National Wildlife Federation Offers Free Tickets To "An Inconvenient Truth"

National Wildlife Federation Offers Free Tickets To "An Inconvenient Truth"

So what's the deal with the new global warming movie, An Inconvenient Truth? We want you to find out...FREE.

The National Wildlife Federation is offering a limited number of free tickets to sportsmen and women to go see the movie and post your thoughts on their website: www.targetglobalwarming.org

Reserve your TWO FREE TICKETS here: www.targetglobalwarming.org/movieticket

After you see the movie, come back and post your opinion. Your name will be entered into a drawing for a Cabela's Outdoor Adventure. Visit an elite pheasant hunting lodge in South Dakota...fish for salmon in Alaska...pick any trip or product from Cabela's, the world's foremost outfitter of hunting, fishing and outdoor gear (up to a $4,500 value).

Whether or not you like Al Gore, the issue he presents is so paramount to our world--and to our hunting and angling traditions--that every sportsman and woman should at least listen to what he has to say. As Chicago Sun-Times film critic Roger Ebert says:

"In 39 years, I have never written these words in a movie review, but here they are: You owe it to yourself to see this film. If you do not, and you have grandchildren, you should explain to them why you decided not to."

The tickets are free, the topic affects us, here's your opportunity to make up your own mind: www.targetglobalwarming.org/movieticket

Don't know, probably.

The NWF must be desperate for folks to see this movie. I thought it would have been a runaway bestseller just because of Al Gore (grin).

I signed up for the free tickets, if nothing else I'll give them away to one of my liberal friends, give them something else to go crazy about.

So everybody pile into your cars and drive on over to your favorite air-conditioned theater, which, by the way, is most likely powered by fossil fuels and features lots of plastic in the structure, so you can see how modern life is a threat to our planet!

Cabelas???

Looks like they're trying to appeal to the outdoorsmen (as opposed to treehuggers and backpackers) with the Cabelas trips.

I don't see anything about it on the Cabelas web site, I wonder if they know about this?

Dear Future Grandchild:

I didn't go see the Al Gore flick for the same reason I don't go see Michael Moore flicks. They're snake oil salesmen, and they need attention and a purpose in life. Plus, money - lots of money. I decided not to give them mine.

Love, Your Waiting Grandma

IMHO the National Wildlife Federation is not about conservation,it is about money grabbing, land grabbing @ssholes.
This is about typical for these communistic b@stards.

As of June 27th the movie has grossed $10.2 million in 35 days! Not much when "Cars" has taken in $163 million in only 12 days!

Just another failure for the almost president!

Wow, you're a tough audience.

;-)

How about if we throw in a free limousine to and from the theatre?

In you opinion, which "conservation" groups are still worth supporting?

Ducks Unlimited (in Wisconsin, anyway) seems to have a pretty good reputation. My idiot socialist BIL used to work for "The Environmental Decade" which had to go underground after a few money-laundering scandals and is now "Clean Wisconsin." Same Commies, different name, LOL!

Actually, nevermind. I'll tend to my 2 acres of wildlife heaven and leave it at that. ;)

I think its only showing in 77 theaters so far. Amazing that Al Gore would burn 65,000 gallons of jet fuel in a day promoting it for such a lame film. Sounds like a quagmire to me.

I'd almost rather sit and listen to a recording of nails on chalkboards than take a liberal gal to see that film. Though, taking one to it in my eeevil SUV is kind of a sweet poetic justice!

HaHa.

I was kidding you.

One of these days I'll tell you a story about a real Annie Oakley outdoors (not me but a friend of mine) type gal who went on a date with a college professor girly guy she met on some date match website.

She was the outdoor editor for a small daily newspaper in the heartland of America.

They met at a restaurant. After being seated he asked her,"Okay, now tell me again what you do for a living."

She said "I kill things and write stories about it."

She said he scooted his chair abruptly, a few scoots away from the table.

"What in the world do you kill," he asked frantically.

"Well, I've killed deer, rabbits, squirrels, fish, quail, doves, and a few other things."

He scooted the chair back away from the table again -- this time furiously,a reflex action.

Seeing she had his attention, she decided to finish her tale, see if they were "gellin" so to speak.

"The only thing I haven't done, in my work, is to kill a wild boar with a spear," she continued. "I am working on that and hope to do that someday."

She said right then the chair scooted across the floor so fast sparks were flying from the scraped floor.

"Let's eat," he said.

They ate in silence. Later he paid the bill and shook her hand.

"I'll call you," he said as they departed.

He never did.

Even though that happened to my friend years ago I still laugh thinking how scared that prof probably was -- thought he'd hooked up with a physco or something.

That is hilarious, I can only imagine!! What did he teach, humanities or liberal arts?

We've had a big French Invasion in our office here. One guy from Montreal, and then 3 that just showed up from France.

The first one from France to arrive, I took to set up a bank account & got lunch. Pretty cool guys, all of them, but I was really biting my tongue when he told me that he wanted me to tell him any France jokes I knew!

LOL, "Well.....You hear about those new 5-sp French tanks or the Used French rifle sale?? How bout why the streets of Paris are lined with trees?"

"I don't care to see the movie, but will go for the free stuff."

And the laughs.

Story ideas, and sightseeing adventure of being in the dark with a bunch of lefty freaks who believe we are all gonna die if we don't quit consuming EVERYTHING.

It will be the ultimate Tundra experience.

I think I'll wear camo and carry my green binoculars. I'll stand up halfway through the movie and announce "They're here, hit the floor."

I'll convince every lefty in the place to give me their car keys, then back away slowly.

Just kidding.

I can really think of several really good comedy routines from this -- PAGING Jeff Foxworthy and the "Git 'Er done guy . . . (snicker).

Like many of the democrats, Gore is fun to joke about. He makes himself look silly.

They say stuff that is stupid...like Kerry's " he was for it before he was against it." or Clinton's " Never had sex with that woman..."

They must think that they can fool us ?

Gore and many others say stuff as if we do not have tapes of them previously saying the exact opposite.

Yeah, but the funny thing is the ding-a-ling Dems all shake their heads in agreement---no matter what Al/John say.

Soros, Buffet, Burkle... and their money make these weak politicians march in step.

If they get out of line, the weak politicians will lose their campaign money.

The unions like the NEA, UAW, AFL-CIO, Planned Parenthood... also provide votes and campaign workers to get out the dead, the illegals, and the other stupid voters.

when you think in terms of millenia and longer, warming comes and warming goes...so what's new? From my pov, it wasn't that long ago that the middle east was so hot and dry that it effectly kept humans from moving out of Africa into Europe...

They all act like this is a new thing, never before seen on the earth.
