Demanding that theaters not show a film is un-american.

This group that was pointed out to me by a fellow supporter of free speech, wants people to contact theaters and ask demand that they not show the film Farenheit 9/11. They have a list of email addresses at the following link, PABAAH! - Please Contact These Theaters, for you to use to make demands on the theaters to not show the film.

This is wrong.
No matter what you may personally feel about Micheal Moore or Dubya or the war, demanding that theaters not show a film because you don't want them to is censorship.
You are taking away my right and the rights of others to decide for themselves if they want to see the film and make their own minds up and form their own opinions.
So if you feel strongly about free speech and the ability to see any and all works of film and art like I do and you want to see or help this movie be seen, use the email addresses on this site against the group trying to boycott the film by emailing them and asking them to show the film.
They are trying to squash free speech, free thought, free will. Use your rights as you have them to help stop the boycotting of this film.

*Updated my title because I used the wrong wording. The point is still the same.
