Robert Greenwald

The commercial, created by Robert Greenwald's Brave New Films, calls upon those who believe in progress to use their anger to get the change they voted for. It is insane to let oil companies repeal greenhouse gas emissions caps, and it's insane to turn the reins of government over to people who would destroy it.

Created by Robert Greenwald’s Brave New Films the commercial shows the fire behind hot-button issues like “Wall Street greed,” “insurance rate hikes,”  and “foreclosures,” then calls the question, “Are U Mad As Hell? But Think The Tea Party Is Insane?”  It asks the public to turn to Consumer Watchdog and The Progressive’s Guide to Raising Hell for answers about how to use anger to get the change we voted for.  Robert Greenwald also produced this short, popular online video about the book http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3RD0YObHok&feature=player_embedded

Public outrage is the most powerful force in the world if you know how to leverage it and turn it into power. That's why I wrote The Progressive's Guide To Raising Hell, published today by Chelsea Green, to show average Americans how their common anger can be turned into power using the force of public opinion online and offline. Award-winning filmmaker Robert Greenwald made this short video about Raising Hell and its battle-proven, step-by-step tactics that artfully sums up the book's essence.

We at Consumer Watchdog thank everyone who spread the word about the boycott, in particular our Rage For Justice Awardees Jane O'Meara Sanders, RoseAnn DeMoro, and Robert Greenwald, and Ralph Nader. The effort shows that a few people can make a big difference in a short time.
