if you think this is an effective approach, I'm willing to do whatever, travel,
approach residents, speak up for the cause of voting and in this case, Obama.

Brilliant film Michael- I am volunteering every day that I am not working my "day job" for Obama. I have volunteered at the library to register new voters and also am canvassing neighborhoods door to door to get the message out so that Obama wins. We cannot have four more years of the same and even worse with Palin in the mix. It is so important to tell everyone you come in contact with to get out and vote, to bring the troops home and to save our country.
Thank you once again Michael for getting the word out. You are the man!

I thought it was a great film, and I love Michael Moore's movies.
However, I always get put off when democrats like Roseanne go about putting down people that have religious convictions. This is one of the reasons that so many religious people feel like that just do not want to be part of a group that is against their religion.

I hope everyone knows that everyone, all of us, are needed. We need a landslide, and then the Republicans and their devious tactics won't stand a chance.

CA Allys · 1 year ago

Michael,
After a few moments into the film, I burst into tears as the memories of the last two elections came back to me. All of the effort and action, still to have two elections stolen away from the American public.

Today, we are in an even more serious situation as this election looms ahead. We as a people can no longer pretend that every thing will take care of its self, health care, education, energy, jobs and the environment needs a champion. These are the very same issues that have faced us since the 60's and we are no further ahead. The strides and advances from over the years are outstripped by the greed of the few and the unconscious.
We have got to change, We MUST be that champion for change. This will be a historic election not because a black man might be president or a woman might be vice-president, it will be historic because of the way we as Americans face the challenges ahead of us.
My slacker friends and family have already received my e-mail regarding registering to vote for the November election, e-mail regarding your film have gone out to my address book and the Dem's can use a gift of my time.

Kevin T. Hurlbut · 1 year ago

Wonderful film! As always, enjoyable, entertaining, passionate, and inspiring. Yes, unfortunately our side lost in 2004, but I have great confidence it will be quite different this time. In the classic film "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington," Jimmy Stewart's character Mr. Smith reminds the corrupt Senator Paine (Claude Rains) about the importance of fighting for the lost causes, "and yes, you even die for them." In the same way we should never give up fighting for what we believe in, no matter what the odds. And now finally, if the latest polls hold true (as of Oct. 1), we will have very good reason to celebrate November 5! Of course we must remember that the only poll that really counts is the one held on Election Day, so let's make sure we all get out and vote and get like-minded people to vote!! (And of course, vote correctly!) Obama/Biden '08!!

Ryan W · 1 year ago

Hey Michael,

I want to illustrate the key difference between my generation and the generations of my parents, or even older siblings when it comes to voting this election.


I graduated from Highschool in 2003. I started to really pay attention after 9/11. Not due to 9/11, but simply the fact that I was maturing and became more and more interested in my country and its' direction.

However, it was not until I started going to college that I was really challenged to think.

(Side note: Apparently high school and public education didn't pull that off, challenge us to think… If only we had a great entity to look out for the future generations, by preparing them with knowledge and critical thinking skills, but I digress...)

I really started to pay attention in 2003-2004. I was 18 when I started college. I am now 23 and have since graduated from college. I will be 24 just before election day.


Now think about this, I stated that I started to "awake" to politics in 2001, and really made an effort to be informed in 2003-04. As a consequence, the only government I have known is the Bush Administration.

My entire life has seen ONLY Bush’s policies: ie Economics, Military, Healthcare, and lets not even get into national debt or educational policies… your generation, those prior to Gen Y have seen the “Brighter days” in politics or in the country.

We have not.

They say that the republicans have an issue with their brand. When 90% of my generation thinks that the “social contract” is broken, or the fact that half of us do not have health insurance, [see links for source references], I’d say the republican brand is “utterly fucking destroyed.”

This election is more than just about an administration change, its about seeing that things can be good. Not when will they be good, it is showing our generation that it is actually possible.

Ryan

PS – I did not proof read this, I Am sure there are plenty of errors but I just do not care at the moment.

I loved seeing the film. Inspirational, authentic, compassionate, and brilliant. I really appreciated that Michael also invited high-profile guests to broaden the message, share in community, and give the audiences an extra delight. Very cool!

Luddy · 1 year ago

Michael, you are amazing!!! I wish there were more people like you, especially where I live. I live in a neighborhood where everyone is for McCain and I just don't seem to understand why. Did they like the way it has been for the last 8 years? Do they really want another Bush? Their excuse is that Obama is unexperienced, but guess who his vice president is!!!!
Anyway, we need a Democratic president who is focused on stopping the war to bring our troops back, improve our economy, help college students go to college and more. I believe that Obama will try to do that. All McCain is interested in is "Fixing Russia". Yeah McCain, start another mess with the biggest country in the world, real smart. Haven't we had enough? If this doesn't stop soon, the whole world will hate America and this will make it harder for Americans to travel overseas.
I grew up in America and born in Russia. It took me and my parents 15 years to get our citizenship and the right to vote. We can't wait till November 2nd. We moved to this country during the ca-lapse of the Soviet Union for a better life. Me and my parents are gonna vote to help keep this country a great place to live.
Because of today's troubled economy, me and many others are unemployed. I'm a violin teacher who now only has a third amount of violin students than 6 years ago, because families can no longer pay for their children's education. Private schools have shrank. College tuitions have almost doubled in a year. Banks going bankrupt. And I am one of the many victims that suffer from gas stations closing down. That used to be my job that paid my bills and food, now I'm unemployed and rely on food pantry because the gas station I worked at could no longer afford gas deliveries.
Alright, I can go on forever, but I felt the need to express this because I believe that many people out there are in the same position, and I feel your pain,

Love this film and Michael Moore's effort. Thank you very much for making this easily accessible.

Where's Rosanne in 2008? We need her to speak out again--please tell Palin that since she despises Washington and the East Coast, we don't want her here. She can stay in Alaska. We don't need her or McCain. More than ever we need Obama and Biden. I hope the country learned from the last election and the four years since . . . be smart, be sane, vote for a change and for intelligent, steady, leadership. I hope the youth vote will answer the call as it did in 2004 and this time their parents will follow their lead.

I'm in DC and pushing those in Virginia to go Blue.

Between now and November 4th, I will be talking up Obama and Biden.

danielveinti · 1 year ago

People...before ever spewing an ignorant opinion about Michael Moore, please watch his movies, or at least one of them....I was a young College slacker on 04' I must admit that I tried to make it to the rally on Tampa Bay, but my organization skills where poor. But..I guess my lame excuse is: I was not a US Resident, at the time. Anyhow, this movie rocks!!!!
And from an outside perspective, this film gives me hope. It makes me feel that the majority of the new generation of Americans do not treat politics the same way they treat football. (Just wearing that republic jersey forever) Because we have to learn that politics relates to modern; or even post-modern history, and the damage that the neo-cons have done to the entire world, with their good-old-way-to-make-a-buck...it's unforgivable (wal-mart, gasoline, McDonalds 4 all, and of course the Empire strikes first).
People please, when It comes to politics..you need to research. Do not believe what the corporate tube, or the corporate radio tells you. Go to McCain's website, go to Obama's website, and see who has a clear and drawn out plan for the issues. And if you can't recognize the issues....It's provably because one of the cancers of our society it's to keep education on the back burner....and Knowledge people, knowledge its the only hope our slaker generation has...

What I'm trying to say is that I love this film.
Because it reminds me of friends that were out on the street, knocking on doors.... and believing in change.

But, at the same time it just depresses me that we are in a similar situation right now, or even in a worse situation. It reminds me of the 60s, not that I was alive or anything. My father was 7 years old. But I need to say from the bottom of my heart. OBAMA reminds me of a young United States Senator from Massachusetts, who later became one of the only modern Presidents who cared about social injustice, and who actually try to make a change on Domestic policy and the Civil Rights. Sen. Barack Obama reminds me of John F. Kennedy!!!!!

may peace prevail on earth, and religious extremism be kept away from power! that is our goal slakers friends!

It is true the media is biased. Are reporters abandoning their code of ethics? Is it the studio heads who are deciding what gets to the cutting room floor? I think it is critical that we all take the time to research, and find out for yourself what are the issues of the candidates? What are their backgrounds? And make your own choice of who you feel strongly about - AND VOTE. That's what I'm gonna do, and I'll do my best to make an informed decision.

