Worker activist Michael Westfall remains defiant of the AFL-CIO union after signing a petition circulated in the United States by the American Family Association that calls upon the labor giant to forego its opposition to a proposed amendment of the US federal constitution that would define marriage as being solely between one man and one woman.

Is the Hollywood crowd wising up, or has Moore worn out his welcome? With characteristic zeal, Moore campaigned vigorously for a Best Picture nomination. "He was at every Oscar party and screening," said Moore's former manager Douglas Urbanski, a critically acclaimed 25-year veteran...

Prior to "Roger and Me" Moore was a writer of a small magazine in Davison Michigan. It has been said Moore became confused with what his role was as a writer and the role of the actual Flint activist workers he saw , so he decided to become the " Flint Don Quixote" and subject of his own story to see if America would believe it...and they did.
