Hands Off Michael Moore (Petiton)
Hands Off Michael Moore! Lift Travel Restrictions on Americans
http://www.petitiononline.com/sicko

To: Bush Administration, U.S. Justice Dept, & U.S. Congress

Michael Moore found out during an appearance on the Jay Leno show on July 26 that he has been subpoenaed by the Bush Administration. The subpoena regards Michael's trip to Cuba while filming SiCKO, where he takes 9-11 rescue workers to get needed medical care denied to them in the U.S. It was provided to them free of charge in Cuba.

We call on the Bush Administration & the U.S. Justice Department to immediately cease any & all investigations & any possible prosecution of Michael Moore.

We also call on Congress to change the laws restricting Americans right to travel to Cuba if they so desire.

1. Why?
The more they investigate the more fatuous their claims become. Michael Moore went to Cuba? So what? Lots of people go to Cuba.

4. The New York Yankees did the same thing...
and all they had to do was pay a fine. I think the supoena further
proves how much power big corporations have in our government. Sicko
threatens the hell out of them.

Were the 9-11 workers supoenaed also?

5. He mentioned that he was protected under something to do with
journalism (whatever it was, I was on the fly and didn't catch it). They can't touch him, just aggravate him.

21. Americans can travel to Cuba
for diplomacy and/or artistic endeavor which includes journalism. I would assume his paperwork is in order.

7. I signed the petition and suggested that they spend their time
and resources going after the real criminals, i.e. Gonzales and Miers, Cheney and Bush, etc.

9. Like the bush administration is going to listen??
I say let them go after Michael Moore. The negative publicity will just aid SICKO ticket sales.

13. 2 from my household just signed, but why does it only show 129 signatures?
... I would have thought there were more. Do we need to recommend this, or perhaps it's one of many sites?

I'm probably already on the secret enemies list, right along with my phone records and e-mail records, etc., etc.

20. 18 annual Pastors for Peace Caravans
averaging 100 people. Let's say 50 of them are one-time-only caravanistas. That is 900 lawbreakers. I want them subpoenaed also!!! MM should not get special treatment.
