Democrats Abroad Japan Blog: Report from Aaron in Kansai

Democrats Abroad Japan Blog: "Just a short report about our Fahrenheit 9/11 opening night gathering in Osaka with a link to a Japan Times article at the bottom.

48 DAJK members and friends attended the opening of Fahrenheit 9/11 at the Garden Cinema theater in Umeda. Before and after the film we helped 5 people register to vote and gave out another 15 applications.

Kansai Television interviewed several people and 2 members were shown speaking on the 11:30 news. There was at least one person from the Japanese press, but I am not sure which paper. If anyone sees anything, please let me know.

As we were picking up our signs for voter registration, the theater manager asked if she could keep them and put them up. I quickly wrote the overseasvote2004.com address on the bottom of the signs. I am going to try to send her something a little better and perhaps see if other theaters in Kansai want to put up signs."
