**NOTE**
I changed the date for the following Sat. because it seems that I'm not going to get much help this time, and I've been busting my ass all week at work and over the weeks trying to get this stuff done, and I'm tired and I can't do it all by myself. So, please PLEASE a handful of people sign up to help me out!! We can also push Prop 2 like we did at the gun show!! This is a good way to catch a bunch of people over the span of a few hours!

We need some volunteers to come out to the Sunset Valley Farmer's market and the Austin Farmer's market to give out DVDs. I hope to have at least another 200 DVDs.

I would like to have 6 people at each market, in groups of two at a few different entry points.

Please volunteer some time and tell me which market you would prefer.

P.S. There is a kind older gentleman that was running the Ron Paul booth at the gun show that would like to help hand out DVDs! He's a cool dude!! HI Mark!! Anyway, if you are all so inclinde to donate any more funds to the DVD project you can do so here: http://austinfirecongress.chipin.com/austin-fire-congress-meetup

Come one, come ALL!! To the second screening event for the film Washington You're Fired!

Austin, TX – Screenwriter and Producer Keith E. Abel is
bringing the film he wrote with Director William Lewis to
Austin for screenings. Washington, You're Fired! is the
powerful new film that features interviews and cameo
appearances by prominent media personalities as well as former
Army Col. and State Department diplomat Ann Wright, former
Georgia Congresswoman and Green Party Presidential candidate
Cynthia McKinney, Constitutional Attorneys Jonathan Turley and
George Burns, Jr., USAF Lt. Col. (ret.) Dr. Robert Bowman and
many others.

Screenings are FREE TO THE PUBLIC

Capturing the attention of disenfranchised voters from all
walks of life, Washington, You're Fired exposes the President's
illegal spy program, the loss of Habeas Corpus, and the
destruction of U.S. privacy rights. In an alarming message to
the American public, this film also exposes how the NSA is
targeting peace groups and activists for surveillance at the
direct orders of the President. Even more concerning is the
mounting evidence that AT&T and Verizon assisted the Bush
Administration in data-mining the daily communications of EVERY
person in the United States - seven months BEFORE the 9/11
terrorist attacks had even occurred. In this film, AT&T
whistleblower, Mark Klein reveals just how deep the NSA rabbit
hole goes.

Washington, You're Fired doesn't just drop the bad news and
run. The viewer is shown what to look for in a candidate for
political office based upon conduct and guidelines set forth in
the U.S. Constitution. Does your candidate measure-up? You
might be surprised! The DVD comes with a full color Do You Know
Your Candidates Voting Record guide, detailing how Clinton,
Obama, McCain and others voted on draconian legislation that
will impact generations to come.

Don't miss out on a film that will undoubtedly shape the
political landscape for the presidential elections. Get a copy
today and share it with everyone!

"When the people fear the government there is tyranny; when the government fears the people there is liberty."

I, like many of you, want to strike fear in the hearts of our so-called representatives. I want them to be afraid that at any moment they will get their notice for termination of employment.

I would like to propose getting the ball rolling and having it snowball all over their asses! I would like to see a free movie event showing Washington You're Fired for the public at large to see at The Alamo or the Dobie. However, I'm not sure exactly how to approach this which is why I would like to call a meeting to hear from everyone on who, what, when, where and how to bring this to reality. I would also like to see some sort of DVD distribution sometime soon, but again I'm not sure how to approach this either, which is why I want to hear from everyone. If anyone has any in's with people from either theater that would be a great help. Or maybe we would have to do a venue rental. I don't know yet, but I want to see what suggestions you all might have and what we can do since we don't have much time before this election cycle is over.

(I'm a realist so...) It's not extremely likely that we can fire much of congress this time around, but I think that if we can keep this up at least every election cycle we can make a bigger and bigger impact each time. I want to see this NATIONWIDE, where the Trash that are wasting our time, money and our blood are afraid of us once again.

Being a part of Fire Congress is much like being a part of any of the other organizations that promotes freedom. In order for our freedom loving friends to take the power centers in various office holdings the general populace needs to further understand why the currant typical choices are part of what is keeping every individual in this nation and around the world from being free and therefore they need to be fired! This film does a great job at explaining why the choices are non-choices through their voting actions in congress, and it addresses exactly what many of us are trying to do and that is taking back the power from the power hungry and getting it back to the people by suggesting that we all try to participate in the political process. The film should engage many people because it is non-partisan.
