Wanna know why? Because he got an email saying the film needed to be stopped. He may be a fundy, but he doesn't like censorship and it made him curious to see what all the fuss is about.

3. Fundies Are A Free Marketing Tool
Heavy metal bands have known this for years.

5. Thanks for the idea. I'm trying to get my Dad to go and this is just the
kind of thing that will work with him. He is an Independent who leans Republican. My Mom and I are trying to get him to go with us on Friday or Saturday. If anybody tells him what to do or not to do he automatically goes the other direction.

He doesn't like Shrub but he doesn't like Kerry either. He says he may vote for Nader. We are working on it. I will be visiting them for the weekend by myself (kids and hubby are staying home).

7. Perhaps if you can convince him that these are Bush's own words..
.. I think if the fence-sitters are convinced by others that the film is NOT an interpretation or not a diatribe, not a scripted account.. but the actual words and documentation of many types of people in the country... perhaps that would convince them. I think a lot of people are afraid, or just assume that this film is two hours of Moore telling them what an asshole Bush is. I hope you can convince him, that if he doesn't like Shrub, that voting for Nader is like a vote for Shrub. Better to stay home. If he sees the film, he will be more motivated to do the latter, or even vote for Kerry.

8. I just found out he agreed to go because I want him to and I don't
get to visit them by myself very much anymore.

9. That strikes me as very cool
I really like it when family members put their feelings and respect for each other first. Have a great time spending time with your dad.
