Vote for Michael Moore on Sunday - send media a message

[helderheid]

What does this have to do with the stolen election? Well, what would it say if Michael Moore won Greatest American award? With Bush's poll numbers swirling down the toilet, I think people might wake up a bit to the fact that 2004 could not have been fair if Michael Moore won this award!

Vote Michael Moore! No matter if you think someone else on the list deserves it more (I don't), SEND THE MEDIA A MESSAGE!

[LiberalVoice]

1. This is awesome!

"Moore was elected to the Davison, Mich., Board of Education at age 18 on the platform that the high school’s principal and vice-principal should be fired; by his term’s end, both had resigned."

[babsbunny]

2. Thanks for the idea!

[Imagevision]

33. Michael Moore?--Done!! pass it around!

[kliljedahl]

3. So I'm a dummy

How do you vote?


Keith’s Barbeque Central

[helderheid]

5. Go here

http://tv.channel.aol.com/greatestamerican?page=nominees&subpage=moore

It says voting starts Sunday - I'm guessing you go back there then - it may start 8pm EST.

There's a place on the page you can click that will sign you up to get an email reminder.

Can I get a nomination? :)

[MelissaB]

10. I get the honor of giving the third.

[helderheid]

12. Thanks!

;)

Do I get a 4th? Anyone? :D

[helderheid]

4. I saw that too and thought

He rocks. Active from the start! Good on him.

[Ian David]

6. I was going to vote for Carl Sagan, but OK, I'm voting for Michael Moore

But only because John Stewart and Barbara Boxer aren't on the list.

[helderheid]

9. thanks

Boxer and Stewart - HEROS!!

Thanks for voting for Mike - I'd love to see him win and the look on Lauer's face!

[Ian David]

7. Anyone know how to write a script to submit multiple votes? n/t

[helderheid]

8. Ask Wally O'Dell!

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

[MelissaB]

11. LMAO, too!

:rofl:

[kittenpants]

13. If Michael Moore wins do you think it might cause...

Sean Hannity's head to explode?

[helderheid]

14. We can only hope!!!

[Kire]

15. over Mohamed Ali?

for shame

my vote is for Dr. King, though

[helderheid]

16. ok...

but this is about making a loud statement to the media. At least that's what I'm suggesting! Rock the boat!

[Kire]

34. loud statement...

...signifying, well, hopefully something

[helderheid]

35. good on ya

[sellitman]

17. Michael Moore can kiss my Lilly white....

He still never admitted he was wrong equating Al Gore and * as one in the same. Just imagine how 8 years of Gore would have been compared to the Village Idiot we have now.

:rant:

[helderheid]

18. I think he more than made up for that

with F 911 but that's just me

[sellitman]

26. I see....he went commercial after the fact and that's ok with you.

He had a clear choice then blew it. He then had another chance and wouldn't admit he blew it. Sounds alot like someone else we know huh? It is always about Michael Moore. I have no use for him.

NO he did NOT make it up to us. He mearly lines his pockets while by-passing the sad truth.......he helped * in 2000.

Screw him!

:mad:

[helderheid]

30. that's not the point

That's beside the point. It's about sending a message to the media. MM is preceived a certain way by most Americans. Voting for him sends the media a message.

[sellitman]

31. Voting for Bill Clinton sends a better message.

Far better.


IMHO

[helderheid]

37. This is about the media

[sellitman]

38. Exactly why I would vote Clinton.

The "media" had a field day on him.

[helderheid]

51. Michael Moore not on the top 25

We can vote online now... for the top 25!!!! Who cut the other 75??

Can you believe shrub made it??? Well, so did Clinton. Rosa Parks. Einstein. MLK Jr. MM isn't there.

[Carolab]

56. Right. Vote CLINTON. Bush is getting more votes. THIS IS WRONG.

Must stop Bush from claiming this "prize".