I think it is great that Michael Moore is standing up for what he believes in. Too many people in this country choose to be silent and it has caused a lot of damage. Just think about how it would be today if people never spoke out about slavery? Or how about if people kept quite about the catholic church? Think about it. It does make sense.

what a moving film. 2004 was devastating for me and seeing parts of this brought back that feeling i had driving back to cali from nevada where i worked to get out the vote. but more importantly this film reminds me that we can not give up. this is our country, we need to do all we can to take it back. i had the privilege of working with a group of very dedicated artist on a project aimed at raising awareness to the problems with our registration/election process, as well as getting out the vote. please take a minute to visit www.wakeupandsaveourcountry.com. there is an animated film about what happened in ohio, as well as a free voter info guide. link to it, print it, email it to everyone you know, just get it out there. we can not let them steal our votes any more! it only takes a small amount of time to watch and read the guide, become outraged and forward it to everyone you know! this is just the first thing i am doing to raise awareness, please help by telling people to register to vote and check their registration!!!

I just finished watching the film, and it reminded me of the passion we had in 1968. I hope we, as Americans, have the same fervor for Obama, and that all young and new voters, I mean EVERY SINGLE ONE, exercise their right to vote on Nov. 4th. We are in danger of losing our country forever to the corporatocracy of Bush/McCain and the idiocracy of Palin. Please volunteer door-to-door, drive your neighbors to the polls, make sure that everyone you know gets to the polling booth on November 4th. If we're lucky, we'll overwhelm the Republicans with so many votes that they simply won't be able to steal this election like they did the last two. Thank you Michael Moore - you're a true patriot.

Once again Michael Moore inspires us toward unity, when I first saw him on a T.V. interview for his book "Stupid White Men " Book , I knew at that moment he was going to do great things to unite the People of American , he became my first Hero, and he has never let me down , his heart is true, he speaks the truth , he leads with truth and humility and courage, which are the marks of all great heros, I love my fellow citizens and seeing this film only inspired me to love all of you even more and to do everything I personally can to help keep us unified and fighting for each other , our country, our truths , our childrens future , our parents , our elders , our soldiers. Thank you Michael Moore , distinguished Guest , producers, crew and each citizen who participated. I love and thank you all humbly and gratefully with all my heart. God Bless You all .

Michael, thank you for inspiring so many slackers to vote in 2004. I only hope that your message can still be heard strong in 2008 so that this young generation can once again show up in record breaking numbers to bring Obama to the whitehouse. But more importantly, let's hope that their parents have enough sense to do the right thing this time around.

what a moving film. 2004 was devastating for me and seeing parts of this brought back that feeling i had driving back to cali from nevada where i worked to get out the vote. but more importantly this film reminds me that we can not give up. this is our country, we need to do all we can to take it back. i had the privilege of working with a group of very dedicated artist on a project aimed at raising awareness to the problems with our registration/election process, as well as getting out the vote. please take a minute to visit www.wakeupandsaveourcountry.com. there is an animated film about what happened in ohio, as well as a free voter info guide. link to it, print it, email it to everyone you know, just get it out there. we can not let them steal our votes any more! it only takes a small amount of time to watch and read the guide, become outraged and forward it to everyone you know! this is just the first thing i am doing to raise awareness, please help by telling people to register to vote and check their registration!!!

I've viewed this film...and I can't believe the American people can even remotely think that George W Bush is what is best for America. He wasn't 4 years ago and he isn't now. It's time Middle Class Americans stand up and say "Enough is enough". Want to bailout someone...take that 700 Billion dollars and bailout the people that pay the bulk of taxes, work everyday, buy the products, the houses, the cars and give to the charities when our government won't. Bring home our soldiers! Stop believing the lies of our administration.

As a young woman I went against my Republican parents and protested against the Viet Nam War. I was in Washington DC in November 1969 at the Washington Monument. The march to the monument was peaceful but the army was on every corner and for the first time in my life I saw machine gun turrets on the roof of the white house! We were tear gassed as we peacefully left the rally.

I watched this movie with chills, and tears that I had become complacent. Yes I voted in every election but where was my anti war protestor? She had become a baby boomer and was no longer an activist! Well I cannot live with the tears cried from my soul against the atrocities laid upon the American people unknowingly. Actually its not unknowingly. This administration wants to continue to feed us TV and sports and news favorable to them in order to dumb the American people down.

Now the politicians are begging the government to TAKE OVER the US BANKING SYSTEMS. Its time to stop!! Now!! Did not anyone understand John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and the rest of the founding fathers. They were not asking for the people to be taken care of. They were asking for the right for the people to take care of themselves.

I will sit still no longer!

I have seen every Michael Moore film and I say Hat's Off to Him!

It's wonderful working along side young people in this election which is so critical to our country and the future of our children and grandchildren. We absolutely need to take our country in a new direction. Elect Barack OBama and Joe Biden and restore hope in America. Thank you Michael Moore.

I am a mother, living in Texas, now a school teacher, who served in the United States Navy from 1990 to 1996. I have a Master's Degree in Science, and have practiced Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine before turning to educating our young minds as a teacher, and taking a huge pay-cut to do a far more important job.

I have fought many battles throughout my life, personal, physical, religious, and political. I consider myself a strong independent woman with a wonderful husband who is supportive of everything I do. I have seen most of Michael Moore's films, and I especially take to heart the message from the Slacker Uprising film I have just seen.

Living in Texas, surrounded by struggling families with children afflicted with disease, parents out of work, house foreclosures all around us, and surviving Hurricane Ike, I am so concerned about the attitudes of the general public. I know that there are concerned citizens in Houston, like myself, who will be working to get people to the polls this November 2008. But, I look around me, even in my neighborhood, at the families I mentioned, who are STILL staunch supporters of the Republican party, after all that has happened, even after financial bomb that was just dropped, and I just do not understand. Many of my teacher friends have said, that if McCain is voted in office, we are all caravan-ing to Canada.

How can this ignorance be so pervasive? I feel like I am in the twilight zone with uneducated people all around me. They voted for Bush in 2000 and 2004, and plan to vote for McCain in the next few weeks. One family I am close to has two children with diabetes, who can barely afford the insulin shots, even with insurance. Not only are they republican, but their father posts quite inflammatory messages on Facebook and MySpace about democrats. Many families, like ours, who have both parents working to make ends meet, talk about their right wing beliefs so much that I have overheard their children talking about how much they love Palin and McCain. These are first and second graders! Parents who are not satisfied with the schools in our area and who pay to send there children to private schools, which aren't much better than the public ones are plastering their cars with Republican bumper stickers. And these people, so afflicted by the regime they voted for, continue to make the same mistakes and keep voting based on religious affiliation, morals, etc.

Watching this film validated my feelings, and let me know that there are many out there like myself who want a different nation. How can we bridge the gap? How can we put aside our democrat or republican affiliations so that we can do what is right as human beings, for our children, and for our planet? How anyone makes a decision politically without these basic things in mind, I just will not understand.

While I am happy to see there are others who want change, I feel so sad that it has not happened yet. I feel so sad that so much time has gone by and so much has passed at the hands of people who do not care about others. So many have died, so many are bankrupt, so many have lost their homes.

I just need to make this comment here on this forum, because I do not have many friends that can comprehend where I am coming from. My husband is in Indiana for this week, at the bedside of his dying father, who has mesothelioma, a lung cancer caused by exposure to asbestos. My 6 year old son is borderline Autistic with some Asperger's traits, we think stemming from vaccines he received at age 4. We are a family that is completely uninsured, because we are small business owners and cannot afford insurance. I had insurance as a teacher, but have not returned this year to take time off to get pregnant.

I am very concerned about the world we live in and the world we are leaving to our children. I am very concerned about the fundamentalist attitudes that I encounter on a daily basis of people who judge and hate and belittle and then claim to be good Christians. Their religious fundamentalism blinds them to the truth, and I shutter to think what will happen if we do not have something different from our elected officials in the next four years.

What can I do? How can I make a difference? I volunteer, I work for the voting areas, I talk to my friends with love and understanding, when they cannot return the same. I want rights for gay and lesbians, I want better education for our children, I want socialized medicine, I want equality for all men and women in our country. I want people to be able to make whatever choice they need to be happy and fulfilled in this life, as long as it does not infringe on the rights of someone else. I am not a lesbian, but I have no problem with them marrying and having all the rights that any other loving heterosexual couple would have. I would not choose to have an abortion, but I would NEVER presume to make that choice for someone else. There should always be a choice. I want true religious freedoms for groups who might not be mainstream. Again, as long as they are not harming others and following basic human rights.

It is hard for me to understand how other people can be so self-righteous that they put themselves over other groups of people, and then presume to know what is best for them. How did that happen?

