American Blackout critically examines the contemporary tactics used to control our democratic process and silence voices of political dissent.
Many have heard of the alleged voting irregularities that occurred during the presidential elections of 2000 and 2004. Until now, these incidents have gone under-reported and are commonly written off as insignificant rumors or unintentional mishaps resulting from an overburdened election system.
American Blackout chronicles the recurring patterns of voter disenfranchisement from Florida 2000 to Ohio 2004 while following the story of Georgia Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney.
The film features interviews with: US Congressional Representatives, John Lewis, Cynthia McKinney, John Conyers, Bernie Sanders, and Stephanie Tubbs-Jones; former US Civil Rights Commissioner & Dean of UC Berkeley’s School of Law, Christopher Edley; BBC journalist Greg Palast; Bob Fitrakis, and, Van Jones, Executive Director of the Ella Baker Center. American Blackout is directed by Ian Inaba of GNN TV.

A Message from Sen. Obama
Dear Friend:
For the last four weeks, I have traveled across America, meeting people from all walks of life and all regions of the country who have been waiting for a new kind of politics in America — waiting for a new generation of leaders who will speak to their hopes and get to work on the issues that matter to them.
Tomorrow, the wait is over.
Tomorrow, we have the chance to do more than just complain about the direction this country is headed - we have a chance to change it.
But this can only happen if you pick up a ballot and vote.
I know that so many of you are ready to go to the polls and get this done tomorrow, but here’s a few things you can do today to make sure it happens.
1) Find out where you’re registered to vote.
2) Plan when you are going to go to the polls - morning, lunch, coffee break, after work — whenever. But it helps to decide now so you can make arrangements accordingly.
3) Remind at least one other person to vote tomorrow.
Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter once said, "In a democracy, the highest office is the office of citizen."
Tomorrow, the highest duty of the highest office in our democracy is to vote. And for the first time in a long time, the result of that vote could make all the difference in the lives of so many Americans desperate for leadership, hungry for change, and hoping for the dawn of a new day in the country they love.
Sincerely,
Chris Bell “Get Out the Vote” Rally, 7-8:30pm City Hall Park
