Dear activists, colleagues, and friends,
An amazing launch week for IRAQ FOR SALE: THE WAR PROFITEERS, with comments like this coming from all over the country, and all over the world:
Students arrive at the Murray State University screening organized by Penny Smith
Diana & Maryjo at the West Side Democratic Club screening in South Bend, Indiana

"The two friends I showed the film to are old die hard Republicans who have hated what George and neo-cons have done to this world. These last two years have been a big turn around for them, but seeing Iraq for Sale really changed them. It made them so mad. I cannot say enough about this movie." -Dorothy Walton, West Covina, California
"It's the perfect vehicle for people to approach their neighbors from opposite ends of the political spectrum. It transcends partisan politics. We were most impressed that it was a vehicle for dialogue rather than just preaching to the choir." - Sharon Heath, screening host in Los Angeles
"Around eighty students and professors showed up - which is a HUGE turn out for Murray!! The discussion afterward lasted over an hour. " -- Penny Smith, Murray State University Amnesty International
"IRAQ FOR SALE is a reminder of why it is patriotic to stand up against a broken policy, and why the blank check, rubber stamp Washington Republicans need to be fired for their incompetence and irresponsibility." - Sen. John Kerry
"Please tell as many of the people involved in making it that the soldiers over here appreciate the film and applaud you for making it. If there's more we can do we will do it. " - Sgt. Jon LaCore, U.S. Army
Over 4,000 screenings have been planned and more are coming in every day -- all made possible by you calling friends, emailing your lists, organizing events and spreading the word.
MoveOn members organized over 1500 Iraq the Vote screening parties where they watched the film and made over 200,000 calls to voters in their continuing volunteer phone banking efforts. Hundreds of groups, from Democracy for America to Amnesty International, from Campaign for Americas Future to Interfaith Center for Corporate Responsbility and Code Pink all had screenings.
Once again, you are all having a real and profound impact.
Now we need to increase our efforts with the elections approaching. This is an issue to hold each and every candidate accountable.
And to help do that, Brave New Films has created a wonderful new tool. Now you can buy 5 packs for $50, but instead of shipping them all to you, we'll ship them directly to five of your friends. NO MORE RE-SHIPPING. And to make it even easier, you don't even need to know their shipping address, just their email address. We'll just drop them an email letting them know you've purchased a gift for them! Hassle free. Even I, who am a tech neophyte can use it and enjoy it.
Get started here: http://iraqforsale.org/share.php
You can purchase DVDs for 2, 5, 30, 100, however many people you want. We know progressives have friends :) Give them a gift, share the gift and keep on spreading the word....
Robert Greenwald
and the entire Brave New Films team
P.S. We continue to make and post extended bonus scenes that aren't in the film. We have five of them on the Iraq for Sale website: http://iraqforsale.org/videos.php Watch and pass them around.
P.P.S. The Share-a-DVD tool is pretty powerful. If your organization would like to purchase DVDs to your members/employees (or just someone with an awful lot of friends), we can make that happen hassle free, just drop us a line.
