April 1st: Common Security Clubs showing Inside Job<br>
<br>
You know what they say. Fool me once, shame on you - fool me twice,
shame on me. The big banks and lax regulators sure did fool us once, to
the tune of billions of dollars and a worldwide economic meltdown. And
unless things change, they’re on track to fool us again.<br>
<br>
Don't let them get away with it. Organize a “We Won’t Be Fooled Again”
party! Rent or buy the movie "Inside Job" and watch it with a few
friends or neighbors on Friday, April 1. List your party here on
Facebook (<a href="http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=190850457618079" target="_blank">http://www.facebook.com/<wbr>event.php?eid=190850457618079</a>) and we'll send one randomly selected party a free copy of the DVD.<br>
<br>
Use this discussion guide (<a href="http://commonsecurityclub.org/2010/03/22/don%E2%80%99t-get-fooled-again-inside-job-discussion-questions/" target="_blank">http://commonsecurityclub.<wbr>org/2010/03/22/don%E2%80%99t-<wbr>get-fooled-again-inside-job-<wbr>discussion-questions/</a>)
to talk about it the film – and to talk about what steps you can take
to increase your own economic security. For the full Teacher's Guide to
the film, visit <a href="http://www.sonyclassics.com/insidejob/" target="_blank">http://www.sonyclassics.com/<wbr>insidejob/</a><br>
<br>
If you’re part of a Common Security Club, you’re learning about the
causes of the meltdown and exploring a new type of economic security
that’s not based on Wall Street’s “phantom wealth,” but on the real
wealth generated by you and your community. Sign Up at <a href="http://commonsecurityclub.org/" target="_blank">commonsecurityclub.org</a> to hear news from the Common Security Club movement.<br>
<br>
If you're in Washington DC on April 1, attend an "Inside Job" public
screening and discussion moderated by Chuck Collins at the Festival
Center. For details, visit <a href="http://www.ips-dc.org/events/economic_meltdown_lets_not_get_fooled_again" target="_blank">http://www.ips-dc.org/events/<wbr>economic_meltdown_lets_not_<wbr>get_fooled_again</a><br>
Wall Street fooled us once – don’t let them do it again. Get informed
and get moving to increase your independence from their phantom wealth
traps.<br>
<br>
Onward,<br>

About the movie: Inside Job won this year's Academy Award for best
documentary. It is a comprehensive analysis exposing the shocking truth
behind the economic crisis of 2008. The global financial meltdown, at a
cost of over $20 trillion, resulted in millions of people losing their
homes and jobs. Through extensive research and interviews with major
financial insiders, politicians and journalists, the documentary traces
the rise of a rogue industry and unveils the corrosive relationships
which have corrupted politics, regulation and academia.<br>
