Let's Go See Sicko!!!!!!!!

[babsbunny]

Many of you have written us to ask when SiCKO will be
opening in your
own city. Thanks to the fabulous response of those in
the debut
cities, they are adding another 500 theaters this
weekend, hopefully
now one near you. So if you have not seen the film
yet, or want to
get together a group of friends to go see again, here
is the ticket
link.

Or you can call 866-967-4256. In just two weeks, SiCKO
is already the
5th highest grossing documentary ever, and we can push
it much higher
if we all get out and demonstrate our support for
health care reform.

Just as importantly, we need every warm body we can
muster to submit
the action page in support of H.R. 676, which would
extend medicare
in the same way that every other civilized industrial
nation covers
their people.

AND HERE IS A MESSAGE FROM MICHAEL MOORE HIMSELF

SiCKO in Top 5 Grossing Docs of All Time -- This
Weekend it's "SiCKO
Night in America!"... from Michael Moore

Friends,

Good news! SiCKO, after less than three weeks in
national release,
has become one of the top five grossing documentaries
of all time!
So, this coming weekend, the distributor is expanding
the movie by
opening it in nearly 500 new theaters in small cities
all over the
country (for a total of nearly 1,200 screens
nationwide)! From Rapid
City to Carson City, from Gettysburg to Pearl Harbor,
from Juneau to
Battle Creek -- they're all getting SiCKO today
(Friday). Scores of
cities that never have a documentary come to their
local theater will
now be able to see this one. It's happening all thanks
to you who
live in the larger cities and have supported SiCKO so
strongly. It's
led the studio to say, "Let's make more prints and
ship them to
Oshkosh (and Beaverton and Brattleboro and Sault Ste.
Marie and...)."
The entire country goes SiCKO in less than 48 hours!

So, friends, this is it. This is the weekend to go see
SiCKO if you
haven't seen it. I get a lot of letters from people
saying they plan
to "get around" to seeing it "soon." Well, soon is
here! Trying to
get theaters to give us screens when we are up against
huge summer
blockbusters is an almost impossible task. SiCKO won't
be around
forever. And if you're waiting for the DVD, ask anyone
who's seen
SiCKO -- this is a movie you want to see with a crowd
of people in a
theater.

So let's pack the movie houses this weekend! Send an
email to
everyone you know, call your friends and tell them,
"It's SiCKO Night
in America!"

And, to show my thanks to all of you who'll go see
SiCKO this
weekend, I'm going to send one of you and a guest on a
free weekend
to the universal health care country of your choice!
That's right.
You'll get to pick one of the three industrialized
countries featured
in the movie where, if you get sick, you get help for
free, no matter
who you are. All you have to do is send us your ticket
stub (make
sure it says SiCKO on it and has the name of the
theater and this
weekend's date on it -- Friday, Saturday or Sunday -
July 20th, 21st,
22nd). Attach the stub to a piece of paper with your
name, address,
phone number and email and send it to: 'Sicko' Night
in America, 888c
8th Avenue, Suite 443, New York, NY 10019. (Yes, you
have to use that
old 18th century device called the U.S. Postal
Service, and it has to
be postmarked on or by Tuesday, July 24th). First
prize is a weekend
in the city of your choice: Paris, London or Toronto.
This includes
airfare, hotel, meals and, most exciting, a
representative from their
fine universal health care system who will give you a
personal tour
so you can see how they treat their fellow citizens.
You'll meet
people who pay nothing for college and citizens who
are in the fourth
week of their six-week paid vacation. Oh, and you'll
have time to see
the Eiffel Tower, Big Ben or whatever they have in
Toronto that is
old and tall. (If you don't have a passport, we'll pay
for that,
too!)

Canadians who are reading this -- you're probably
thinking, "Hey,
what about us? Where do we get to go?" Quit
complaining! You're
already there! But just to make it up to you -- and to
prove we don't
hold it against you for smugly walking out of a
hospital with the
same amount of money in your wallet that you went in
with -- we'll
let you participate in the drawing, too.

Thanks again to everyone who has gone to see SiCKO.
Take a friend or
two this weekend and celebrate "SiCKO Night in
America."

Yours,

Michael Moore mmflint.com www.michaelmoore.com

1. It's hard to find in Los Angeles because of Harry P.

I've already seen it and wanted to see it again.

One of our major shows,The Bridge, is not showing it and has let Harry take over about 4 of it's show rooms.


Check out the locations, it is missing some major locations.

5. I saw it last night. I'm still depressed.

I "knew" a lot of what it talked about, but seeing the real-life people affected really hit me. Of course the stuff about the poor and not-rich-enough was very powerful (the woman dumped out of the cab, the man refused a bone marrow transplant, etc. Somehow I had previously internalized that sort of scenario.

But what really amazed me, and what I hadn't thought as much about before, was seeing the lives of middle-class to upper-middle class French family. What would it be like to not toss and turn at night worrying about how you'll save enough to send your kids to college or how you'll get by financially if someone is hit with a catastrophic illness? It filled me with sadness and regret and a wistfulness for what this country could have been had it taken another road earlier in the 20th century. Instead, all the propaganda we heard about our country being the greatest nation on earth was a load of crap. This is a country that lets itself be ground into the dirt under the toes of a very small group of mega-rich corporatists.

8. Saw it last night

and had a similar reaction. I was so ashamed of what we have not done for our citizens. Ashamed is not what I want to be any longer. I am tired of it.

Cuba, for crying out loud, takes better care of its citizens' health needs than we do.
