FW: The Movie the White House Doesn't Want You to See
So, after having received the following email from MoveOn.org, I decided it
was time to get off of their mailing list. I mean, really. "The Movie the White House Doesn't Want You to See"? Could you guys be any more pathetic? -----Original Message----- From: Peter Schurman, MoveOn.org [mailto:moveon-help@list.moveon.org] Sent: Wednesday, May 12, 2004 5:33 PM To: Gus Dahlberg Subject: The Movie the White House Doesn't Want You to See Dear MoveOn member, On Memorial Day weekend, Hollywood is releasing a summer blockbuster movie that's making the Bush administration very nervous. In fact, they'd rather you didn't see it at all. Why? Because it's a disaster movie about global warming. While "The Day After Tomorrow" is more science fiction than science fact, everyone will be talking about it -- and asking "Could it really happen?" This is an unprecedented opportunity to talk to millions of Americans about the real dangers of global warming and expose President Bush's foot-dragging on the issue. It's also a fun movie to see with friends over the holiday weekend. So here's the plan: On Memorial Day weekend, grab a few friends and go see "The Day After Tomorrow" -- the movie the White House doesn't want you to see. At the theater, meet up with other MoveOn members to give out flyers that explain, in everyday language, what causes global warming, how Bush's environmental policies could lead us into a real-life climate crisis, and what we can do together to meet this challenge. Join in today at: http://www.moveon.org/dayafter/ Please also sign our petition calling on Bush and Congress to prevent a climate crisis, at: http://www.moveon.org/climatecrisis/ ...Sincerely, --Carrie, Joan, Noah, Peter, and Wes The MoveOn.org Team May 12th, 2004 P.S.: You can see the movie trailer at: http://www.dayaftertomorrowmovie.com/ ### PS. IT'S. A. MOVIE. JURASSIC PARK was more science fiction than science fact, but I don't recall a petition to get the White House to pay attention to the possibility that frickin' dinosaurs could walk the earth again. Get over yourselves.
