i have been waiting almost a year for this movie to come out. it is made by the guys that publish the investment newsletters i read. it is about the economy being a mess and i always hoped it would have come out earlier because i think it would have helped rp get some votes. the movie was invited to show at sundance and won some awards there as well. some of their predictions came to start happening so parts of it have been re-shot and the current version has just been completed. they have been wondering how to distribute the movie, but pete peterson (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_George_Peterson) has purchased the movie for his new foundation which is striving to spread the message and has a billion dollars behind it. so the movie has gone from being in maybe 6 theaters to now over 400, but is currently set for only a one time showing. it will be shown august 21st (thursday) at 7pm cst. after the movie there will be a live simulcast interview/panel with warren buffet, pete peterson, and david walker - formerly basically the top accountant for the federal government.

the movie's website is here - http://www.iousathemovie.com/

you can watch a trailer here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBo2xQIWHiM

you can find theaters it is playing in here - http://www.fathomevents.com/details.aspx?eventid=728 - i'll be going in gurnee.

as a bonus if you buy your ticket online and forward a copy of the receipt to [email protected] you will get a free 1 yr subscription to this newsletter - http://www.agorafinancialpublications.com/THE_PUBS/DRI/Index.html as a note, i also have access to all of their other newsletters.

yes, it's a movie about economics - but it has great reviews and should be shot well enough to keep you interested, as their intent is to get their message across about real problems and to make the information consumable. i highly recommend attending the showing, i don't think you will regret it.

Ron Paul was in the trailer at least once, and maybe the voice saying "this system discourages people from saving" was him too, couldn't tell.
I suppose he may have a prominent role in this movie, like he did in freedom to fascism?

Sweet! It's playing in my town. This will be a great opportunity to reunite our meetup group.

When Pete G Peterson's foundation supports this movie, then that should set off some warning bells in your head.

Be careful with that group and their projects.

Wow -- The Agora Financial guys are backing this movie? Bill Bonner writes my favorite free newsletter "The Daily Reckoning".

I'd encourage all of you to to subscribe by the way --- Bonner is just amazing and right a terrific satirical/financial column each day. Agora guys also include the "Mogambo Guru" aka Richard Daughty.

what's that all about?

i dont care if he was chairman of the cfr or tight with rockefeller

i am using this event to promote campaign for liberty and i suggest yall hurry and start promoting it in your towns - finding one person and engaging that one person into the liberty movement just might be the one person we need.

Yeah, I do not see any benefit in staying away from this movie. If it is being put out by questionable people, that is even *more* reason to show up to provide real solutions, especially when you have materials related to someone from the movie.

If a CFR member said he was voting for Ron Paul I'm sure some here would reconsider Ron Paul as a result.

Maybe that could be arranged?

fixed sig. not affiliated, i do have a subscription to all agora products though. they have a daily blog and have been mentioning this movie for 10 months. i was hoping it would come out earlier to help bring people over to rp's side and wake up people who don't care or are economically ignorant. should be good.

they are not even trying to blame anyone, or even say exactly what to do going forward - they are trying hard just to say here is the problem and make you understand it. i'm sure this was tough to do as the movie is mostly republican/libertarian type guys. in any case agora made it, pete peterson just bought it. went from being in 6 theaters or something to over 400. he also donated a billion dollars to get this message out and hired david walker away from being the head comptroller of the government. david walker is certainly one of the good guys.
