"America" Nominated For Golden Reel Award

Weekly Update from Dinesh D'Souza

Dear Friends,

This Tuesday, the president gave a State of the Union address to Congress. Does anyone at this stage seriously think America's problems can be solved with another whopping tax increase? The American people resoundingly rejected the Obama agenda in November, so we should all feel free to ignore what Obama said this week.

I found myself laughing through the speech, not at Obama, but at his glassy-eyed devotees blindly following this ridiculous Pied Piper.

Ironically, the day before the president's speech, we celebrated the legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr. How I wish we had a Martin Luther King today instead of thugs and scam-artists like Obama—and Sharpton, Jackson, and Holder.

I spoke with Megyn Kelly on Monday and explained how we descended from Dr. King to the Sharpton-Holder-Obama crowd of today. Megyn and I disagreed about whether or not Obama's life represents the "African-America experience."

Watch below:

With the facts now known about what really happened in Ferguson, will this crowd of exploitation-artists apologize for their shameful conduct? The true lesson from Ferguson is NOT police brutality but the left's exploitation of race to cause mayhem and derive political advantage.

In more exciting news this week, America was nominated for a 2015 Golden Reel Award in the Featured Documentary category. Other nominees include Citizenfour, Deepsea Challenge 3D, Glen Campbell…I'll Be Me, Jodorowsky's Dune, Under the Electric Sky, and Warsaw Uprising.

The Motion Picture Sound Editors 62nd Golden Reel Awards will be held February 15, 2015.

The Florida bill to show America to students also kicked off a big debate recently, and the bill has a fair chance to become law. Senate Bill 96 and House Bill 77, filed by Republicans Sen. Alan Hays and Rep. Neil Combee, would require all eighth and 11th grade students to watch my film. The Washington Post reported on the bill's prospects on Wednesday.

Sincerely,

Dinesh D'Souza
