Gary Knecht sends this invitation.
Dear SONIC BOOM Subscriber,

Have you heard about Fahrenheit 9/11? It's Michael Moore's new movie, which opens Friday at the Grand Lake Theater. It won the grand prize at this year's Cannes Film Festival. It's an incredibly powerful film that lays bare the cynicism and greed behind Bush's war policy.
According to MoveOn, "around a million people will see Fahrenheit 9/11 when it opens this weekend. The film will leave them shocked, moved, and furious at the Bush administration's duplicity. And we have an opportunity to turn that anger into action. That's why next Monday, June 28th, we're organizing 'Turn Up the Heat', an evening of nationwide house parties that will culminate in a national online town meeting with Michael Moore. At more than a thousand parties across the country, we'll discuss Fahrenheit 9/11 with neighbors, hear Michael Moore and ask him questions about the film, and then plan local actions to win back the White House. It'll be a lot of fun -- meeting other members of MoveOn always is." And meeting your Jack London District neighbors is ALSO a lot of fun!
And according to Lou, "You should come! And, of course, there'll be snacks. So go see the movie this weekend, and, if you can, join the national town meeting [at my place on Monday]! You can sign up to join me below. I hope you'll come!"

The last line of Fahrenheit 9/11 -- at the end of the credits -- says "Do Something." And given the powerful footage in the movie, audiences will definitely be looking for something to do. By coming together at the house parties on Monday, we'll turn that energy into effective, election-winning action.
I hope to see you on Monday.