I know there is no easy answer, and nothing is quite so black and white in regarding religion, morals, and politics. But, what happened to the ideals of the superheroes? What happened to people sacrificing to do what is right, and maybe not what is popular? What happened to our neighborhoods? What has happened to us?

I daily set the example for my friends and family, and as a school teacher, taught tolerance, and love for everyone. The pendulum has to swing back. My plea and my prayer is that America takes back it's country. We do the right thing. We believe in the goodness of each other and work together to fix the problems that others have created.

I pledge to make sure that everyone I know, and everyone who lives near us will get out to the polls and vote. I will continue to be a good example of a moral person with love and caring and understanding for all. I will represent myself at all times as a person of high character and one who others will emulate. I pray that we will all do the same and allow the universe to help us take back our nation.

I READ SO MANY OF YOUR COMMENTS.

This is exactly why Plato said that regular people shouldn't vote.

It's sad that I like my country and hate the people in it today. Especially when it's we the people. But all of you assholes are one sales pitch or the other.

WHAT A LITTLE BIT OF REsearch or HISTORY CLASS COULD DO FOR YOU ALL.

A. Jesus wasn't a political man. There's a reason for that.

B. Christianity didn't start wars. The govenments told people to, and they did. As did anti-religious China and USSR, as does Bush or Muslim Nations. In fact, religion is the only thing that brought us free thought for centuries.

C. America is a Democracy based on a Federal supported Republic. not one or the other. In fact the FEderal didnt have any money to control us, or do much of anything until they started income taxes (IRS). Thanks, Hubert Bush.

D. Michael MOORE ISN'T A PROPAGANDIST because he wants you to vote for one party. He originally fought for Nader against Gore. He seems to have a strange need to do what's best for us in the long run.

LAST. Socialism is not state run programs. If it is, we are a socialist Nation because the state runs a lot of things. WE THE PEOPLE CAN GET TOGETHER AND DEMAND FAIR WAGES AND PRICES AGAINST ANTI-CAPITALIST ANTI-HUMANIST AND ANTI-FREEMARKET CORPERATIONS.

DON'T YOU GET IT?'

screw all of you.

And screw Social conservatives who were started by rich Southern plantation owners to prevent poor farmers and blacks from getting government money to get educated or even run for office. They didnt even pay the taxes the try to cut because the Northern (liberals) had all the money. REad you history. DEath to the Confederates!

Dear Michael,

I loved "Slacker Uprising" and I want to thank you for not only making this great movie but also sharing it for free. I have paid for many of your movies and books and I appreciate (in these times) to be getting this for free. I live in Los Angeles but I am writing to you from Cincinnati Ohio. I went to camp Obama in san Diego for training and vowed to give 5 weeks in a swing state to help elect Obama. I am in my 3rd week in Cincinnati and have been knocking on doors, registering voters and basically writing and talking to everyone I know to get out and vote. I will be in Nevada next weekend to do the same. I applaude you and your efforts to get those slackers off the couch and into the voting polls :) I also want to thank you , because of your efforts in the last election-it will have a huge effect on this election especially as you have released this movie for all to witness. You are a true American hero!

Go Obama/Biden!!!!!

Respectfully,
Donna DeCoster

I watched this film online since it isn't available in the ITunes Canada store. I enjoyed the film up to when Rosanne got on there, was she trying to be funny. I don't think George W is a stupid man, but the people in the U.S who voted for the guy for 2 terms must be.

I am a Canadian and in the military. I am not a fan of George W Bush or his policies, but you have to be really naive if you think by voting for Obama is going to bring the troops home from Iraq you are Naive! Even if they do bring the troops out of Iraq they will head over to Afghanistan.

We have our election here in Canada this month. I already voted and proud to say I never voted for the Liberal government. Why does it take a country over a year to elect a President, when we here in Canada can have an election in about 30 days after it is called?

Don MacKinnon · 1 year ago

As a Canadian who could not understand how George Bush won in 2000, and then who amazingly won again in 2004, I concluded that American voters were either insane, or they had been cheated by a crazy electoral system. Slacker Uprising told a story I did not see on the news, and it gives me hope that in November, 2008, the Republicans will finally be ousted from the White House.
The movie also made me sad to realize that there are people in the United States, who really do want to crush free speech and who are afraid of dissent. How that must make America's founders turn over in their graves.
Americans must somehow take back their country from the Republican conservative special interest groups and show the rest of the world many American qualities that were evident in Michael Moore's film. Americans, please educate yourselves so that you do not sound as backward and as ignorant as some of the Republican supporters who were interviewed in Mr. Moore's film. I could not believe that one Republican woman was going to vote for Bush because he prays to God so she was going to vote for God(?)
Good luck getting the vote out on November 4th.

Jimmie Hutchison · 1 year ago

Thank you Michael for the film. I enjoyed the film as I do all your movies. I vote for whom I feel is right and this year I support Senator Obama. I hope this year we finally take a step in the right direction, to pass a health care plan that includes every American. I hope this year we take the necessary and responsible steps to bring our troops home.

I am proud to support the democratic party this election. I ask for help to get our country moving forward. Please vote this election.

WE ARE REVOLUTION · 1 year ago

I think I may be at the voting place holding a

VOTE THE BAILOUT OUT sign.

We will be passing out a list for local voters to see how their local people voted either for or against the bailout in direct contradiction to the peoples wishes.

It is also important for people to understand the Federal Reserve and the way money is created so we will probably be passing out Money as Debt movies that you can see on google or Zeitgeist about the Federal Reserve.

The movie was alreight even though it did not address any real issues besides voting which is kind of important but really WHO COUNTS THE VOTES IS MORE IMPORTANT. If you look into diebold and the scams surrounding our voting machines you will be shocked.

the only criticism, or rather disappointment for this film is that, as close as we are to the election day, Moore did NOT emphasized the fact that Bush still WON. all the effort made by Moore & the company + millions failed to remove that fucker out of there. why? if I remember correctly, while it was the record turnout for young voters, it was not enough to beat the church-goers that did not dig on abortion and gay marriages. sad but true.

my point is that WE CANNOT LET THEM STEAL IT AGAIN. SERIOUSLY. you watch Tina Fey making fun of Palin and think this time it'll be easy cos they're so fucking dumb, but I thought that in '04 and that maggot still sits in the white house banging Condi. I might come off too harsh but I feel desperate and frustrated because I CANNOT VOTE, and don't think I can stand watching another election and people's hope taken away. c'mon people, you are born with the rights that many people would kill to have - it's time for you to act.

Up here in the North, Harper is much the same, just more polite about it, like when he hide the military budget right before the election which is TODAY! When he was asked about it with gotcha politics, his answer was like " I know its a lot of money, but its for a good cause eh. That quote was an est. From what i see, TARNISHING CANADAS NAME WITH A WAR WE SHOULDN'T BE IN. We have common problems. SO...

IF we can belive E = MCsq, In modern times, i have translated it into, Enron = MCbush, now if we can belive bush represents the leader in the white house, and now you put a dollar figure on it, well lets make one up out of thing air, how about $700 billion, and now TIMES that with TAX INCENTIVES. But wait were not finished yet.
So now we got E = ($700 Billion x TAX INCENTIVES), (TAX INSENTIVES = INFINITE) (INFINITE = FOREVER + NASCAR + A BUNCH OF OTHER CRAP) . When are we going to get the real answers from our Leaders???How close am I or should I not OVER THINK?

I am wondering when Michael Moore and the American people are going to get it that we no longer have a legitimate democratic process. The last two elections were obviously stolen. I think the focus should be more on preventing voting fraud than on getting people to vote. No matter how many people register to vote, if there are modems in the voting machines that they can change at any time and laws being passed to eiiminate large numbers of voters, it won't help much.

Since January 3rd 2008 I am a Barack Obama’s follower. I have been active, donated money, yard sign (against my neighborhood rules), bumper sticker, 5 Obama T-shirts, the whole nine yards.
I watched the Slacker Uprising movie today, the day of the last debate, and now I am F scared. Michael did a huge effort and it looked like Kerry was going to win ( like now with Barack ).
I will do all It takes from now to November 4th because I told mi kids I will not stay in this wonderful country to be a witness 4 more years of the same lying manipulating bull crap.

shadleyboy · 1 year ago

I just read recently in a Boston tabloid that a fine young Republican asked Obama if 'he felt the least bit guilty about putting the burden of taxes upon just 5% of the wealthiest of American taxpayers.' This young Republican sincerely believed, as does John McCain, that it is unfair to put tax increases on the wealthy. Mind you, these wealthy people are making more income in a day, than the average middle class American could make in a lifetime. Yet, McCain and his running mate believe that it would be grossly unfair to pass on tax increases to the wealthy, but it would be much better to take the hatchet to government programs, such as medicare and programs for the elderly, veterans programs, and college financial aid programs for the needy, etc. Why don't they just get rid of social security, too, while they're at it? It would certainly be unfair to raise the FICA tax ceiling from the current $40,000 to whatever to increase revenue for social security.
GREAT WORK MICHAEL MOORE! I hope we get more young people involved in this election process, end the war in Iraq, and most of all, finally put an end to this Republican regime that's been raping the average middle and low income family.

