Dear MoveOn member,
Coming to a theater near you this weekend! A summer blockbuster
about...health care?
Michael Moore's new movie, Sicko, could put health care at the top of the
nation's political agenda--and we can help. If opening weekend is a
success, lots more people will go see Sicko. It's a great movie--poignant
at times, funny at others.
Can you pledge to see Sicko this weekend and bring your friends and family
along? The theater and showtimes near you are in the box on the right.
Click here to watch the movie trailer and sign up:
http://pol.moveon.org/sickopledge/?id=10633-8044979-PB2iIE&t=2
We'll report to the media the number of people who pledge to attend.
When you go see Sicko, you'll hear true stories like these:
* A middle-class couple with insurance move into their daughter's
basement after cancer forces them into bankruptcy.
* An American woman goes undercover in Canada in search of prescription
drugs for her illness.
* Richard Nixon's secret White House tapes reveal he decided to
authorize the first HMOs because "the less care they give them, the
more money they make."
* A doctor employed by an insurance company testifies before Congress
about letting a man die to save her company money--then getting a
promotion.
Like most of Michael Moore's movies, this one has a point of view. It's an
argument to change our failing health care system. And it comes just in
time.
The next president will have to take on health care. Several 2008
candidates--John Edwards, Dennis Kucinich, and Barack Obama--have plans to
guarantee affordable health care for everyone with a public insurance
option. These are the most forward-thinking proposals ever seen in a
presidential race.
But the HMOs, big health insurers, and drug companies are busy trying to
buy off White House hopefuls with lots of campaign cash. They want to keep
making billions by denying Americans affordable health care.
So after the movie, we'll ask presidential candidates to promise not to
take campaign money from any of the industry's PACs, lobbyists, or
executives. And to turn up the heat, we'll pass out fliers to movie-goers
encouraging them to call up their favorite candidate.
Not one more person should suffer or die because our leaders won't stand
up to the companies at the root of our health care problems.
Please pledge to see Sicko this weekend--a fun way to fight for affordable
health care for everyone. The theater and showtimes are below. Just click

500 Nichols Road Kansas City, MO
Phone: (816)756-5833
Friday: (12:45 PM), (2:15 PM), (3:45 PM), (5:10 PM), 6:45 PM, 8:00 PM, 9:45 PM
Saturday: (12:45 PM), (2:15 PM), (3:45 PM), (5:10 PM), 6:45 PM, 8:00 PM, 9:45 PM

And if you can, pass out fliers after the movie to keep the health care
industry's money out of the next White House, so we can win affordable
health care for everyone. The fliers are co-sponsored by our friends at
the Campaign for America's Future and Public Campaign Action Fund.
Thank you for all you do.

P.S. Are you a nurse? Sicko's your movie. The California Nurses
Association/National Nurses Organizing Committee and 25 activist nurse
groups around the country are co-hosting premieres and events to help turn
movie-goers into health care activists. Click here to find out how you can
join the special "Scrubs for Sicko" opening night outreach:
http://www.calnurse.org/sicko/premiere-sign-up-form.html
P.P.S. In case you're wondering, we never sell our list, and we never take
money to promote a campaign. This movie seems really important because of
the opportunity to change the way the country thinks about health care.
But we're not getting a dime from the film company.
