No one can make a documentary with as much political savvy, humor, and creativity as Michael Moore. And no one is as willing to tackle our elected officials with the same tenacity. After unleashing Bowling for Columbine, Fahrenheit 9/11, and SiCKO in recent years, Moore has set his sights on the Bush administration and our nation's voter turnout in his latest film, Slacker Uprising, which chronicles his 62-city swing state tour of college campuses just prior to the 2004 election.
Here's the best part. To maximize the reach of his message and as a thank you gift to his fans, Moore is adopting a novel approach to distributing this film. He's teaming up with Brave New Films to distribute the movie online, completely free of charge. Sign up now on http://slackeruprising.com and you will be notified when the film is available for free download on September 23.
You can also buy the DVD for $9.95, which will start shipping on September 23 and features extras like: Special Guest Joan Baez – America the Beautiful, Why People Like George Bush?, My Pet Goat, The O'Reilly Factor for Kids, Just Add Water and Heat – More Ramen and Clean Underwear, and more. Or should I say, Moore!
We share Moore's hope that this film will get people to vote in this election, just as Moore's 2004 tour sparked greater turnout. So go to http://slackeruprising.com now, spread the trailer around to your friends, and get inspired.

Our guest host, punk rock icon Henry Rollins, will be joined by bloggers Jonathan Kim (FOX Attacks!), Liliana Segura (AlterNet.org) and Paul Waldman (Media Matters).

You lib fucktards make me laugh!!!
At least I’m not an ignorant bigot.
Thanks.
Michael! A little spotlight please
on the cross the boards cover-up
of Red China’s awesome record of genocide
and support thereof around the world.
70,000,000 put to death —in peacetime!
Still going on too—
MAO The biography by Jung Chiang
Absolutely required reading for teh human race.
Hollywood and neo-cons both are diligently
dodging this confrontation with real-politic.
Just watch the documentary on Moore’s life ‘An American Carol’ coming to theatres next month. LMFAO!!!
Again, teeny tiny issue, we’re now asked
to eat the Red Chinese record with genocide
-that’s 70,000,000 –in peacetime folks!
for the sake of Wal-mart, Hollywood market
futures and the spiraling national trade
defecit and debt -which Red China now owns.
Now smile!
And you won’t even hear a peep about it
from Michael either.
$$$ad.
Gosh! –
-while some guys volunteered
-served and sacrificed –
Michael’s ‘poor’ UAW ‘workers’
have been pulling in a downsized
wage of 57 dollars —AN HOUR!
You know –
57 bucks an hour -making and driving
fat ass SUV’s and other stupid shit.
AND NOW –
the taxpayer is bailing them out
to the tune of 17 billion MORE
in Red Chinese ‘easy’ credit.
I guess it’s ‘easy’ till you start
thinking about Jefferson and Washington’s
portraits beign piled-up in Beijing
banks –right next to Mao’s as –
ANOTHER 2–3 milion are about to die
in that same ‘fave’ creditor’s neighbor
and client state of communist North Korea.
I mean –on top of that other 70 million
put to death by Mao himself.
—Bummer.
“Hey Honey! –you workin’ on that
nacho pile?”
xtv. you know it’s TRUE
