The Seattle Times: Local News: "Fahrenheit 9/11" morphs into hot political property

The Seattle Times: Local News: "Fahrenheit 9/11" morphs into hot political property: "Deborah Senn, who's running for attorney general, wants you to see the movie with her. So do the ACLU, the 32nd District Democratic Committee and Congressman Jay Inslee.
Even before it opens tomorrow, Michael Moore's Bush-bashing docu-satire, 'Fahrenheit 9/11' is being harnessed by Democratic candidates and liberal groups to raise money and rally the troops.
Some have bought blocks of tickets that they're reselling to supporters to raise money. Others, such as MoveOn.org, are planning small-group 'house parties' to talk about the movie.

A local advocacy group, No Vote Left Behind, plans to host an event at The Crocodile Cafe tomorrow, with a deejay and a ticket raffle. In Tacoma, a group called America in Solidarity has bought many of the tickets for a Sunday screening at the Grand Cinema in Tacoma. A co-founder of the group said some people are driving for an hour to attend."
