Former assemblyman lobbying against film

Former assemblyman lobbying against film North County Times - North San Diego and Southwest Riverside County News: "Former state Assemblyman Howard Kaloogian has a new target in his cross hairs. He's leading a conservative group turning up the heat on a new movie from controversial filmmaker Michael Moore.

Kaloogian, who lives in San Marcos, helped organize the successful recall of Gov. Gray Davis and failed earlier this year in his bid for the Republican U.S. Senate nomination.

A few months ago he founded a group called Move America Forward, which evolved from the letter-writing campaign that prompted CBS not to air its TV movie 'The Reagans.'

Now the group is gunning for another movie, calling Moore's latest film, 'Fahrenheit 9/11,' propaganda. The scorching documentary attacks President Bush's rationale for the war in Iraq and accuses the Bush administration of manipulating the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks for political gain.

"Michael Moore has already received worldwide attention for this movie. ... He's gotten millions of dollars (worth of publicity). My little effort is not going to give him more," Kaloogian said, when asked if all the negative attention could backfire and send more people in search of the film."