[helderheid]

58. shall we stand behind clinton?

i'm all for it

[Carolab]

59. HELL YES!!! n/t

[jarnocan]

19. Thanks! I hope he wins

We had a Michael Moore thread on the political forum at OLS, and from what I have read, he is a very brave and compassionate person.
His web site is such a lovely and informative souce- full of compassionate ideas to help people, important and interesting information. He is one of my greatest heros. I've seen and read a lot of is stuff.

[jarnocan]

48. me too

love Michaelmoore.com
oops dang on MSNBC Downing St. memo- Tim Russert MTP from this AM.
I can't stand this guy Perkins??? that is on.
OK I"ll find the right thread- what a BU**SH**Inc. puke.

[mandyky]

[Mr.Green93]

28. Come on

Do you think those kind of pictures are helpful?

[helderheid]

29. jeeez

I didn't look closely until this morning

:scared:

[AtLiberty]

39. I still can'f figure out how to vote --

???

[rdmccur]

40. Nor I.

Anyone figure it out?

[helderheid]

43. Go to the link in the main message...

Click on Michael Moore's name - voting begins 6 PM EST

[LeahD]

49. There's a link on the left of the page, "Cast Vote."

When you click on the link, it lists the "Top 25" with toll free numbers to call. It appears that you can only vote for one of the top 25.

Edit.....have to have pop-up blocker off.

[helderheid]

50. THANK YOU!!!!

[Hissyspit]

32. Rush Limbaugh is on their list????

They're kidding, right?

[rdmccur]

36. Kick

[dchill]

41. But what about Thos. Jefferson?

IMO, the true father of our country.

[helderheid]

42. this is more about creating a media stir

I think MM would create the biggest one.

[LightningFlash]

44. I'm indifferent to Michael Moore.

I think some things he may get right, but everything else doesn't sit well with me.

[Ian David]

45. We shouldn't split with a third-party candidate. DU endorses Moore.

[Ian David]

46. Problem solved. (MAYBE) Turn off pop-up blockers!

I've tried in Mozilla AND Internet Explorer.

Try holding down the "control" button when you click on "voting starts June 5th"

Here's the direct link for Michael Moore:
http://tv.channel.aol.com/greatestamerican?page=nominees&subpage=moore

It let me sign-up for an alert, but doesn't seem to have let me vote.

[helderheid]

47. this is fucking frustrating

Greatest American premieres Sunday, June 5, at 8 p.m. ET/PT
Every Sunday in June, Discovery Channel wants you to help decide the "Greatest American."

Discovery will be counting down from the Top 100 and asking you to vote (online, at AOL; via a toll-free phone line; or through text messaging) for your choice of the Greatest American.

Get ready for the show by reviewing the top 100.

And get a schedule of all episodes and air times.

I CAN'T FIND HOW TO VOTE ONLINE!!!

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[smartvoter]

52. It only gives me the top 25 to vote for. nt

[helderheid]

53. Yes, see the post previous

I am confused how they managed to cut 75 of them on their own??

[LeahD]

57. Guess it's a scam or

maybe someone hacked the vote.

[kster]

55. If * is in the top 25%

somethings not right,and Discovery,is one of only three stations I would watch since the election in my town 48,52 and 60, to bad Discovery, now I'm down to two. * should not have been in the top one hundred.

"What state is Wales in". Puuulease Discovery.

[rdmccur]

54. Time window for voting too narrow; missed it

[Helga Scow Stern]

60. I just voted for Clinton....

Would just as soon vote for FDR or MLK, but don't want to split the ticket.

I just clicked on the bottom half of his picture.

[helderheid]

61. did the same

Thanks

[helderheid]

62. you can vote up to 3 times per week

[Einsteinia]

63. Huh?????????????

I adore Michael Moore and have been a long time fan. I think his use of humor to bring to the table and to make palatable very difficult concepts is brilliant.

However, on an election forum, I can't believe he's getting so much support. On the election integrity issue he's been the inverse of brilliant.

I've personally sent him a dozen letters trying to get him onboard to the reality, and though he did take one relucant stand, I still am unconvinced that people like him and Moveon and Kerry really do get it. Or are the purposefully ignorant or quiet for some strategic reason.

Am I missing something that he's done for the election integrity cause?
