Michael Moore: Make SiCKO anAgent of Change!

Michael Moore: Make SiCKO anAgent of Change! Watch the Movie TrailerThen Sign the Petition


Dear Supporter,

With over 45 million people uninsured and health care costs sometimes double what people pay in other countries, we still lead the way as the only industrialized county without a universal coverage system.

Isn't it time to fix the health care crisis in America?

In SiCKO, my new documentary opening in theaters nationwide tomorrow, June 29, I expose the truth about health care in America and audiences are already standing up and demanding change.

I love the hard work Democracy for America members do. You are the boots on the ground working for progressive change year after year. You understand that when we get local and speak up, there is no stopping our movement. And now that the entire insurance industry is working in overdrive to confuse the facts and keep Congress from enacting any health care reforms, I know I can count on DFA to fight back and get the job done.

Please sign the petition demanding health care for America right now:

In SiCKO, I highlight numerous health care horror stories (you can watch the trailer at the above petition link). Real events that happened to real people. And to make it worse, they all had health care. Our system is broken. The change we need isn't going to come from little tweaks and lobbyist funded think tanks. Real change will come from you and me working together, telling our stories, and demanding action.

That's why Congress needs to hear from you. How has the health care crisis affected you and your family? Do you have a health care horror story? Sign the petition demanding health care for all Americans and share your story. While you're at it, watch the trailer for SiCKO and search for a screening with other DFA members near you.

The petition is only the beginning. Over the rest of summer, DFA members will organize health care forums in their local community, hold meetings with their Congressional representatives, and keep the pressure on the Democratic candidates for president. I'm proud to have Democracy for America members turning my movie into an agent for change. Thank you for making it happen!

Alright, now go get some popcorn and meet me at the multiplex.

Be well,

Michael Moore
