F9-11 and 2 new converts
I have been talking the film up to all my friends and it seems 2 have decided to vote this year. Both are women, 50 and 21 respectively. The older lady has never voted before, but now she says she sees why it is so important. The younger says she hated Clinton and always thought Bush was fine. After the film, she says she cannot look at the Shrub. One is in IL, the other WI. The battle will be won one vote at a time....

1. Excellent!
But I have to wonder at a 50 year old who has never voted. Sheesh.

7. There are so many of them
in the 40-50's who just stay away from politics since they can't follow it. The 50 yr old described it like soccer...lots of running around, jockeying for position, but no one hardly ever scores. But she says she is committed to get involved, if only for this election.

Good for you.
We all need to reach out personally to people we know. That's how this election will be won.

5. Good job! It doesn't hurt or cost anything to talk about it, I have been
trying to do it whenever possible.

We talked some inlaws into seeing it and they reported tonight they were chastised by other family members: 'Don't see that movie! It's propaganda!!!'

Of course, these folks had not seen F 9/11, just had heard it was propaganda from their favorite propaganda outlet, Fox.

Anyway, the two filmgoers are now convinced bush needs to go! We're sending them a copy of Outfoxed next!
