Support Fahrenheit 9/11

I've seen it posted on a couple of blogs today, but here's Tom Tomorrow's (This Modern World) mention of it:

Here's a Republican PR firm trying to shut down Michael Moore's new film. (More on them here.) If you scroll down you'll see that they thoughtfully provide a list of email addresses for major theatre chains, so visitors to their site can let theatre owners know that they appreciate and patronize businesses that don't buckle under to right wing thuggery.

That's how we can use it, anyway.

Note that emails to the National Amusements addresses (@national-amusements.com) have an anti-spam filter... you will have to send them as separate notes.

This is what I sent to those theatres who are already presenting the film; I modified it slightly for those who have yet to decide about showing it.

Hello.

I thought I would write a letter of support for Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11" specifically, and freedom of speech in general.

Surely, this film has already created controversy with regard to its content, but in a country wherein freedom of speech is not only treasured but guaranteed, I praise your decision to make this film available.

There are those who would like to see the message of this film supressed for their own political, dubious gain, but these are the same people who would like us to believe -- in this case, escpecially -- that making use of one's freedom of speech equates to being "Anti-American".

Again, I thank you for making this film available, and hope that the publicity yields much attention for your theatres; that your profits are high.
