Help us take on the thugs!

Dear Friends,

Twice in the past, we've asked you for money to help us take aim at the

world's nastiest criminals. Both times, you responded generously - and

the results you can see at theyesmen.org (search on "Exxon" and

"Halliburton").

Now, we've teamed up with a dozen talented pals to aim our sights on

the biggest crime of the twenty-first century: the destruction of a

whole country for obviously fabricated reasons by the thugs in charge

of our country.

Your donation (http://theyesmen.org/donate/) will make it possible for

us to print and distribute up to hundred thousand copies of, um,

something. We can't tell you what it is, but we can say it'll happen

well before the Presidential election, that it's fantastic and funny

and smart, and that it aims to change the discussion from just managing

the Iraq War, to ending it, with all that that would mean for the US as

well. Because this war has been a disaster not just for Iraq.

If you give us money (any amount is helpful), we'll make sure you get a

copy. And if you live in the New York area and would like to be part of

this action, please write newyork(at)theyesmen.org.

(Speaking of New York: Chris Smith, one of the directors of "The Yes

Men," has made an incredible new film, "The Pool," that will open at

Film Forum in New York on September 3:

www.filmforum.org/films/pool.html For subsequent screenings in

other cities, see www.thepoolfilm.com)

(Oh, and speaking of movies, we're nearly done with ours! In three

months or so we will have a brand new film based on five of our

actions, with plenty of plot and some investigative journalism to boot.

Stay tuned!)

Love,

The Yes Men and friends