I am A Human Bieng. As such i believe in being treated as one and treating the rest of my fellow poeple as human biengs. We have to have a paricipatory democracy with participatory journalists. We the people have to make the laws. I will reluctantly vote for Obama this fall...but I wonder what one man can really do for the people. Looking at Bush's presidency it seems like a lot. However, I believe we have to stop scapegoating and eating this bullshit fed to us by the 4th wing of the gov't, the media. We look back at the McCarthy trials and laugh. Well, Look at the war on Terror, The War on Drugs, Immigration. These are all Policies. Policies made by Who. NOT me. These laws made by the elites are ways to instill fear and illogical reasoning for these "problems" and "solutions" to them. We have to Questions these ideas and actions, we have to report these issues. We have to make the laws in this great nation. The media, the governtment, the elite have all failed us. We cannot trust our elected officials to represnt us because they don't. They would step over me for that dollar on the street and the would probably kill me for the power and prestiege they so desperately care for. Our nation is in crisis and it's not all the worthless representatives that screwed up we did I did. The policies are only reformed when the people speak up and get out. Change only comes when the people decide they have had enough. Can we have a revival in morals and ethics in our country? I admit I have much cynicism for politics yet much hope for the future.. I Will VOTE But I Would Rather REVOLT.. Who the hell is with me?? Great movie MIke it really was heart-felt. Question... You must be on the

I understand, politics is dirty, but they should be ASHAMED to have such a dirty and smutty campaign filled and fueled by hate. I DO HOPE we can have REAL CHANGE this time around.

The disappointment I felt after the 2004 election cannot be quantified. I find comfort in the fact that very soon, I will no longer have to put up with at least this fascist regime. Disenfranchisement and worse, vote theft, are occurring during this election cycle in a sad attempt by a minority of obviously scared republicans who want to control this country for another presidential term. What can concerned citizens do when they hear that thousands of voters will not have the ability to express themselves in this election? Watching this movie gives me the enthusiasm to do something about this travesty. How can we organize and ensure that everyone's vote gets counted and therefore every person is accountable in this election. If Sara Palin becomes my President out of some cruel twist of fate, I will be holding those who placed her in the House of Hades accountable.

God Bless You, Michael Moore.
I TRULY admire you, I really do. But I myself, though I am a pretty assertive guy, would shrink at the caustic & corruptive venom that the 2-legged snakes of our human society are CONSTANTLY spitting at you. Hang in there.... We of the Clear Minded are with you. You're fighting valiantly in the interests of clear thinking & the love of 'Truth As It Is,' with genuine love being your reference point for what you perceive & for what you produce. And you do it all on an international "stage." You truly are a brave man. By virtue of your bravery you have and are, as I am sure you are aware, putting your life on the line. NO ONE could ask for more from anyone now on this earth, these days.

Thank you for the inspiration and for being an example of courage.
Thank you for your willingness to fight. Now, to many people, you are a very public example of open, audacious bravery that is right in the faces of those virtually "hooded," virtually invisible & secretive self-righteous, greedy "elitist" tyrants in our societies that are working towards their ideal human being to be a non-critical-thinking, vacuous, virtually non-entity "beast" that has as its essential characteristic only 1 thing, which this beast does well & without question & without thinking: Consume, in a benignly avarice way. Misery loves company, you know. These world-class beasts need peon beasts so as to not feel so convicted of wrongdoing. Perverse groupthink LOVES wrongdoing & mean-spiritedness.

May God's Love be with you, blessing you with courage, & likewise with all of us around the world who are so like-minded yet timid in our actions that would otherwise match our thoughts & our talk that are born out of a basic bravery of perception that we may occassionally venture into ourselves.
Let's open The Book, read up on The Truth of the maliciousnesses that have been done, & by whom, because The Truth about the secretive 2-legged snakes is beginning to be revealed & is now hittin' the fans....
The quaking thunder is rolling above the turbulent underbelly of dark clouds containing cleansing rains in what appears to be the darkening time of societal dusk..........
Fight's on......
Let's get our armor of God put on, get out in the rain, and....
LET'S ROLL !!!
Because this is the bottom line, the way it is going to either fortunately, or unfortunately, be:
Only 1 group of people is going to be left standing.

It's a week before the 2008 election. Oregon State votes by mail & everyone in our household has already voted. We all hand delivered our ballots, not because the measure laden ballot is longer & heavier & requires .59 cents for postage, but because we wanted to make sure nothing happened to it along the way. The local news reported 65% of the ballots received are being hand delivered to the drop boxes dedicated to the ballots. Maybe they too don't want the postal service middle man to screw up their vote. This film stokes the fire to remember it is We the People who run this country, and we have to deliver such a major landslide victory so as to offset any tampering of the election. We need a "Barack" Solid landslide.
I don;t think Obama is the messiah, indeed we will need to make sure he is delivering on those campaign promises. Shut down Guananamo, get health care funded, and get out of the war business. Thanks for sharing!

Here's the thing I'm afraid of.... a repeat of the 2000 stealing of the presidency. Doesn't McCain look a little too cocky ala Bush? He doesn't seem to care what he says or how he behaves or who he chooses to run with him. It's like he knows it's already a done deal so why not have a pretty bimbo to look at while playing President? I'm tellin' ya, if McCain's camp succeeds, there will be not only a third world war but a civil one. I know it in my heart. And if Obama manages to get in there, due to a landslide voter turnout, will he be assassinated? If so I'd rather he not "win". These are dark days for our country. But all transformations start with a death of sorts. Let's hope this really is the beginning of our rebirth.

Let's be honest:

What if the Obamas had paraded five children across the stage,
following the debate, including a three month-old infant and an unwed,
pregnant teenage daughter?

What if Obama was unable to explain the duties of the office of vice-president?

What if John McCain was a former president of the Harvard Law Review?

What if Barack Obama finished fifth from the bottom of his college graduating class?

What if McCain had only married once, and Obama was a divorcee?

What if Obama had met his second wife in a bar and had a long affair while he was still married?

What if Michelle Obama was the wife who not only became addicted to pain
killers but also acquired them illegally through her charitable
organization?

What if Cindy McCain graduated from Harvard?

What if Obama had been a member of the Keating Five?
(The Keating Five were five United States Senators accused of corruption in
1989, igniting a major political scandal as part of the larger Savings
and Loan crisis of the late 1980s and early 1990s.)

What if Obama couldn't read from a teleprompter?

What if Obama was the one who had military experience that included discipline problems and a record of crashing seven planes?

What if Obama was the one who was known to publicly display a serious anger management problem?

What if Michelle Obama's family had made their money from beer distribution?

You could easily add to this list. If these questions reflected a reality,
if the tables were turned, do you really believe the election numbers
would be as close as they are?

This is what racism does. It covers up, rationalizes and minimizes qualities in one candidate and
emphasizes negative characteristics in another when there is a color difference.

And, think of this - the candidates' educational backgrounds:

Barack Obama:
Columbia University - B.A. Political Science with a Specialization in
International Relations. Harvard - Juris Doctor (J.D.) Magna Cum Laude

Joseph Biden:
University of Delaware - B.A. in History and B.A. in Political Science. Syracuse
University College of Law - Juris Doctor (J.D.)

John McCain:
United States Naval Academy - Class rank: 894 of 899

Sarah Palin:
Hawaii Pacific University - 1 semester
North Idaho College - 2 semesters - general study
University of Idaho - 2 semesters - journalism
Matanuska-Susitna College - 1 semester
University of Idaho - 3 semesters - B.A. in Journalism
Education isn't everything, but this is about the two highest offices in the land as well as our standing in the world.

You make the call.

My fear that John McCain will reach the office of President of the US is almost crippling. I wake up in the night, worrying and fretting that we will have a repeat of the 2004 election. This film just reiterated that the Republicans can and may very well steal the election again, even when the popular vote speaks loud and clear. Michael, you should run for office.

