Michael Moore's latest movie...
SiCKO
is out on DVD!
A number of local and chain bookstores ran out of the "SiCKO" DVD early on the day of its release. Barnes & Noble at the Del Amo Mall had ordered only seven copies! So please go to your local bookstore and ask them to re-stock "SiCKO!" This is a very important movie that puts the lie to big media's portrayal of the American health care system. If everyone sees this film we will be able to create a REAL Universal Health Care system in the U.S.A.! Please recommend that all your friends and relatives buy, rent or get together and watch "SiCKO!"
Besides being full of pathos and humor
"SiCKO" pointedly demonstrates how
lobbyists control the U.S. Congress
and now Presidential candidates
(and California Governors, for that matter)
and how they have destroyed the
American health care system.
Get information about the current Universal Health Care bills, on SB 840 here & on HR 676 here!
