One at a Time: An undecided OH voter makes a decision
...to NOT vote for Bush.

Last time I saw this woman, about a month ago, she was firmly undecided. She definitely planned to vote but wanted to be careful about the decision. Would maybe wait for the debates to decide, or watch some speeches.

So we planted a seed, and encouraged her to learn as much as she could about the candidates.

And then she saw F-9/11.

This is rural Southern Ohio, by the way. As we were driving in yesterday evening, we saw more Kerry/Edwards signs than Bush/Cheney signs (though the 3 or 4 B/C bumperstickers we saw were more than I've ever seen in all of California!), what appeared to be a Kerry gathering at a house along the road, and the Kerry/Edwards HQ in the little town we're in.

Don't lose hope in Ohio.

2. That's why F9/11 should be aired on television
and that to meet that goal, the film
can't be eligible for best documentary
at the Oscars.

I hoped it's aired pre-election.
It will do Moore good that way.

3. DVD Release date is Oct. 5
Let's be sure we get a LOT of these DVDs into the hands of the undecided voters. It's not going to sway many Bushies, but if someone truly hasn't made up their mind, this will do it.

I plan to buy several and send them to people in Swing States. I hope the local orgs in those states have some plans to distribute this film.

8. I want to know does he have a commitment from any tv station to
run this movie??? The way the media has become so bias or maybe more than bias, down right goose stepping right along with this administration I would like to know which station will run it. Even if they make a commitment who is to know if they will keep it.

10. Maybe PBS should air it....since it's public television
yeah, right. It should be on regular networks
that anyone without cable can watch.

12. Nothing announced so far
I read that it may get aired on PBS or on a Pay-Per-View channel -- I hope not PPV, that's a waste of time. Not enough people will watch.

It needs to be aired in Prime Time on Network TV, but that might be asking too much...

7. F9/11 should be sold in bulk
a pack of like ten or a hundred. Hell, 50 on a spindle would be cool. Sell it for cost of production and I personally will give them out to everyone I meet. Pass them out in grocery stores. Give one to my mom's hairdresser. Anyone!

4. Republican voter at work today
asked me for a Keryy bumper sticker.

"Hey", asked I, "I thought you vote Republican?"

"F* Bush", he fumed, "I'm voting for Kerry."

And yes, I'm in OHIO.
