Right now, there are 2,308 parties planned.

On the evening of December 7th, 2003, thousands of people around the country will gather to watch and discuss the new documentary Uncovered: The Whole Truth about the Iraq War. Together, we'll strengthen the MoveOn community, get the truth out, and raise some money to make sure that people in key battleground states know the real story about how we went to war.

[MikalM]

Am I the only one who noted these leftist *kaffeklatches* are being held on the 62nd anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attack?

[Mercat]

There's one in Lawrence, at the Holiday Inn. Haha.. some house party

[shaggy eel]

,,, terrorism needn't be a global thing while you have democraps in your neighbourhood. Think pizza without the base! All your toppings are belong to them.

[Miss Marple]

Heheheh. Move to Indiana. I live just south of Indianapolis and there are only 4 parties within a 20-mile area. I love my state!

[Vermonter]

I'm amazed how few I could find in Vermont within 30 miles of my old home

For all who doesn't know, MoveOn is CLOSELY affiliated with CPUSA. How close is Joe Wilson affiliated? I think that implies a lot.

Here is the email:

Dear MoveOn member,
This Sunday, December 7th, over 2,000 MoveOn members are hosting house parties to screen the new documentary Uncovered: The Whole Truth about the Iraq War. Some of these folks are opening up their homes to other MoveOn members, and you’re invited to attend. You can find a public party in your area and sign up at:

This'll be fun, but it's also really important. Here's a statement from Ambassador Joe Wilson, the man whose wife’s cover as a CIA agent was blown by the White House. Ambassador Wilson, who served as ambassador to Iraq before the first Gulf War, also helped to expose the truth behind the President’s famous assertion that Iraq was seeking uranium in Africa. Here’s why he thinks Uncovered is such an important movie:


War is a blunt instrument reserved for those instances when other, less violent actions cannot achieve our national security goals. In the case of Iraq, as you will see in Uncovered, those other actions were working very well. We did not need to go to war to meet the objectives set forth by the President and the international community in UN Security Council resolution 1441. Intrusive inspections were working just fine.
Going to war with Iraq has not made us safer. On the contrary, there are now several hundred million Muslims who hate us. We are now seen by a world that only two years ago stood by our side, as one of the greatest threats to international peace. 130,000 Americans are sitting ducks in Iraq, being picked off one or two a day, while the Iraqi population becomes more and more hostile to our occupation. And this war of choice on Iraq has kept us from finishing the job in Afghanistan against Al Qaeda and the Taliban.

Uncovered very effectively deconstructs the case for war with Iraq, pointing out the lies and flimsy evidence that underpinned the justification. It is an important work because it goes directly to the credibility of this administration. You will come away wondering whether George W. Bush and his team are worthy of our trust or support. I know where I come down on that question. Others will benefit from this documentary in reaching their own conclusions.

To find a house party to screen Uncovered in your area, just go to:

We hope you can make it. Have fun!

Sincerely,
--Carrie, Eli, James, Joan, Noah, Peter, Wes, and Zack

Sort of a juvinile delinquent /biological warfare kind of thing, huh?

[shaggy eel]

,,, yeah, living art. Call it "Rejection of consumerism 2003" and place it on the neighbour's lounge floor [applies to Democrats only]. We've had wars before. They've been fought and won and we read about them in books. At neighbourhood level we can voice disapproval for the low price of $9,99 "delivered".

Where's the barf alert??

[ladyinred]

There are three in my immediate area. Two of them are at the state university. Why am I not surprised? The one in the home suggests bringing some munchies. Sheesh!

[mrsmith]

Lol! 27 kids at VCU.

In the dictionary under "lame" has to be a list of Moveon members.

Small television, messy house, but hey, I have the video! C'mon over to watch it, and maybe talk about Peace in the Precincts afterwards.

PS Make sure your car alarm is set.

Thanks for the ping Calpernia. Seeing as how I've got a short fuse sometimes and I'm not that great at debating I'm going to have to pass on the infiltration thing.

I did hit the site. There's on going on right in my town, 5 going on within 20 miles of my home.

[appalachian_dweller]

on = one

Heh. Wanna ride north with me, into the belly of the beast?

Full or not, I say we get a bunch of people and crash the party ;)

[axel f]

I wanna puke just hearing about this. I quit reading the description after the first lie I read. I don't think I could stomach a room full of commies.

So someone on the CJonline forum is doing this in Topeka? Gee, I'm stunned!

[Calpernia]

I'm not 100% supportive of infiltrating. I think we all realize that this group is being monitored. Remember the articles? FBI starting to watch the anti war supporters? I would not want to be affiliated with this group.

Now counter freeps or nosying in on their email distributions, fine. Attending one of their closed session meetings....no.

[BillF]

Last month, DC Chapter FReeped the Move On group that can't move on.

Soreloserman Algore was their speaker.
