The phone calls/e-mails (Fahrenheit 9/11) are working!

If you haven't called or e-mailed your local theater about showing this movie... DO IT NOW! It works!

Knoxville, TN was finally added to the list! Woo Hoo! This is a heavily Repub area and I can't wait to see how badly this movie pisses them off!

There are a lot of Freepturds out there pressuring theaters not to show this film. We have to make a huge effort to make sure they don't succeed. I just sent out another batch of e-mails tonight! Please take a moment and help!

4. Note that most - if not all - of the cinema chains on that list...

...are now planning to show F911 - at least somewhere. So send thank yous to all of them - and if the one in your area isn't showing it in your area, encourage them to do so. Also, call the local cinema itself and leave a message (thank-you or please show this) for the manager.

IT WORKS!

5. Yes yes yes!

Momentum for the film is growing nationwide. The more the media focuses on the "controversy" aspect, the more people will want to see it. Theater owners aren't stupid. If we contact them, they will see dollar signs. Let's keep this ball rolling!

6. If you live in one of these states...

...it's especially important to call your local theater and its parent chain:

South Dakota
Montana
Wyoming
Idaho
Mississippi
West Virginia
Delaware

The movie is still not showing in any of those states.

(a fellow DUer) and I just finished e-mailing every person at every theatre chain on that list! We wrote different e-mails to each one. I encouraged them to "stand up for the American value of Free Speech", and to "not give in to those that want to take our rights as Americans away." Glad to hear it's working. ;-) Also, we received some POSITIVE e-mails back from a few theatres that we thanked for showing the the film!