Kay · 1 year ago

Gray, I think this is for legal reasons. Michael doesnt own the european distribution rights to slacker uprising, so he cant give it away free over here. Maybe you should inquire with brave new films why this is so, instead of going after Michael like this. I am from Germany, and while it would have been nice to have the movie over here for free, too, I still believe it is a great enough thing to give it to the US and Canada like he does. Watch the clips that are available and please share your thoughts about the contents if you will, not the distribution process for europe. That is way off track and not important at all at this point in time.

Man.. i have to say.. I have been a huge fan since Roger and I. I have to say that you are (Mr. Moore that is) an inspiration to the world. I was born in Nigeria, but raised as a Ghanaian and now living in the United States... going through the long and arduous journey of gaining a green card, and trying to find a job.. I was so ashamed that I did not know the political climate in my own country... I like many others who leave to get an education elsewhere to make a difference in our own countries.. have become the slackers.. we know the injustice of the lives of people who have stayed.. but we have fallen out of touch and haven't been able to get to a place where we know enough to propose a solution... YOUR MOVIES.. give me the motivation I need to not only be involved in my second and third homes, but in my first home.. at the end of the day.. we all must affect where we are with compassion, love, respect and peace... I hope to be able to tell friends and family in my first home about you and the inspiration you to citizens here... Thank you for doing what you do.. and I pray to whoever is listening to give you the compassion, strength and wisdom to keep doing this for a long time!

I really enjoyed this film. I thought it was a riot seeing that ignorant woman yapping about George Bush is a christian so she was going to follow him. All the republican party people talk about is being strong christians and their values.
Whatever happened to the separation of church and state? Do these people realize that this country has people of all religions?
I fear this country is going to screw up another election and John McCain and the republicans will have another 4 years to further destroy this country.
Keep working hard in making films to help those who are ignorant and gullible and only believe what they want to believe and not listening to the truth.

I am a fan of Michael Moore's previous movies and have always voted Democratic in the past. I have not shared all of Moore's left views on government. I have mostly been a fan of his uncovering of corruption. I don't think that I should have to pay more taxes than i do because the government wastes money on slackers and mismanagement. I educated myself and I work long hours sometimes seven days a week and the huge amount of money I do pay in taxes is wasted. I do not think that health care is a right because there will be great waste and corruption by slackers and litigators. i think that the horrible corruption of the last eight years have destroyed our faith in conservatives and that reform is needed. McCain/Palin is a very reform minded ticket and i feel they should be our next leaders. Biden and Obama will be horrible leaders (not criminal like Bush but horrible never the less)

This movie sure brings back a lot of bad memories but still gives me hope for Tuesday. I already voted but I'm asking others to make sure that they vote.

Bush has run this country into the ground and I sincerely believe that anybody who can not see this, regardless of what political party they are part of, is truly ignorant.

To be honest with you I have always found Michael Moore a little full of himself. And I find this movie is the cherry on top. A whole movie of endless scenes of people cheering for him...Now don't get me wrong. I am a Canadian and very Liberal. And I do believe that what Mr. Moore is fighting for is so important for the U.S. right now. George Bush is stealing your liberties out from behind your backs and it is absolutely essential that you remove the Republicans from power on Tuesday if you still want some rights. And the campaign tactics of McCain are ridiculous. Do believe actually believe that Obama is a terrorist because his name rhymes with Osama? That Universal health care is some kind of communist plot? What year is this? 1950? Snap out of it and take your country back!

This is quite possibly the MOST important turning point in our nations political history, and I had that feeling in my stomach months ago - I started registering friends to vote and sharing the issues at hand, and if they couldn't relate, I shared stories of my own life and how I am being directly effected by our current administration. All of that work led up to my trip to the polls two days ago, which was a truly AMAZING experience. I waited in line for over six hours, and while I was, I found myself in such a wonderful place, something I had never experienced before - being surrounded by thousands of dedicated individuals, seeking change, and betterment for us all - I felt, for the first time like I was part of something, that I actually had a voice in our countries direction instead of being bullied and hustled down a destructive and dangerous path. GOTV... make your stance, make YOUR change happen!

bg · 1 year ago

Would America be in the mess it’s in now had we had a President Gore or a President Kerry?

Are we on the verge of doing it again? Will we fail ourselves and our country for fear of the color of a man’s skin? Will we really choose a man who is just another extension of the Bush administration? Will we vote for a man who in his own words says he voted with Bush over 90% of the time?

Because of our failure to do our jobs as Americans we now have over 4,000 Americans who have been killed in a war that was started over a lie. Our economy is shot to hell. Our jobs have been sent to foreign countries and a huge percentage of American families are being thrown out on the streets due to foreclosure on their homes because of the failed policies in the governing agencies who were entrusted to oversee the processes. And our standing in the world is at its all time lowest.

Now, we have the opportunity to vote for someone who can make a difference, someone who will, by his very presence, send a strong message to Washington and to the world that we have had ENOUGH. But, sadly there are many of us who will not vote for this man. Why? Because he is black.

Oh sure we try to convince ourselves that we make our choice because of “politics” and not because of race. But, we lie to ourselves as we have for so long. If this man were white the race would be over.

I look at the McCain/Palin rallies with all those cheering and jeering people, none of whom will ever see $250,000.00 in their lifetimes. Yet they boo and hiss when McCain mentions that Obama wants to give THEM the tax breaks and raise taxes on the incomes of millionaires. WTF? How do you get people to do that? And where do they find those Republican political pundits who speak and act like Stepford Wives with their blank stares and silly grinning faces who have memorized talking points, but who could not possibly muster an original thought? How do you get people to turn against themselves and to vote against their self interest just because the one who may actually help them is black?

Who are these people????? What’s wrong with them????? I guess ignorance really is bliss.

I’m a born again Christian but I actually READ the Bible along with keeping abreast of current world events. I watch CNN, MSNBC, and even (Fox News for entertainment purposes only), and of course I have seen every Michael Moore film I could find. It’s important to keep ones mind open if one is going to vote on the “issues”. Otherwise I guess I would just vote for the white guy too. Thank goodness there are more and more people who really pay attention to the issues and pay less attention to the distractions.

This time, my concern is not that people will not vote for Obama or that the numbers needed to push him over to victory will not come out in mass. My concern is that the votes will be stolen once again. The “machine” has so many cleaver ways of stealing the votes and even with the Obama Team’s incredible organization and professionalism, how can they keep the votes from being stolen once again. It happened twice before. What’s to stop them from doing it again?

For months now, I have been calling everyone I know and many people from the phone book as well. I figure if we can get huge numbers of people to choose Obama over McCain it will make it much harder for the “machine” to steal the votes.

I pray for the Obama Team and I thank God for Michael Moore and his amazing service to our country. I pray that this time, our country will finally be released from the grips of the monster and that we will at last move in the direction of healing. But, oh what a mess the next President is going to inherit! I don’t envy him one bit.

I am proud to be of the slacker uprising, i did my duty as a citizen of the United States of America, and that is to vote.
Today, four years after the election this film is about, i am watching the news, waiting to see Obama declared as the President Elect.
If there is one thing this movie has shown me it is that I have a voice, and i am not insane, what has happened for the last 8 years is the most un-american, un-constitutional, and inhumane discgrace on the face of American history.
It can all turn around with Obama, it can all turn around with a voice!!

Darryl · 1 year ago

I spread it to everyone I knew when I got it on September 23, 2008... We had an election in Cnada with the lowest turn-out in history as the public is jaded. The voting system currently does not fairly represent the votes. Even though our Prime Minister was not our main choice, he got in. He is and has been for some time mentored by a right -wing American Republican named Flanagan who moved to Calgary. He still mentors our Prime Minister. Flanagan is racist, mysoginistic, homophobic and worst of all, influencing our PM. I tried to ask people to vote every day until our elections. There are many voters who feel their vote no longer matters. It sucks. They are right though; the ridings need to be redrawn. And the PM correctly counted on voter apathy. He squeaked in. The opposition just din't clue into what the public really wanted, but all that didn't vote for him wanted him out...it's just that the votes got split by three other parties, all opposite what the PM stands for. Startegic voting didn't work, and I wonder how much influence the lack of voters had. But I voted. And I did my best to excite those to vote.
We hope Obama wins up here. We did not understand how a man with a history of running companies financially into the ground could lead the USA. Worse, he did the same with the USA that he did with those companies, which was to run it into the ground. Now the world is affected.
Much like our conservatives here, the republicans, touting a moral stand with religion as a foundation, practice some of the most intolerant, judgemental, hateful behaviour I have ever seen...in the name of God, mind you. How Christ-like. If he came back, I think he'd slap every one of them personally. I wonder how long that would take?
Thanks for the free movie, Mr. Moore. Keep it up! They're scared of you!

