My hope is the film reaches out to people who are not aware or engaged in this important issue. I couldn’t agree more but we need a lot more voices to effect any change.

Politicians are forced to by expensive advertisement that only seek to influence !0-15% of undecided or independent voters.Even this figure of undecided I think is inflated. These ads, which usually are negative, serve to discourage actual voters. I feel the airwaves belong to the people. The FCC should be forced to provide free advertisement or let public financing pay a reduce rate for advertisement. This can and should be put in the form of legislation. When and if Obama is elected, we should press to have such legislation inacted. On second thought we don't even have to wait for Obama to be elected. This process can start now.
