Sorry, I've been far too busy to stop by much. I did want to alert you guys to something that I feel needs some action taken:

Traverse Bay Film Festival

As you’ve no doubt heard, In the Face of Evil will be showcased at the Traverse Bay Film Festival on July 29. This festival is a direct response to the continued assault on American values by uber-leftist Michael Moore. His plan to bring his film festival to Traverse City on the same weekend created quite a stir in the normally quiet town.

Incensed at the possibility of a Moore led, anti-American film festival in their home town, Traverse City residents organized a grass roots effort to counter Moore’s proaganda with a film festival of their own. Its called the Traverse Bay Freedom Film Festival.

Billed as a celebration of Faith, Family and Freedom, three of the lib’s most hated values, the festival is almost a lock to drive the leftists crazy.

The festival is organized by Jim Hubbard and Ellen Gard, the good folks who brought you the hugely successful American Film Renaissance, America’s first conservative film festival. We’re expecting a great turnout and look forward to the challenge of attempting to take back Hollywood, one film at a time.

We hope to see you there!

I'd like to point out that the Traverse Bay is not Traverse City, and that the organizers of the festival are from freakin' Texas.

I've volunteered to work at Michael Moore's festival and I really think something should be done about this reactionary shit.

Good ideas, Sky..

Also, Deborah, if your budget will allow it, you might ask the local television stations to do interviews at Michael's festival. Write letters to the editors of local newspapers, and basically let the people decide for themselves who is right and who is wrong.

This is an old strategy. When I was a child, one local Baptist church used to hold revivals at the same time as the local Folk School would hold their Square Dance Festival. The "visiting evangelist" at the revival would always insert something into his long and drawn out sermons that was negative about the dancing going on down at the Folk School.

The Folk School is a thriving institution, beloved around the world, to this very day. The evangelists? Nobody remembers their names, except perhaps those who have access to the church records. AND nobody is asking for those, as far as I know.

Good advice above. Please let us know how this turns out--I am sure the same thing will happen all around the nation. Good to have some idea of what is coming along and how to deal with it. Meanwhile, you are forging a trail...