I have not finished watching this film, I have being an admirer of Michael Moore's work, but, A BIG but,
I can not understand how can he have miss the real name of this Irak conflict.
It was not a WAR, is was a bombardment and an armed occupation of a country. All by illegal means.
I'll finish watching this film at another time. I support his intentions and ideas but he has to learn more about what the real world is going through.

I want this country to hear my voice. that's why i voted for the first time yesterday and i voted Democrat because i want people of this country to have a voice. i want the working families of this country to have a voice. my mother and father work average jobs that they love and we have a beautiful family. we have a small house but its ours. we have two vehicles that run. i am a college student and i earn every penny i make. this is what our country stands for. the families. Bush is finally silenced and thanks to Michael Moore the truth is out. i thank him so much for what he has done for our country. i was hooked on Michael Moore when in sociology i watched "Bowling for Columbine". he spoke to everyone and everyone with the passion to do what was right for the people. i have watched several and i cant wait to share this one. this is a new era and i want to be a part of it. i want to make a difference even if its just a small one. i wont be a product of my environment, my environment will be a product of me.

Hi Michael and everyone else.... I just watched Slacker Uprising and just like all your other films I loved it!! You have a knack for getting your message out there and you are using your gift to save the world. Alot of people criticize you but just like you demonstrated in your film they don't know what they are talking about because they won't open their minds to all sides of the story. My favourite part (and I'm a Catholic by the way)... was at the one University where they were chanting the Lord's Prayer and you turned and said -- what would Jesus bomb? I thought that that was the most perfect response to the situation. I really wish I could attend one of your rallies.... I would love to see you here in Ontario, Canada so please come and inspire us too, okay???!?!? That is what I think of you - you are an inspirer, a motivator, a say-what-I'm-thinking kind of guy. One day you'll be recognized as a hero.... to me you're already there. Keep up the excellent work you're doing.

I, many times have spoken out against Micheal Moore because I a stunt he did many years ago. It involved him brining guns to the Canadian border jokingly saying he wanted to dirty the place up. This was on his show TV Nation. But, this movie, and the ideal of Moore getting people out there to vote I feel is one of his better judgment calls. I forgive you Micheal Moore for the gun incident, and know longer hold a grudge against you. I have watched many of your movies and read one of your books, the fact you take an interest in politics and encourage others to do so is inspiring. Thank You!!!!

Just watched "Slacker Uprising"---BEAUTIFUL!!! Sorry I did not see before 11/4/08, but was too busy working for the Obama/Biden campaign. Michael, what you did in 2004 not only affected the 2004 election, but planted the seed in the minds of our young people who came out in force in 2008. I was working in an Obama/Biden California campaign office across the street from a University and it was just so comforting to me as a 56-year old lifelong Democrat to see all the students working so hard in this election. I know what you do inspires so many young people---keep up your great work!!! FYI, my Mom is the one who originally discovered you for our family. Long, long ago she rented Roger & Me and once she watched it she insisted we come over to her house to watch it with her again. We all loved the movie, especially the part about Anita Bryant saying people just need to sing to feel better because that is the part that Mom would jump up and yell "I just want to punch that lady in the nose!" We love you and keep up your great work!!! Best Regards, Barbara

I just watched "Slacker Uprising" for the first time, and loved it. I also think that Michael Moore is a true American hero. Four years ago, I voted for John Kerry and hoped for a better future for this country. It was not to be. We ended up with four more years of the Bush Administration and four more years of a senseless war...Now, four years later, I proudly say that I voted for Obama, and so did my son (first time voter) and daughter. Yeah!!! I'm so proud of them, and so proud of our country for waking up! I'm hopeful that the new administration will turn this country around and get their priorities right. Thank you, Michael Moore, for your contribution to the change that we are soon to undergo. God Bless America!!!

It took a very evil stupid president that stole the election in 2000 to make the young people to say, hell no, no more. Thank you one and all for standing up for what is right and making those years so long ago all worth the pain and deaths of so many. We finally overcame, thank you.

I just saw this movie about two weeks ago and I thought it was a movie before its time. I loved it and thought Moore should have made for this election year instead of 2004. But I believe it serves as a learning experience even though the democrats lost it gave a complling argument for the next election.

Carol Bolt · 1 year ago

I'm a watcher from Canada who had an American mother. So my loyalties lie both sides of the Border. I hate the senselessness of the War and War. When the folks in the audience cheered the one soldier who stood up it made me cry! My Poppa served in WW on and WW 2, and Korea. I really think they do send the poor folks off to war and then when they get home there is no help for them. They come back damaged and the government don't even say thanks. Michael Moore has certainly outdone himself with this movie. I think it was a stroke of genius to let it be FREE too. So all the folks who might not see it could see it online or on DVD, whatever. What a remarkable and enlightened guy he is. Hopefully he has a suprise up his sleeve once more when he develops all the Obama election scenes and puts them into a movie as well. It might have taken 4 more years but the American people did turf the idiots from office. I never realized til watching the movie just how dangerous it might be for someone to take on the government in that manner either? Wow! The students who stood up and said "Yes We Can" and to Michael Moore who showed them how I say my hat is off to you on a most excellent job. God Bless and Full Speed Ahead to the good old US of A and Michael too.

Charles · 1 year ago

Say what you will about Michael. I think most people get lost on the media's propaganda, and miss the entire message of his films. And the message is always "Things need to change for the better.".

With that said, I thought this movie was good. There were a lot of good moments in this film. It made me very proud to be an American, because I realized we have more freedom than most nay-sayers would like you to believe.

We're not weak, or slackers at all. Maybe a little misguided at times. But this film is living proof that if we all work together, we can make things happen.

Now, we may have won the 2008 election with Obama, but the problems are not gone. We need to all work together.

the election is over. amazingly, he "other" candidate won. what are you thinking these days Michael Moore?? Will u continue to fight the good fight since it is far from over???? I so wish to be part of that because as I see it, this is just the beginning.

I'm a Canadian that watched the recent election with extreme interest. And I wish I had seen this movie before the election. To me, this movie wasn't about democrats and republicans...it was about the power of a vote. The power to make a change.

In the Canada and the US, we are extremely fortunate to be able to vote. Why do people forfeit that opportunity? Don't complain about the government if you can't take time out of your day to make an X on a ballot. The government will never make everybody happy...but all of us that can vote have a voice. Use it.

Another eye opening experience courtesy of Michael Moore. Thankfully the American people got it right this time around. As their neighbour to the north, we are affected by the political movements of American. Now if only America could get their voting systems figured out. There is absolutely nothing wrong with a pencil, a piece of paper and a simple X.

I voted Democrat, always have and always will. I believe the Republicans DON'T MAKE SENSE at all. They are anti-abortion but can careless if kids get health care, but yet they want those same kids to join the military. I'm sorry but the republican party doesn't makes sense. YES BUSH GLOBAL WARMING DOES EXISTS, you are just to STUPID to see it.

I don't agree with the Republicans, they want this nation to be a military nation, SORRY GUYS NOT HAPPENING! If America was suppose to be a Military Nation, then GUESS WHAT? The forefathers would have turn it into a military nation but they didn't. IT'S BECAUSE THEY WERE SMART AND FORESEEN FAKE PEOPLE LIKE BUSH, running the country.

IT MAKES ME PROUD NOT TO HAVE KIDS! SORRY REPUBLICANS BUT YOUR PLANS HAVE BEEN FIGURED OUT BY A 23 YEAR OLD!

Another excellent film by Michael Moore. I think though that he was wrong about who won the 2004 election. That election was seriously stolen. Unfortunately, one of the people who could tell us more about that fact is no longer with us, having died in a plane crash which is currently under investigation, Mike Connell. He was the IT guy at the center of the election controversy and the email scandal. I suggest people pay attention to the Mike Connell story (there has been a virtual corporate media blackout though, so details are sketchy).

Anyhow, thanks Michael Moore!!!

Merrybelle · 10 months ago

Hey I just watched this 2/20/09, BUT I LOVED it. Michael Moore draws you in to his fabric of action and dissent. Great music. Great rhetoric. He moves audiences. He puts the "human" in "human discourse." It's four plus years later. Bush won in 2004. We all won in 2008! Moore did his part. We all did our parts. Together we prevailed! Thanks be to God...to us all...to Michael Moore!!!

