Michael Moore

[Posidon]

I saw a few posts pop up over the last week about getting some media attention through Mythbusters and Penn and Teller. So why not Michael Moore?

I contacted him about getting us heard. Heres a link to his contact page.

Welcome to MichaelMoore.com

Hi Posidon,

I am an actor here in Michigan. I put out the word to my friends in the acting community that I needed to speak to him directly. A film director friend of mine gave me the email addresses of his assistant and also one of his business associates.
I can't, and won't, share that info for obvious reasons. I will however forward a carefully worded plea by someone within CASAA.

Well I would say why not ask Leo Di. Help us all out? He's a very active vapor and is very open about it.

I posted a message for Kristin also.

What has to be presented is a valid, precise and accurate proposal of the facts surrounding this whole issue. Written professionally and with as much candor as possible.

Also a list of Health Professionals that are pro-PV with contact info would be great for Michael to follow up with.

All references should be cited.

Retracted, due to lack of information.

You sure that Moore is the right guy for the job? There are a lot of people out there that hate that guy or, in the least, wouldn't believe him if he said water was wet. Guy like him attached to e-cigs could do more harm than good. I remember there being a lot of heated arguments on a previous thread about him.

I tend to agree with tinstar. I'm not so sure if Micheal Moore is the person we would want to represent the cause. He has a rep for twisting the facts. It would probably do more harm than good. We need a spokesperson that's legit and above reproach, but I'll admit I'm at a loss as to who that should be.

Of course people hate him. He tackles controversial subjects. The only people that hate him are the ones getting their nose bloodied.

We could just sit around doing nothing and have the anti-electronic cigarette lobby get to him first. Then you can have another reason to hate him, yes.

Not that I really need much to loath Michael Moore, who is obviously a horrible self-publicist who turns everything he touches to poison.

But this interview really crystalizes what's wrong with the man. You think he wants to help us after reading this?

Moore dismissed criticism over his purchase of a million-dollar home. "I'm a millionaire, I'm a multi-millionaire," he proclaimed. "I'm filthy rich. You know why I'm a multi-millionaire? 'Cause multi-millions like what I do. That's pretty good, isn't it? There's millions that believe in what I do. Pretty cool, huh?"

.....

Moore seemed to embrace capitalistic Darwinism. "If the small businesses suck they'll be driven out of business," he said. "If they got a good restaurant, people will go there and eat. You know in my town the small businesses that everyone wanted to protect? They were the people that supported all the right-wing groups. They were the Republicans in the town, they were in the Kiwanas, the Chamber of Commerce - people that kept the town all white. The small hardware salesman, the small clothing store salespersons, Jesse the Barber who signed his name three different times on three different petitions to recall me from the school board. xxxx all these small businesses - xxxx 'em all! Bring in the chains. The small businesspeople are the rednecks that run the town and suppress the people. xxxx 'em all. That's how I feel."

Nasty and weird is what Michael Moore is.

Thanks SmokeyJoe, You are absolutely right.

I'm going to go stock up on some more supplies from China for the inevitable ban in the United States on electronic cigarettes. Hopefully I will have weaned myself off nicotine by that time.

This fight has already been lost.
