I guess I was tired of seeing people like Lila Lipscomb,
1:54:05
especially when, out of the 535 members of Congress,
1:54:10
only one had an enlisted son in Iraq.
1:54:18
I asked Corporal Henderson of the United States
Marine Corps to join me on Capitol Hill
1:54:22
to see how many members of Congress
1:54:24
we could convince to enlist their children
to go to Iraq.
1:54:29
- Congressman. I'm Michael Moore.
- Hey Mike, how you doin'? I'm good. John Tanner.
1:54:32
Nice to meet you.
Very nice to meet you.
1:54:35
- What are ya'all doin'?
- I'm here with our Corporal Henderson, US Marine Corps...
1:54:38
I was in the Navy years ago.
1:54:41
1968 to 72.... We had Marines guard the base.
1:54:47
- You have kids?
- Yeah.
1:54:48
Is there any way we can get them to enlist?
And go over there, and help out with the effort?
1:54:53
I have all the brochures...
1:54:55
- Well I've got two children...
- Yeah, yeah, well, see there's not many Congressman
that've got kids over there.
1:55:00
In fact, only one, you know, so we just thought maybe um,
you know, that, you guys should send your kids there first.
1:55:07
What do you think of that idea?
1:55:09
- I don't disagree with it.
- Oh you don't?
1:55:12
Uh, good, well here, take some brochures, then here...
Take a Marine brochure.
1:55:15
Pass it around. Encourage fellow members, ya know,
if they're for the war to get behind it,
ya know, and send their own.
1:55:21
- Thank you,...
- Thank you, sir. Thank you very much.
1:55:26
Congressman? Michael Moore.
1:55:28
- How are you doing?
- Good good. Tryin' to get members of Congress to,
1:55:33
get their kids to enlist in the Army,
and, go over to Iraq.
1:55:38
Congressman? Congressman?
1:55:57
Of course, not a single member of Congress
wanted to sacrifice their child
