Both have a<BR/>film / movie connection and come without charges. Thanks for the<BR/>consideration.<BR/><BR/>- - - -<BR/><BR/>Tuesday night (in less than 24 hours) WQED 13 (one of our public<BR/>broadcasting stations) is slated to show a new film at 10:30 pm about "Mr. Smith Going to Washington." It covers a real-life guy (a teacher) who jumps into politics and decides to run for US Congress. He is from Iowa. They pulled together a grass-roots campaign and made a movie<BR/>about the experience. He doesn't get elected within the film's<BR/>campaign. However, later he ran for another seat and has since been<BR/>elected. I've not seen the movie, but it shoud be good. Let's watch it together.<BR/><BR/>>From the comfort of your own home, you can join me and others in a<BR/>"LIVE BLOGGING Exercise" while the show airs tonight. Check the<BR/>details at http://Rauterkus.blogspot.com<BR/><BR/> Tuesday, Feb 29, 2007 -- site opens at 10 pm, show begins at 10:30 pm.<BR/> Phone Number: (724) 444-7444<BR/> Talkcast ID: 3181<BR/><BR/>You'll need to get a TalkShoe ID to get into the 'chat room'. Come<BR/>early and we'll shoot the breeze. Ttext chat from a computer also<BR/>happens via both my blog and with the TalkShoe site. Our conversation<BR/>then becomes a PODCAST.<BR/><BR/>The focus -- of course -- is HOW TO RUN FOR PUBLIC OFFICE.<BR/><BR/>If I can run for six offices this year, as a Libertarian, then perhaps you can run for one. Running Mates are being recruited.<BR/><BR/>- - - -<BR/><BR/>On Thursday (March 1, 2007) at 7:30 pm, I'd love for you to join me,<BR/>my family and some of our swimming friends at a special showing of a<BR/>not-yet-release movie, PRIDE. I have a batch of vouchers for two --<BR/>without charge.<BR/><BR/>This Hollywood movie (from Lions Gate Studio) has a public release<BR/>date of March 23, 2007. But on Thursday night, March 1, at 7:30 pm, there will be a pre-release showing for a special audience. The story is about a Pittsburgh native who moved to Philly and coaches inter city swimmers with the Philly Park District. The movie is about a<BR/>coach (Jim Ellis), his athletes and team, the community and SWIMMING.<BR/>I think it is going to be like the football movie: Remember The Titans<BR/>-- but for swimming. Watch the trialer.<BR/><BR/>http://www.pridefilm.com/<BR/><BR/>One of the SuperBowl commercials promoted the movie, Pride. It is<BR/>inspired by true events. The movie is rated PG.<BR/><BR/>There is no charge to attend on Thursday. But, you have to have a<BR/>voucher. And, even with a voucher -- there is no guarantee that seats<BR/>are going to be available. It is a first-come, first served basis.<BR/>This is a premiere, Pittsburgh promotion. The cinema is going to be over booked. I've got more than 70 passes that I'm dishing out to<BR/>those that want to attend.<BR/><BR/>To attend the movie -- send me an email (Mark at Rauterkus.com) or call my cell phone: 412 298 3432. I only have a limited number of vouchers.<BR/>First come, first served. I'll want to speak with you so I can get you<BR/>the voucher (for two) in plenty of time to get in line that night.<BR/><BR/>Each voucher is for two people. But the vouchers are only good as<BR/>seats are available. No guarantees with me getting you a voucher. Nor<BR/>are there any guarantees with you getting a seat at the cinema once<BR/>you have voucher.<BR/><BR/>Vouchers are for the cinema in Homestead at the Waterfront.<BR/><BR/>Thursday night is a rough night for a movie geared to swimmers as the<BR/>WPIAL Swim Meet occurs on both Thursday and Friday this week. The<BR/>WPIAL Swimmers with Friday events won't be headed to a movie that<BR/>night -- I hope. Good luck swimmers!<BR/><BR/>When the movie does open to the public, I hope to host a community<BR/>forum at a local theater and have invited speakers there to address<BR/>various elements of the movie. We'll cover lessons Pittsburgh should learn -- and touch upon the academic achievement gap among students from different backgrounds in our city and region.<BR/><BR/>If you can't make it Thursday, or if I run out of passes -- then watch your email for the next invite later this month. Once the movie is released we'll schedule another date and arrange to have a panel discussion after the show.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Ta.<BR/><BR/>Mark Rauterkus Mark at Rauterkus.com<BR/>http://Rauterkus.blogspot.com<BR/>http://Elect.Rauterkus.com http://Platform.For-Pgh.org<BR/>412 298 3432 = cell<BR/><BR/>Sign the petition to help save Ohio Univ.
