Spreading the scope of Boycott Chapter 27
Although, I would not go so far as to say that we can guarantee that Chapter 27 will not be distributed to theaters in the United States, almost a month has passed since Sundance and no deal is in sight. With each passing day, we become more and more confident that in some small way we had an impact on the fact that no US Distributor is willing to sell his soul and work to profit from Chapter 27.
We will certainly continue to push, in order to ensure that this film is seen by as few people as possible (and at the very least educate those who would choose to see it), but going forward we will be spending additional time working to expand the organizations reach. Focusing on peace and actions of peace, that we feel fall in line with our interpretations of John Lennons belief systems.
So far we have begun to read on numerous organizations and are working to narrow down the groups to one that most closely fits our current organizations feelings on peace, capitalism and democracy.
We are welcome to suggestions as we search for partners, hear is an interesting mission statement from PEACE ACTION
Three Steps to a Safer World
We need a foreign policy based on American values. Policies based on the following principles will help to increase global stability without creating further anti-American sentiment.
1. Support Human Rights and Democracy
We should exhibit international leadership by opposing the policies of human rights abusers, not rewarding them with weapons.
Democracy and human rights are ideals that the American people hold dear. Our elected officials have not held true to these values. Sadly, our country leads the world in providing arms sales and military training to human rights abusing governments and dictatorships. When US weapons are used to prop up governments hated by their own people, bitterness is the result. When we sell weapons worldwide, those arms end up being used against our own troops.
2. Reduce the Threat from Weapons of Mass Destruction
Our nation should lead a worldwide campaign to reduce and control the threat from weapons of mass destruction - a policy we could be proud of.
We face no greater threat than nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction. Such weapons are only effective as a means of terror - that can be aimed at us as well as others. The only way to be safe from this threat is to destroy the stockpiles and secure those facilities that make nuclear materials. Instead of leading efforts to secure and dismantle nuclear weapons, the Bush Administration wants to build new ones. Spending billions on a missile defense that won't work while building new nuclear weapons will only speed the pace of nuclear proliferation.
3. Cooperate with the World Community
We should play a positive, leadership role in the world community, planning strategies for a future we can all live with.
The Declaration of Independence urged "a decent respect for the opinions of mankind." Our foreign policy isn't reflecting that core value. Our elected officials have abandoned or blocked a host of international agreements on arms control, human rights, the environment, and the International Criminal Court. Instead of promoting "pre-emptive strikes," the US needs to promote policies that address the larger needs of the world community and that minimize the potential for hate and anger. The US has the strength and ability to better the working and living conditions of human kind, and to increase our own security in the process - but only if we lead through cooperation.

Just learned that ThinkFilm will distribute Chapter 27
And the Peace Arch whores didn't do a press release?
I hold one share, this may get reported to the SEC if this is true.
