So, would it be OK to enlist your help in a sort of quickly cobbled-together “army” of grassroots foot soldiers, wherein you could pitch in where you live (and on social media) to let people know about my movie?” he continued. “I could post some ideas tomorrow of things you and your friends could do.”

Filmmaker Michael Moore is sick wih pneumonia and is asking fans to help get the word out about his latest film opening Feb. 12.
Moore says the grueling schedule to promote the film led to him becoming ill.
“Let’s just say things didn’t look good Sunday night,” he posted on Facebook. “But thanks to a combination of good doctors, decent hospital food and 2nd term Obamacare, I’m doing much better.”
“Between bustin’ it 4 my movie opening next wk, plus in&out of Flint, plus Election work, I find myself today in an ICU w/pneumonia” he tweeted Thursday.
Moore made “Bowling for Columbine,” “Roger & Me” and “Fahrenheit 9/11.”
He remains a political force with his latest focusing on what America can learn from other countries as he “invades” the countries to see what they have to offer.
Moore realizes his request is unorthodox, but says that after working so hard on this film, he very much wants it to succeed.
