Christmas Comes Early - Buy 5 Copies Of Fahrenheit and Give Them Away
Pick 5 people who are undecided - friends, family, co-workers, whatever, buy the DVD and give it to them as a gift.

If enough people do this, it could have an impact.

DVD is due out October 5.

2. Donate them to libraries, too. PLEASE.
I work in the Collection Development (where we choose library materials, not that other kind of collection) office of a major city library system.

Funds for libraries are tight, and getting tighter under this regime. DVDs are always in heavy demand. Patrons will borrow any title they can get their hands on if they've heard about it.

One donated copy can get out to dozens of people.

3. Is there anyone organzing this so people could 'adopt' a library
so as to make sure as many libraries including branch libraries as possible each get a copy?

7. Not that I'm aware of, but it's possible.
Most libraries with a decent AV budget will have already ordered it, but smaller libraries/systems may not have the funds and are always grateful for any AV item they can get.

It's worht it to call ahead.

Another idea is to donate to High Schools and their libraries. Their funds are notoriously short, and it may hit that 17 year old voting for the first time!

6. Done, with 4
but, I'm keeping one copy for myself to watch over and over again if chimpy gets reselected, shudder. Should keep my blood boiling on cold winter nights.