Michael Moore is an angel. He uncovers the truth and he's not afraid to do so. He should be president!!!! We are in a world of zombies, everyone is brainwashed, but some are more than others, thats for sure.

Dear Mr. Moore: I think I used my constructive expertise: second only too you, can in the shadows watch a Michael Moore movie that gives Prersident Obama the guarantee for his second term in office.
If interested I have someone I'd like you to talk with-via phone or at your convenience in person.

Pure fluff, typical Moore BS. As long as we as Americans accept this corrupt two party system in the U.S., we will never escape tyranny. Until we all learn that the banksters are the true rulers of this country, we will not escape the tyranny. Until we all learn that Bilderberg group calls ALL the shot, we don't have an ice cube's chance in hell to escape our enslavement and our Orwellian reality. Wake up people, go to sites like www.Rense.com, www.InformationClearingHouse.info, www.Prisonplanet.tv, and www.Infowars.com are learn what the mainstream media, politicians, and film makers like Moore don't want you to learn and see. Google Alex Jones' Endgame and watch a REAL movie that tells it like it is.... The time is now, WAKE UP!!!

What was I supposed to walk away with? Wanting to vote? Why would I want to choose between two people who I don't think can run this country? Come on mike, we used to be friends. Why not focus on the idea that none of these people are viable to be our president. I'd work for you the rest of my life if you took a real stance.

FYI, I will not be voting. But thank you for making your film free for viewing.

Everyone knows politicians and their party are sleeze bags. But unfortunately they are the only ones you CAN vote for. Sure they are both shitty choices. BUT you vote for the party that has YOUR best interests in mind. For example, bush is pro war and loves the private companies running the show. How does that help you? If it doesn't then don't vote for him, vote for the other guy. Simple as that.

JTLans · 1 year ago

1.) Global Warming only exists because of Al Gore. It's just like God, it's made up. In the 90's Al Gore, and the Clinton administration. Very simply, Al Gore used the Clinton Administration to further his own goal and dumped funding for Scientific groups that claimed there WAS no Global Warming. That's why you only see Pro-Global Warming scientific reports in general during the 90's. Before that, we were headed towards an Ice Age.

2.) Michael Moore is a sensationalist. As much or more-so than the modern news networks. And he happens to be just as biased. Moore claiming that it's just the Media being propaganda, is the kettle calling the pot black. He never answers whether or not he's propaganda, either, 'Anti-Propaganda' is still propaganda that he makes money off of. Fahrenheit 9/11 was already debunked. This movie just seemed like a big 'feeling' piece, with some scattered facts that weren't complete. It's so easy to show the ignorant of a party, rather than debunk that arguments of the strongly positioned - especially when their overall position is not much different than your own.

3.) If you're seriously going to vote for Obama, and vote for more Socialistic government policies when you don't want the government deciding things for you, deciding war for you, etc, then you're out of luck. You may want to do more research on the current centralized Federal government, and the policies they put into place. If you give government power, they will use it 100% of the time. That is what a Socialist government does, it takes power from people and gives it to the government, and the government wields it 'justly'. The only way to stop it is to remove socialistic policies, as many as you can, and not push for a more socialistic government. If you don't want the government telling you what to do, you should try putting a party that is more for FREEDOM than the Socialists or Conservatives. The Liberal party is losing ground to the Socialist movement, which is utterly ridiculous. The easiest example to show you of how Socialist governments use power, is just to look into Germany just before the Nazi movement. They used Nationalism and Religion to rally the people, and while you can use anything - those are associated with Fascist states because of that. Hitler then moved in once the people were behind him, and just manipulated laws already in place and took the power away from the government entirely. If you think the Patriot Act is bad, just wait and see. Did you know that the majority of Congress did not even READ the Patriot Act, and that Obama AND McCain both voted for it the second time around? The Patriot Act is not an act of protection, nor are most of the organizations created after 9/11, they are worthless organizations that stomp on your civil liberties - and pave the way for a totalitarian regime in the form of a Socialist government. The people will at least outright resist a balance in power, and it's never the people that TELL you what they're doing that you have to worry about - it's the people that sneak in the back door. Socialism fails to support it's people in the way free people should be treated, 100% of the time in every historical instance, its stupid to think that Americans would be the exception to the rule.

4.) With the economy failing epically, you might ALSO want to see who the majority party is in the Senate and look up the difference between presidential powers and powers of the Senate. The Democrats are the majority in power right now, and have been for several years. We're failing under a Democratic Senate and House, but we're under a Republican President and it's his fault. But of course, it was the President when we are in good shape underneath of a Republican Congress as well, and we have a 'surplus'. Then suddenly, when the Democratic President gets out of office, we're in trillions of dollars of debt again? Then again, Democrats and Republicans don't seem to exist anymore, just Conservatives and Socialists.

5.) This is all a power struggle to get you to vote against yourself. If your vote is swayed by a movie, a song, or the authors of a movie, book, song, etc.. then you're as foolish as they are. To think that Entertainers in Hollywood have more knowledge about the goings on of the world than people like learned scientists, experienced pilots, generals in the military, etc? And taking the opinions of these people lightly in comparison to people like Michael Moore, and Dylan Avery? Okay. Check your facts, never take the opinion of ANY of these people at face value.

6.) If you still think Bush was an unelected President, you're mistaken and know nothing about the electoral process, nor the checks in balances in place to prevent several states from taking over the election. The Electoral Process is made to represent what the States want, not the mass of people. Gore lost the State vote, which is the vote that matters, which is determined by the amount of counties won in certain states, and determined by the amount of people that candidate won over in certain States. The founding fathers felt that the mass of people as a whole were uneducated, and easily manipulated to the bidding of their leaders and large groups. They turned out to be right.

7.) Michael Moore wants your money, and wants your opinion swayed to his so he can make more money. He makes incredibly powerful films, but as with most things people don't check out the facts on these movies. The facts are easy to find, and put light on movies like this that just play to emotion and not fact. When you let emotion get the better of you, and let the human element get into law, you put yourself in a dangerous position. The human element should never play into Law, because Law is not a human thing. It is an easily manipulated thing, and without checks and balances within the laws, you put yourself in a dangerous position.

8.) If you really want change, don't listen to this movie. Instead, go to a library and pick up a book on Economics, our Republic Democracy's formation, and learn about the process of a Republic. You'll find that happy people are a prosperous people that work, and are not given things. The more you are given things, the more you suffer.

9.) The Iraq War was more about Oil and US interests. It also happened to be about Saddam continually giving the US and the UN the finger for years. It was bound to happen. The war has ended, it's become a battle for stabilization, which is almost won. Whether or not it will be worth it, will be seen when we start taxing the Iraqis and make them our newest State - which will undoubtedly happen at some point.

10.) Check your facts. That is the best thing you can do. Don't take one source at it's word, check multiple sources, and don't fall prey to emotion, let your sense carry you not your humanity. Humanity is one of our best attributes, but as with common life if you help someone too much it becomes bad for them and for you.

playing with JTLans answers, starting by referencing #10, at which JTLans says, "Check your facts. That is the best thing you can do. Don't take one source at it's word, check multiple sources, and don't fall prey to emotion, let your sense carry you not your humanity. Humanity is one of our best attributes, but as with common life if you help someone too much it becomes bad for them and for you."

Just a little help here for people who might have been confused by your emotional post. Not too much, don't want it to become bad for anyone ;)

1. Yes, and the earth is only round because of Aristotle.

2. If you think Farenheit 9/11 was already debunked, maybe you should "check your facts, check multiple sources, and don't fall prey to emotion." (see #10 in your original post.) I guess you haven't seen enough *credible* scientific information to make an informed decision on the matter. The information is on the web, for free. Check it out.

3. You start out saying that voting for Obama won't help bring about a better government situation. It sounds like you're suggesting that voting for McSame is a better choice, but then you broaden to talk about government in general, not related to Democrat/Republican. As is reminded in Slacker Uprising, no matter who wins the election, the work we have to do to insure peace and justice does not stop there.

4. Didn't follow your confusing train of thought here. Next...

5. "never take the opinion of ANY of these people at face value."... including the brave soldiers who choose to put their lives and reputation on the line to speak *out* against the illegal war going on in Iraq?

