Robert Greenwald to testify before Congress needs help ( Iraq for Sale)!!!!!!

[IChing]

From his blogg:


Testifying before Congress
I got the message on voice mail and played it back twice -- I couldn't quite believe what I was hearing. It was an invitation to come to D.C. and testify about outsourcing to the Defense Subcommittee of the House Appropriations Committee this coming Thursday, May 10th. Amazing! How far IRAQ FOR SALE has come! Who would have thought just one year ago when we sent the letter, not sure if the film would or could happen...and now... Congress here we come!

I will have the chance to distribute 5 minutes of the film to all the committee members. Please help me figure out which clips to use, and if you have any other ideas or suggestions for my testimony, post them in the comments... quick!

Robert Greenwald:
Filmmaker and political activist Robert Greenwald is the director/producer of "Iraq for Sale: The War Profiteers" (2006), an expose of what happens when corporations go to war; as well as "Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price" (2005), detailing the retail giant's assault on families and American values; and "Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism" (2004), about the right-wing opinion factory known as Fox "News." Millions of viewers have seen these films via grassroots "house parties" and independent online DVD sales, a groundbreaking method of alternative distribution.

Greenwald also executive produced a trilogy of political documentaries: "Unprecedented: The 2000 Election" (2002); "Uncovered: The War on Iraq" (2003), which he also directed; and "Unconstitutional" (2004).

The filmmaker's latest undertaking, a series of short viral videos, includes "Fox Attacks: Obama" and "The Real McCain," which were seen online by more than 700,000 people within weeks of distribution.

8. The thing is he is called to testify

see his films and show it to your friends
and if you have, send him a message
on the cuts you would like congress
to see.

I'm sure he knows the facts
if the right questions are asked.

9. Anything about the wasted money...

..in Iraq will get through to fiscal conservatives. The part about expensive trucks and vehicles breaking down and being 'ditched' and new ones ordered...as a matter of regular practice (because of no parts or people to fix them). How embarrassing is that to those who designed this war...


But the entire film is great! I'm glad he is testifying.
