Dear Friends,

Twice in the past, we've asked you for money to help us take aim at the world's nastiest criminals. Both times, you responded generously - and the results you can see at http://theyesmen.org/ (search on "Exxon" and "Halliburton").

Now, we've teamed up with a dozen talented pals to aim our sights on the biggest crime of the twenty-first century: the destruction of a whole country for obviously fabricated reasons by the thugs in charge of our country.

Your donation (http://theyesmen.org/donate/) will make it possible for us to print and distribute up to hundred thousand copies of, um, something. We can't tell you what it is, but we can say it'll happen well before the Presidential election, that it's fantastic and funny and smart, and that it aims to change the discussion from just managing the Iraq War, to ending it, with all that that would mean for the US as well. Because this war has been a disaster not just for Iraq.

If you give us money (any amount is helpful), we'll make sure you get a copy. And if you live in the New York area and would like to be part of this action, please write mailto:newyork@theyesmen.org.

(Speaking of New York: Chris Smith, one of the directors of "The Yes Men," has made an incredible new film, "The Pool," that will open at Film Forum in New York on September 3: http://www.filmforum.org/films/pool.html For subsequent screenings in other cities, see http://www.thepoolfilm.com/)

(Oh, and speaking of movies, we're nearly done with ours! In three
months or so we will have a brand new film based on five of our
actions, with plenty of plot and some investigative journalism to boot. Stay tuned!)

Love,
The Yes Men and friends
