From Michael Moore:

For two months, we've sat and watched the rabid right achieve the
unimaginable: Derail universal health care and send the Democrats in
Congress running for cover. Many have asked, "How did this happen? How
could a small minority of angry people control the public agenda? Where
is the majority's response? Why the silence?"

I don't have the answers to all these questions. But I do know
this: I've had enough. As far as I'm concerned, Tea Bag Nation ends
today -- at noon to be precise. For that's when I set loose, on a
thousand screens across this great land, a movie I've made that's so
relentless, so dangerous, so damning in its humor, that it will -- I
can only hope -- do what no movie has done before: Take them down, take
them all down, once and for all.

The days of the majority of Americans being ignored and played
for chumps are over as of right now. This weekend, consider your local
cinema the REAL town hall meetings! Come and spend two hours with
hundreds of other people who are fed up and in need of a bit of
inspiration -- and a good hearty laugh at the expense of all the
S.O.B.s who've wrecked our economy and laid ruin to our democracy.

I'm personally inviting you to come see what many critics are
saying is my best film yet: "Capitalism: A Love Story." You will not be
disappointed. I will show you things and tell you things about how the
captains of corporate America have stolen our country from us. No one
on the nightly news is bringing these truths to you. Beginning at noon
today, I pull back the curtain and reveal who's responsible for the
calamity we're in. That's right -- I name names and I explain why this
economic system we have is nothing more than legalized greed, and Wall
Street is nothing more than a crime syndicate in suits. You will be
blown away by what you see, but you will not leave the theater in a pit
of despair. I'm counting on your response to be one of exhilaration and
determination. I've watched this movie in sneak previews with audiences
from Pittsburgh to L.A. and I've never seen more hooting and hollering
during a documentary in my life. There are actually standing O's during the movie! Weird. Cool. Down in front!

Please see "Capitalism: A Love Story" this weekend. Take a bunch of
friends and make it an event. Last weekend in New York and L.A. many
shows sold out (making "Capitalism" the biggest per screen average at
the box office for 2009), so get your tickets early. And if you get a
chance, send me a photo of what opening night looks like in your city and I'll post it on my website.

C'mon, friends -- RISE UP! This is our moment. And it comes with popcorn! Not bad!

Thank you so very much for all your support and encouragement over the years.

Yours,
Michael Moore
