Casino Jack and the United States of Money
I've just seen "Casino Jack and the United States of Money" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1540814 /

If there were a way I could print copies of the DVD and and hand them out on the street without going to jail I would do it.

Please see it.

Text below taken from netflix:

Documentarian Alex Gibney (Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room) turns his acute focus on convicted Washington lobbyist Jack Abramoff, reproaching him and other legislators for their negative impact on U.S. politics. Gibney's film plays less like a dry treatise and more like a high-stakes political thriller, fearlessly examining the ways American policies and political processes are undermined by an endless quest for power.

2. Jack Abramoff currently works for Tov Pizzeria in Baltimore
You can drop in, and laugh at his face.

He's the one that's washing the dishes, not making the pizza.

You can recognize him with his famous scowl.

3. Did Ralph Reed and Grover Norquist co-star?
More people should know they're all capos in a certain crime family.

Excellent idea for distribution on the streets, pgodbold. I got the same feeling with a book, "JFK and the Unspeakable: Why He Died and Why It Matters" by James Douglass.
