Pilots on Food Stamps
(13 comments) You know, maybe it's just me, but the two occupations whose workers shouldn't be humpin' a second job are brain surgeons and airline pilots. Call me crazy.

Free Screenings Tonight of "Capitalism" for the Jobless and Homeless in America's Hardest Hit Cities
(1 comments) Of course,a free movie ain't much when what you really need is a job or a place to live.That's not going to change until the party that controls both the Congress and the WH wakes up and realizes the American people put them in charge to fix the mess created by the previous administration.For that to happen requires the active involvement of each of us.It's going to also require us to challenge some fundamental assumptions

"We the People" to "King of the World": "YOU'RE FIRED!"
(84 comments) This bold move has sent the heads of corporate America spinning and spewing pea soup. Obama has issued this edict: The government of, by, and for the people is in charge here, not big business. John McCain got it. On the floor of the Senate he asked, "What does this signal send to other corporations and financial institutions about whether the federal government will fire them as well? ...Am I next?"

Why I'm Not Now and Have Never Been the Democrats' "Rush Limbaugh"
(15 comments) What I have believed in, and what I have stood for in these past eight years -- an end to the war, establishing universal health care, closing Guantanamo and banning torture, making the rich pay more taxes and aggressively going after the corporate chiefs on Wall Street -- these are all things which the majority of Americans believe in too.

Senate to Middle Class: Drop Dead
(10 comments) These Senate vampires wanted blood. Blue collar blood. You see, they weren't opposed to the bailout because they believed in the free market or capitalism. No, they were opposed to the bailout because they're opposed to workers making a decent wage. In their rage, they were driven to destroy the backbone of this country, not because the UAW hadn't given back enough, but because the UAW hadn't given up.

Saving the Big 3 for You and Me ...a message from Michael Moore
(21 comments) Every single dollar Congress gives these three companies will be flushed right down the toilet. There is nothing the management teams of the Big 3 are going to do to convince people to go out during a recession and buy their big, gas-guzzling, inferior products. Just forget it. Buy the company and get it started building cars that are not oil dependent, plus trains, buses, subways and light rail.

Here's How to Fix the Wall Street Mess ...from Michael Moore
(5 comments) I would like to propose my own bailout plan. My suggestions, listed below, are predicated on the singular & simple belief that the rich must pull themselves up by their own platinum bootstraps. Sorry, fellows, but you drilled it into our heads one too many times: There... is... no... free... lunch. And thank you for encouraging us to hate people on welfare! So, there will be no handouts from us to you. Stop the senate tonight

Who Do We Vote For This Time Around? A Letter from Michael Moore
(31 comments) Do you feel the same as me? That the Democratic front-runners are a less-than-stellar group of candidates, and that none of them are the "slam dunk" we wish they were? Of course, there are wonderful things about each of them. Any one of them would be infinitely better than what we have now.

"Sicko" Already in Top 5 Grossing Documentaries of all Time!
And, to show my thanks to all of you who'll go see "Sicko" this weekend, I'm going to send one of you and a guest on a free weekend to the universal health care country of your choice! That's right. You'll get to pick one of the three industrialized countries featured in the movie where, if you get sick, you get help for free, no matter who you are.

SiCKO's Impact
(2 comments) We're here today to discuss the impact SiCKO is having on the health care debate in this country. To date, we have appeared in Congress to discuss the need to get rid of private health insurance. We testified before the legislature in California in support of a reform effort to protect Californians from for-profit health insurance. We have done events with mayors, with leading members of Congress, on Wall Street...

(1 comments) An employee who works at Capital BlueCross has sent us a confidential memo written and circulated by its Vice President of Corporate Communications.His job,it seems,was to go and watch "Sicko,"observe the audience's reaction,and then suggest a plan of action for how to deal with the movie...a fascinating look at how one health care company views "Sicko" and what it fears its larger impact will be on the public.

Bush Administration Goes After SiCKO
(25 comments) I know you all are aware of the controversy surrounding my recent trip to Cuba with a group of 9/11 heroes for my upcoming movie SiCKO and the subsequent letter I received from the Treasury Department letting me know I'm now being investigated. Well, I would like to take this opportunity to share with you my letter to Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson. I just put it in the mail this morning...

Cut and Run, the Only Brave Thing to Do
(11 comments) Tomorrow marks the day that we will have been in Iraq longer than we were in all of World War II. That's right. We were able to defeat all of Nazi Germany, Mussolini, and the entire Japanese empire in LESS time than it's taken the world's only superpower to secure the road from the airport to downtown Baghdad. And we haven't even done THAT...

A Liberal's Pledge to Disheartened Conservatives
(3 comments) cheer up, my friends! Do not despair. I have good news for you. I, and the millions of others who are now in charge with our Democratic Congress, have a pledge we would like to make to you, a list of promises that we offer you because we value you as our fellow Americans. You deserve to know what we plan to do with our newfound power -- and, to be specific, what we will do to you and for you.

It's All About Who You Sleep With ... a Cautionary Note from Michael Moore
(2 comments) Let the resounding defeat of Senator Joe Lieberman send a cold shiver down the spine of every Democrat who supported the invasion of Iraq and who continues to support, in any way, this senseless, immoral, unwinnable war.

(2 comments) I would like to extend my hand and invite you to join us, the mainstream American majority. We, the people -- that's the majority of the people -- share these majority opinions:

Any idea where all our helicopters are?
