Hey Freddie -- Michael Moore needs the help of Democracy for America
members like you! He is recovering from a stay in the hospital, and he has
had to cancel many of his appearances to promote his powerful new film,
Where To Invade Next.

Read the following message from Michael Moore -- and help him promote his
film by pledging to go see it and tell your friends about it. Thank you!

Freddie --

I need your help.

As you may have heard, I spent last week in the intensive care unit with
pneumonia. Truth be told, it was pretty serious, and other complications
arose. But then, five days later, I was still alive -- thanks to a
combination of Directors Guild insurance, two I-V drips of allegedly legal
drugs, and a hospital TV that only got FOX News.

I was released on my own recognizance, which I tried to explain may not be
the best idea. I am now at home resting and binging on the Real Housewives
of The Walking Dead. All my appearances this week and last week supporting
the release of my brand new movie, Where To Invade Next (Conan, Bill
Maher, Charlie Rose, NPR, etc.), plus a special primary eve screening in
New Hampshire, were and are cancelled.

Needless to say, I'm pretty devastated. This film means a lot to me.

Many of you have asked if there's anything you can do to help me. I have
thought about it -- and, yes, actually, there is something you could do to
help me.

I need you to be part of a quickly cobbled-together "army" of grassroots
"ambassadors" who can do the work I was going to do this week to let
people know about the movie and convince as many as possible to go see it.

I realize you haven't seen Where To Invade Next, so I'm asking you to do
this based upon my past work and your hope that I've made a compelling
film that might affect change in this country, that will inspire people to
think about things in a different way. I believe that's exactly what I've
done, and many who've seen it agree.

Will you help me spread the word about my new movie? Click here to watch
the trailer for Where to Invade Next -- and then pledge to see it when it
opens on Friday, February 12!

I also believe this movie can have a huge impact on the elections this
year. It's won a bunch of film festival prizes, it's made the Oscars
shortlist, and some have called it my best film ever. Possibly, just
possibly.

Last week, laying in the hospital, I watched the presidential candidate
from Vermont get attacked for his ideas being "unrealistic," "pie in the
sky," and "ideas that sound good on paper, but aren't going to happen."
The truth is, all these great "ideas" -- free universal health care, free
university, free day care, taxing and policing hedge fund millionaires --
have already happened in nearly every other industrialized country in the
world!

And I have the evidence -- and the film -- to prove it! Throughout Where
To Invade Next, I invade a whole bunch of nefarious countries, from
Slovenia to Germany to France to Norway, and pry loose from them the tools
they've been using to make their countries happy, shiny places.

My goal: to show millions of Americans what these countries have been
hiding from us so we can catch up and be #1 again! Remember "WE'RE #1!!"?
Don't you miss being #1 and waving those big foam #1 fingers at patriotic
rallies? In my invasions, I don't use any weapons, and no one gets droned.
Instead, I show:

*	How to actually make all universities free (and great)
*	How to give all workers five to eight weeks PAID vacation (which
increases productivity and betters the economy)
*	How simple and easy it is to give mothers (or fathers) up to a year of
PAID maternity leave (which in turn benefits the company overall)
*	How in the societies where women have achieved true equality and power,
everything just seems to get better for everyone
*	How to reduce the crime rate by ending the war on drugs and having a
humane prison system (our recidivism rate is as high as 80%; theirs is
20%)
*	How the economy bounces back faster and is safer when bankers are put in
prison
*	How students in countries without standardized tests and needless
homework perform better than our students (and that countries which have
more arts and music in their schools do better in math and science)

...and on and on and on. By the end of the movie, you'll want to go live
in one of those countries. But instead, I'll show you how we can make all
of that happen right here in the USA, right now.

So, what do you think? Can you be a virtual ambassador for Where To Invade
Next? I know you can't go on "Good Morning America" for me, but you can
help right now from your computer or mobile device.

Want to watch the trailer? Click here to see it and then join our army by
pledging to see Where To Invade Next when it opens this Friday!

If a few thousand of you suddenly became champions and ambassadors for
Where To Invade Next, then maybe we can pull this off. I certainly would
be forever in your debt. Thanks for being there for me.

All my best,
Michael Moore
