Stop Censorship: Urge Capri Theatre in Alabama to Show Siegelman Documentary Film

Capri Theatre Board of Directors (director@capritheatre.org)

Karl Rove and right-wing operatives hijacked the criminal justice system to send Alabama's Democratic Gov. Don Siegelman to prison, because they couldn't defeat him at the ballot box. Now a new documentary film -- Atticus v. The Architect: The Political Assassination of Don Siegelman -- exposes their corruption.

We need to make sure this film is seen far and wide -- to build public outcry and make sure the criminal justice system is never corrupted in this way ever again.

The next step in that fight is in Montgomery, the state capital of Alabama, where the local independent Capri Theatre backed out of its agreement to show the film, under pressure from some of the same right-wing operatives who railroaded Gov Siegelman in the first place.

Sign our petition to the Capri Theatre Board of Directors now: Urge them to honor their agreement to show this critical documentary. The truth about this right-wing exploitation of our criminal justice system must be heard!

We urge you to honor your commitment to screen the film, Atticus v. The Architect: The Political Assassination of Don Siegelman.

The people of Montgomery deserve a chance to watch and hear this important story. The Capri Theatre has a long history of screening important documentaries to provoke important public dialogue. We urge you not bow to political pressure to censor this film. By shining a bright light on the politically motivated prosecution in the Siegelman case, we can root out political corruption from our criminal justice system -- and make sure nothing like this happens again.
