Iowa's first Dean Dozen candidate, the other day. He asked me to
send along his thanks. He's been getting contributions from
across Iowa and around the nation, which he credits to the attention he
has received because of the Dean Dozen endorsement.
John said that when you contrast the contributions he's getting with
those of his wealthy, Republican opponent, John is actually getting two
to three times the number of contributions, “all from good folks who
can see we are on the wrong track and want change for the entire
country, whether they live in this state or not. It really is an
amazing movement, and one that I'm proud to be a part of.”
Thanks
to a write-in campaign from activists and Kucitizens in the Pocahontas
area (and Blog for Iowa, too), and also thanks to the fact that Fridley
has banned “Fahrenheit 9/11” while at the same time it is the first
documentary ever to top the $100 million mark (yeah, Frid-buddy, tell
me THAT
decision was not politically motivated – that's a lot of ticket sales
to give
up to influence votes in favor of the junta), the Rialto Theatre in
Pocahontas has decided to show the film after all.
“Fahrenheit 9/11” will run at the Rialto Theatre in Pocahontas from August 20 through August 26.
It will play the same times as all other movies, 7:30 every evening with a 2pm Sunday matinee.
The
admission prices are $4 for adults and $2 for 12 and under. Of
course, F 9/11 is rated R, so the young'uns need to be accompanied by
an adult.
Sunday matinees are $2 for everyone. Thursday night is FREE popcorn with every paid admission.
The
Rialto Theatre holds 286 people. They are willing to hold special
private showings, too, that week if any group is interested, with a
flat rate of $200. If you are interested in doing something like
that, feel free to give the manager a call.
Her name is Tonya Speer, and you can reach her at 712-335-3434 or 712-335-5742. 324 N. Main.
