>September 19, 2000

>Dear Friends,
>
>I will be appearing with Ralph Nader at a number of
>events in the Midwest this week and, if you're in the
>area, I'd like to invite you to join us.
>
>-  On Wednesday, September 20, we'll be at the
>University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee from 1:00pm to
>2:00pm in the Wisconsin Room.  Admission is free.
>
>-  Also on Wednesday, Ralph and I will speak in
>Madison on the campus of the University of Wisconsin
>from 7:00pm to 10:00pm at the Orpheum (216 State St.).
>This one is a fundraiser so the "donation" is $10.00.
>
>-  On Thursday, September 21, it's the Michigan Tour
>day.  First, a stop in Ann Arbor at the Michigan Theatre
>at 12:30pm.
>
>-  Then it's on to Flint!  The big rally in my hometown
>will take place at Whiting Auditorium at 5:00pm.  I
>WANT TO SEE ALL MY FELLOW FLINTOIDS
>AND FLINTSTONES JAMMIN' THAT PLACE TO
>THE RAFTERS!  Phil Donahue, the co-chair of Ralph's
>campaign, is coming to Flint with us (he will also appear
>on the rest of the tour).  Whiting Auditorium is the site
>of the two shows Phil did in Flint with me after "Roger
>& Me" was released.
>
>To speak on a stage in Flint for the first time with the
>pre-eminent critic of General Motors is an honor I am
>looking forward to.  Please join me at 5:00pm this
>Thursday in Flint.  Admission is free on a first-come
>basis.
>
>-  On Thursday evening, Ralph, Phil and I will speak
>at Michigan State in their main auditorium sometime after
>7:00pm.  There is no charge.
>
>-  This Friday, September 22, there will be a massive rally
>in Minneapolis at the Target Center with all of us in
>attendance.  Over 10,000 people are expected.
>
>Ralph has been pulling enormous crowds wherever he
>speaks.  Over 10,000 paid $7 each to hear him in
>Portland (2,000 were turned away).  Neither Bush nor
>Gore have had a crowd this size come to any of their
>events -- including their own conventions!
>
>When Gore came to Flint on Labor Day, late in the
>evening, he could barely get a few hundred to show
>up -- in the capital of American Labor!  In fact, in
>order to guarantee an audience, they took Gore to
>the city hospital to speak.  That is definitely one place
>where you have a captive audience -- bedridden
>and medicated is perhaps the best way to listen to
>our vice president!
>
>So, please -- come out and let the country see
>that there are millions who want a real choice on
>the ballot and REAL change in the country.  Even
>if you haven't yet decided to vote for Ralph, I'm
>sure you know how important it is to keep
>Bush/Gore's feet to the fire.
>
>Yours,
>Michael Moore