6. I can't say it better than: http://whatreallyhappened.com/WRHARTICLES/2004v...

7. What, besides your own emotion and "human element" are you expressing here? Next...

8. " happy people are a prosperous people that work, and are not given things" Does that include the migrant workers producing most of the food and processing most of the meat in this country without health benefits or job security? Does that include the people who are losing their homes to foreclosure now? Oh yeah, and don't forget to research how foreclosures are being used to prevent people from casting votes if they've lost their homes, and were registered to vote at that address. If people who are given things are suffering, these people must be OVERJOYED!!! Thanks for helping me understand this.

9. Iraq war about US interests? Mass murder and immense social/environmental devastation are not anything I am personally *interested* in at any time. Nor would I say the effects of the illegal Iraq war are over by any means. Nor can someone giving the finger to the US and UN be seen as appropriate justification for such actions. Ever. Oh and guess what I found in my "research of multiple sources" . . . The elder George Bush's regime provided arms to and funded Hussein's development of chemical weapons. Check out "The Best Enemies Money Can Buy" by Michael C. Ruppert.

10. Hope this didn't help you *too* much. Wouldn't want to create any hardships for anyone by shedding too much light. <--- sarcasm.

All human beings have an invitation to think, feel, express, love, enjoy, feel free, and share that humanity with others. Enjoy your life! Share some humanity! Say hi to your neighbor and vote for people and policies that feel good. It might just make our world a better place...

JTLans · 1 year ago

I'm Sorry. I'm a big fatty with fatty fingers. My attempts to appear intelligence has faileds. I only admire Michael Moore and wanted to approach the facts with the same hard edge questioning and standards. I believe in Michael Moore because I too am fat. Fats shares think alike. Please do not take offence of my words. I only wish for topical discourse.

1. There is so much sadness and anger in life that time is makes the pain worse. Do not be afraid of the roundness of our beautiful big world

2. I realize now that all possible facts and information about 9/11 was in Michaels movie. Why need textbooks. No need for Moore to run president. Moore is already big happy Buddha.

3 I should not have told you who to vote for. Your vote is your choice. Like how apple pie is my fatty choice.

4 Do you not see the epicness of the fall that econemy took. If only my fatty tummy was there to stop it.

Tell me that you love me more.

You're Republican party is the most dangerous regime in world history. The awful truth of 911 might just give you nightmares Mr, if you really knew what happened on that day. Your gov't purposefully murdered thousands of its own citizens to forward a cynical neo-con vision of a New World Order. A plan that was years in the making and you swallowed the bait just as you were expected to. Fox & CNN are a sham front for Right Wing Propagandists.You know there was a time when American journalists actually fought for the truth. Those days are long gone and we're in the midst of a conservative backlash the likes of which has never been seen before. Bush, Chaney, Wolfivitz, Poindexter, Rumsfeld, the ONLY axis of exil worth shouting about. The new Roman Empire exists and quite frankly as your cozy neighbor I'm absolutely ashamed to be next to it.

TO "JTLans" RE your #7:

=========================================================================
First:
> Michael Moore wants your money,
HUH?? wow. you ARE self-delusional !!!!
What part of "Download this for free." do you NOT UNDERSTAND, lamebrain?
gawd...... I swear, the lunatic fringe just really does pop up anywhere, don't they?

And as for the rest of your section #7:
For at least the last 8 or 9 years, the Republican party has been vigorously & with apparent "passion" been waving an American flag into all of our faces with a fake stolid smile on their camera-loving faces with their one hand, getting Joe Q. Public closer to them in mistaken trust, and with their other hand, have been serruptitiously reaching around behind all the Joe Q's backs that they can bamboozle into vacuos thought & then pickpocketing all those Joe's wallets IN BROAD DAYLIGHT!!
Reasoning with you hateful types is like talking to a wall..... NOTHING registers 'cause truth scares the shit outta ya-all when such truth proves that YOU and YOUR IDEAS are in fact just plain wrong in any area whatsoever of your clownish diatribes.
You types' self-esteem is based upon how well you-all can keep the truth from entering into your brains and from thusly adversely affecting your wrong-spirited ulterior motives.
I don't know why I just wrote that last line..... won't change anything for the better in you & your types, when you like the darkness of your blinders.

ugh.
its a good thing this is streaming for free, because i cant imagine anyone paying for it. its basically and hour and a half of michael moore and some of his famous friends pointing out how awesome they are, culminating in his tacit claim to credit for the record turnout of young voters. just obnoxious.
if you doubt the focus of this film, notice now many times he even acknowledges kerry. its immaterial. kerry was immaterial. he was the lesser of two evils. at least thats why i voted for him. but for moore to spend such a long time pointing out his sycophantic cheerleading for the democratic party while concurrently demonizing the republican base is just self-defeating. he is his own worst enemy.
and this is my problem with moore in general. i dont think hes a bad guy. hes just an asshole. and every time he makes a film, he exploits a political issue to air out his opinions to the largest possible audience. this time, the political issue is him. it reminds me of reporters starting a fire to make news.
each film moore makes gets more and more self-congratulatory, and this is the pinnacle. this is pure masturbation, with the current election as a footnote at the end.

Joel · 1 year ago

You miss the point frankly. He's a conduit for what's most urgent right now on the table. Are you the least bit concerned that the Republican Party not only orchestrated 911, purposefully and wantonly murdered 5000 of YOUR fair citizens to forward the vision of a small sector of neo-con fascists bent on establishing a New World Order on your block buddy. WAKE UP, It's not about whether or not Moore's latest entry stands as entertainment. It is timely and pins the tail on the donkey. You're nation is about to go down in flames....and all you seem to care about is esthetics. Why not check out this website: WWW.BRASSCHECK TV.COM spend an hour watching the new documentary "Loose Change" available for free via the 911 link. All the evidence you need is right there. These bastards are leading us into armageddon swifty, and frankly how long will it take before AMERICANS take a stand once and for all and EMPEACH BUSH, ARREST CHENEY, WOLFIVITZ, POINDEXTER, RUMSFELD & SHUT DOWN THE REPUBLICAN MACHINE FOR A THOUSAND YEARS

sn · 1 year ago

Joel, You're absolutely RIGHT!!! Why is Jacob missing this point? It's unbelievable when people are up in arms focusing on the negativity when they are totally missing the point. WE ARE NOW 40 DAYS INTO OUR LAST BIT OF THIS FIGHT TO GET A CHANGE INTO THE OFFICE HERE.... Let's all get to it!

From the beginning when Bush stole the election in 2000 up through now, he has lied to all of us, claiming that Al Chaida was responsible for 911. What a crock of shit. That was so obvious to so many of us; yet, I know people who believe that lie still!!! It's unbelieavalbe. I'm amazed at the stupidity of some of the people here in America.

Moore took some good interviews of our citizens and captued my thoughts on why we're in the mess we're in. I wish people like Jason would take the cotton out of their mouth and put it in their ears.

Joel · 1 year ago

Too true SN. Listen I urge you ta take the time to watch the documentary "Endgame" - via google video it's free to view. America is crumbling and the seeds of the breakdown arose from a corrupt sector of neo-cons as early as 1812. THE BILDERBOURG GROUP is the giant hydra which consists of Corporate elites who meet every 4 yrs to reshape the world via the manufacturing of war, via bank fraud of the most heinous kind, deep deep corruption that led to events such as 911. Nothing is unreasonable or impossible to fathom after understanding the roots of evil in this world.

jacob jones · 1 year ago

what the hell are you talking about? the point? how was anything in that movie related to anything you are saying? ive seen loose change, and frankly i think i have enough of a brain to not swallow everything given to me whole. everyone's working an angle.

you know, ive given generously to the obama campaign, voted in the primaries, was a delegate for obama, and try and talk about him and the issues whenever i can to whoever i can. I am a conduit for change, as is everyone who actually does something instead of just complaining about it.

but this movie sickened me, it was just so self-centered and reprehensibly sycophantic to the point of fanaticism.

i am not a democrat. i am not a republican. i choose who i think will do the best job, who i believe in the most, i will not blindly follow someone because the party i belong to picked them. and thats what really bothered me, moore didnt care about kerry. this movie is a testament to the amaurotic adulation that good old fashioned propaganda can produce. the right has rush, the left has moore.
i just wish that no one took either of them too seriously.

friggin america · 1 year ago

Really, tho, when has Moore flat out lied to his audience like Rush has? I believe that this film is pure leftist propaganda, but when did Mike ever say that you had to vote for liberals to protect the American way? He just said that all Americans should vote, regardless of their affiliation. I'm glad you like Obama, but really, wouldn't our whole system work better if everyone saw this movie and was encouraged to voice their opinion, be it left or right wing, instead of people just not caring?
