One share of stock would be enough to do that. I guess that's not really his goal.
It needs to be made public, but in the other hand who cares?
He is a lying wretch of a person anyway. Will the maggot infested, dope smoking, anti-American supporters of his care; of course not. These people just make up their own ethics, whatever is ok, they just make it up as they go along.
I do not own Halliburton, my non-profit organization does.
I didn't shoot anyone, the gun did.
What's the difference?
Yes, but you only have to own ONE share to get to the shareholder meeting...that would make the statement...8,000 would be pushing it a bit.
What is his noble cause besides enriching himself -- and exploiting the good intentions of gullible people?
What are the expenditures on -- or is it just acting as a trust for accumulating assets without paying taxes on the profit derived from them?
A lot of liberals think everything they do is a charitable, non-profit undertaking -- worthy of non-profit status.
By the size of Moore, I think he may need 8,000 seats...
Maybe they can nail the guy for tax fraud.
That's the only thing they had on Al Capone and a lot of storied criminals in history.
There certainly seems to be no difference in Michael Moore the individual and his non-profit organization but a dummy organization to evade taxes.
Usually those people do, as he often does, threaten to sue you if you attempt to inquire more deeply into these matters.
Too funny. Maybe Cole has watched Team America too many times:

Thanks for the photograph .... now it all makes sense. I didn't realize it was an interspecies arrangement.
Good grief - there she is again!

Michael Moore is such a big fat liar (in more ways than one).
Hey....Quit insulting the maggots! At least they provide a valuable service to mankind. ha.
Michael Moore Denies He Owned Halliburton
Bush-bashing filmmaker Michael Moore is denying he ever owned stock in Halliburton Energy Services Company, the oil equipment giant once run by Vice President Dick Cheney that has become an anethma to left-wingers.
Speaking last week at the first annual Paul Wellstone Memorial Dinner in Washington, D.C., Moore claimed that the Halliburton allegation in Peter Schweizer's blocbuster new book "Do As I Say, [Not As I Do]," is "crazy." [Get your copy of this book with our FREE offer Go Here Now.]
"Michael Moore own Halliburton stock?" the anti-corporate lefty asked the crowd. "See, that's like a great comedy line. I know it's not true - I mean, I've never owned a share of stock in my life."
Moore protested: "Anybody who knows me knows that, you know - who's gonna believe that? Just crazy people are going to believe it - crazy people who tune into the Fox News Channel."
And maybe crazy people who can read with their own eyes the tax return for Mr. Moore's very own foundation - as reprinted in Schweizer's book.
The bestselling author reports: "Publicly, Moore claims that he doesn't invest in the stock market out of moral principle. Privately, he tells the IRS something completely different."
Schweizer explains how the widely acclaimed anti-corporatist set up a private foundation after his first major film, "Roger & Me," started making serious money.
In 1999, "the year Moore claimed in 'Stupid White Men' that he didn't own any stock, he reported to the IRS that his foundation had more than $280,000 in corporate stock and close to $100,000 in corporate bonds."
"And in perhaps the ultimate irony," notes Schweizer, "he also has owned shares in Halliburton. According to IRS filings, Moore sold Halliburton for a 15 percent profit and bought shares in Noble, Ford, General Electric" and other allegedly evil corporations.
Moore is currently working on a documentary attacking big pharmaceuticals. But Schweizer discovered that Moore's foundation holdings have "included such evil pharmaceutical and medical companies as Pfizer, Merck, Genzyme, Elan PLC, Eli Lilly, Becton Dickinson and Boston Scientific."
Schweizer continues: "Moore's supposedly nonexistent portfolio also includes big bad energy giants like Sunoco, Noble Energy, Schlumberger, Williams Companies, Transocean Sedco Forex and Anadarko, all firms that 'deplete irreplaceable fossil fuels in the name of profit' as he put it in 'Dude, Where's My Country?'
"Also on Moore's investment menu: defense contractors Honeywell, Boeing and Loral."
Does Moore share the stock proceeds of his "foundation" with charitable causes, you might ask?
Schweizer found that "for a man who by 2002 had a net worth in eight figures, he gave away a modest $36,000 through the foundation, much of it to his friends in the film business or tony cultural organizations that later provided him with venues to promote his books and film."
Moore's hypocrisy doesn't end with his financial holdings.
He has criticized the journalism industry and Hollywood for their lack of African-Americans in prominent positions, and in 1998 he said he personally wanted to hire minorities "who come from the working class."
In "Stupid White Men," he proclaimed his plans to "hire only black people."
But when Schweizer checked the senior credits for Moore's latest film "Fahrenheit 911," he found that of the movie's 14 producers, three editors, production manager and production coordinator, all 19 were white. So were all three cameramen and the two people who did the original music.
On "Bowling for Columbine," 13 of the 14 producers were white, as were the two executives in charge of production, the cameramen, the film editor and the music composer.
His show "TV Nation" had 13 producers, four film editors and 10 writers - but not a single African-American among them.
And as for Moore's insistence on portraying himself as "working class" and an "average Joe," Schweizer recounts this anecdote: "When Moore flew to London to visit people at the BBC or promote a film, he took the Concorde and stayed at the Ritz. But he also allegedly booked a room at a cheap hotel down the street where he could meet with journalists and pose as a ?man of humble circumstances.'"
Michael Moore, that's not "crazy" -- that's hypocrisy with a capital H!
