> The buzz is already out there--the award winning new documentary Sir! No
> Sir! www.sirnosir.com is coming to the great
> state of Texas. Sir! No Sir! explores the forgotten history of the inspiring
> movement by GI's to end the Vietnam War. An important piece of the past,
> the film looks at the civil disobedience, conscientious objectors and
> underground newspapers and coffee houses where the resistance flourished.
> 
> It is also points towards the present and the future, and will help to raise
> awareness about burgeoning movements of today--current resistance to the
> Iraq War by active duty military, as well as the efforts by students,
> teachers and parents to get military recruiters off school campuses and stop
> the 'poverty draft' of today.
> 
> The film opens May 19th in Austin and later in Houston on May 26th and San
> Antonio in June 2nd. I am working as an outreach coordinator on the film,
> which as you may have heard recently got 'Two Thumbs Up' by Ebert and
> Roeper. Our goal is to learn more about your organization's objectives for
> the year and support you in using the film as a tool to get your goals
> achieved! I am based in Los Angeles and can be reached via cell at
> 213.254.8715 and by email at hollyr at riseup.net.

> We invite you to partner with us in a few ways:
> 
> 1-Table-a-screening: We are looking for groups to take on a screening and
> help make it a happening. You'd invite your members and supporters to
> attend a particular day's screening and host a table in the lobby. Some
> groups have purchased advanced blocks of tickets at a discount rate from the
> theater and sold them full price to their folks as a mini-fundraiser.
> 
> 2-Screen the 12 minute trailer and host a discussion with the film's
> director or producer at your organization, home or church. Let's plug into
> events already on your calendar!
> The DVD release is happening in July so stay tuned for house party
> opportunities later this summer!
> 
> 3-Let's cross promote each other's events!!!!
> Share information and swap web links with us & pass out flyers and postcards

> 
> General, man is very useful.
> He can fly and he can kill.
> But he has one defect: He can think.
