Michael Moore Challenge

"Top Fitness Professionals Are Teaming Up To Present A Very Unique Challenge To Filmmaker Michael Moore!"

I am forwarding this email from my friends Ryan Lee and Jim Labadie to you. Take part with us to change America! -Dave

Dear concerned citizen,

Love him or hate him, Michael Moore carries a lot of influence. He is a national figure and the amount of publicity he generates can undoubtedly do a great deal of good for the United States and the world.

His recent film "Sicko" takes a very strong look at the current healthcare insurance situation in the United States. Whatever your feelings about the film or your political affiliation, please put them aside. In fact, the purpose of this challenge is not to take issue with the cost or unavailability of health insurance.

The purpose of this challenge is very simple: Currently Mr. Moore is a walking advertisement for heart disease and diabetes. Among other health issues. This is not to bash him. This is not to be viewed as an attack on him. This is not about aesthetics. This is not about looking good in a bathing suit. This is about Michael Moore exercising regularly and improving his diet so he can become a better role model for preventative care.

If Michael Moore really wants do something - if we ALL want to do something - about making changes in the health of the citizens of the United States then we believe he should focus on the prevention of illnesses by taking his health into his own hands.

As the issuers of this challenge we do not know anything about Mr. Moore's personal health history. We do not know if there are any underlying causes for his current physical condition other than lack of exercise and poor eating habits. Again, it is not our intention to condemn or condone Michael Moore's stance on any subject other than his own current physical condition. The challenge is sincerely meant to have a strong positive impact on the health of the nation.

So this is how you can play a big role in the Michael Moore Health Challenge:

Please send an email expressing your desire for Mr. Moore to accept this challenge. And please be sure to keep it short, sweet and positive. There is no reason to ask anything of him except a positive change in his health so he can serve as a role model for others. If you'd like a form letter to send you can scroll down to the bottom of this page to find one. Just add your name and city and state to the end of it.

Send your email to: healthychallenge@gmail.com

Put "Michael Moore Health Challenge" as the subject of it.

And please forward the email you received about this or this website address to as many people as you possibly can. Our goal is to receive tens of thousands, if not HUNDREDS of thousands of letters and emails and present them to the media so we can be sure Michael Moore hears about it. Of course the ultimate goal is to create positive social change. The message of prevention is what we want to spread. We'd like the citizens of this great nation to take a proactive approach to their healthcare. And while we know that exercise and proper nutrition will not eliminate the need for health insurance, it can a long way towards improving the overall health of the public.

Here is an EXAMPLE you can use in your email. If you do not use this, be respectful and positive!

Dear Mr. Moore,

As a concerned citizen I am writing you today to ask you to accept the Michael Moore Healthy Challenge. Regardless of whether or not I agree with your views or opinions, I do know your fame and notoriety can help the health of this great nation.
