and students circulating a petition to recall the decision to host Moore and the student body officers who invited him have enough signatures to get a recall election. Burried in the article. Good work guys!

PING!

We need to find out who the major donors are and contact them (especially if anyone does business with them). Folks in Utah County/UVSC - please help with this.

Now watch: the Leftists will call the decision to un-invite Moore "CENSORSHIP!" But these are the same sorts of jackwits who think it's perfectly legitimate to un-invite the First Lady of the United States of America because they don't like her husband's stand on the Second Amendment.

"I do not have a vote or a voice at UVSC — and probably do not deserve one — but we live in a society where we have the constitutional right as free Americans to voice our opinion," Wing said. "We can vote with our voice, we can vote with our feet and we can vote with our pocketbooks, and I have decided to vote against this man coming to UVSC in the only manner I know how."

More good work.

Tell Mr. Moore if he wants to promote his movies on that campus, he should be required to pay for it, like any advertiser. He should not be paid anything to appear; but should be allowed to speak about anything he wants, as long as students opposed to his point of view don't have to pay for it.

[Cicero]

Unbelievable. A $40,000 speaker's fee to a jerk who has gotten rich by lying to people who don't know any better than to buy tickets to his propaganda films.

Michael Moore is laughing all the way to the bank. A bunch of poor students have paid to make him even richer.

[T Minus Four]

Sigh. America's ever-diminishing short attention span.

Well, when we get a week out, maybe we'll get it ramped up again.

Great news from Virginia -- Michael Moore's $35,000 speech at George Mason U. (a state school) slated for October has been CANCELLED. Apparently, it had not been advertised yet, but word got out an folks started contacting their legislators, and two "conservative" legislators contacted the school president..and VOILA, it was deemed unwise to use state funds for what is essentially a political speech this close to an election. Whew! That was a close one.

[T Minus Four]

That is good news.

[KiloLima]

This guy should be standing on a soapbox in central park, getting "paid" with rotten tomatoes.

He raked in -- what? -- 100 or 200 million dollars with that malicious propaganda crap, and he's charging 5 figures to speak? Doesn't sound like "free speech" to me, maggot!

[batter]

We need to start getting organized now.

JPJones and redrock - are you familiar with UVSC? If so, what would be good meeting spot and time (I think Moore is speaking at noon) for the rally?

We'll want to meet a bit early so all the freepers/lurkers can find each other and go to the rally as a group.

I will also e-mail Vreeland and Wright to see what they have organized for the rally.

Lastly, Utah Binger is looking for some files (preferably PDF) to print a bunch of 11X17 signs. Does anyone have contacts/link for sign files?
Also plan on bringing your own sign so that we can give Utah Binger's signs to those who turn up without one.

Don't forget to bring your flag to wave proudly.

what sort of signs?

[VOA]

After two weeks of tempest, the storm of controversy swirling around Michael Moore's
much-debated, much-anticipated appearance at Utah Valley State College
appears to be waning

Note to Deseret News:
I can believe CBS News, the NY Times and other liberal rags discounting
"bloggers in pajamas".

But it's something of hoot to see The Deseret News make the same mistake.

Let me put it this way, this ROBBERY of FORTY THOUSAND DOLLARS of student funds
for the dissemination of G-DLESS, LIBERAL LIES in order to enrich a
FAT, UGLY bit of contagion from outside of G-D's COUNTRY, UTAH ain't gonna disappear
until freepers quit bumping this and other threads about this pornographic theft.

[T Minus Four]

Hers's a useful link: How are big protest signs made?

[VOA]

the student government's decision to pay Moore
$40,000 of student fees to speak Oct. 20.

Here is a
"Michael Moore Gets Rich Off The Tuition You Pay For Your Kid" BUMP!

[batter]

We would like to stick with signs of support for our troops, country, and president.

[batter]

Thanks. I think Binger only has access to 11X17 sheets and was planning on just making a bunch of those signs. However, you may wish to contact him about pasting them into something larger...

Also, who's a good freeper to contact on signs - I was thinking of one of the D.C. chapter freepers as they have done a bunch of rallies and figure they may have something 'on hand'. Any idea who's involved in the D.C. chapter?

[Issaquahking]

You have freep mail. Would like to see a large turn out for a GOOD FREEP!
