Dear friends,

Whew – been a busy month! So busy, that July's newsletter has become an August one. But it's worth the wait! I've got some exciting news and, as usual, a special discount for newsletter subscribers.

In my grandfather's spirit, here's dessert first:

The Big Buy: Tom DeLay's Stolen Congress, by Mark Birnbaum and Jim Schirmbeck, is a wonderfully crafted look at the conniving by Tom DeLay to create a Congressional majority by screwing with Texas state politics, and at prosecutor Ronnie Earle's quest for DeLay's conviction. It's a fantastic insight into the ethically-challenged back room machinations that define neo-con power politics.

I oversaw the 18-city theatrical distribution of The Big Buy, and now I'm running the theatrical on two more great films that will be in theatres soon. The first is the 2006 Sundance winner for Best Documentary, American Blackout, by Guerilla News Network's Ian Inaba. It uncovers the smarmy tactics employed by strategists on the Right to systematically disenfranchise Black voters in Florida in '00, Georgia in '02, and Ohio in '04., and follows Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney's journey in particular. It opens in Atlanta this Friday, and widens a few weeks later.

After that, comes the next incendiary doc from the tireless Robert Greenwald, called Iraq For Sale: The War Profiteers, which opens in NY and LA on Sept.. 8, and widens thereafter. Iraq For Sale blows the lid off of the brash theft and jaw-dropping negligence committed by private contracting companies like Halliburton and Blackwater, and the plight of American families who suffer as a result of those companies' shirked responsibilities.

Keep an eye out for these films in your local arthouse theatres!

As always, thanks for your letters, suggestions, and support. Keep'em coming!
