The Early Stages of "Buzz"

I.O.U.S.A. LIVE! with  Warren Buffett, Pete Peterson and David Walker One Night Only -- Aug. 21, 2008 In Select Movie Theatres Nationwide   We've Got a Free Gift for You if You Buy Your Tickets Now Dear Reader, The excitement is palpable. Our HQ in Baltimore has been inundated with e-mails and calls… people are telling us they're willing to travel long distances to come see the film. We've heard from Canadians who are crossing the border and driving as far as 250 miles to the closest theatres. Readers from France and England are buying tickets, just to show their support. A civic group in Denver has reportedly bought 100 tickets and is encouraging its members to attend. And we heard from a reader that one of the theatres in Milwaukee is already sold out. We've heard stories that the management teams of some companies are snapping up tickets for their employees. Others are trying to set up additional screenings in theatres closer to their homes. And we've had multiple inquiries from financial publishers in the industry asking how they can get involved to help put "butts in seats" for the premiere. Even the media are on board. Radio stations are offering to promote the Aug. 21 event with I.O.U.S.A. ticket giveaways. We've had inquiries from CNN, The Washington Post and The New York Times. If you haven't been following along, this trailer is the best way to see what all the excitement is about. Just click play below…     I find the trailer chilling, even though I've been working on the project for 2½ years! I would submit it's worth passing this e-mail around just to get your friends and relatives to watch the trailer. Either way, we appreciate that you're taking this event seriously. The live event on Aug. 21 is our one chance to fill up theatres and have the message of the film heard. If we're successful on that night, the film has a much greater chance of later reaching a wider audience through a general release in theatres around the country. That's why we need you to come out and see the film, along with your friends and colleagues. If you do come out, we're offering a special thank you gift in return -- and not just a token of our appreciation: something of real value, something that you can use to make better personal investment decisions. If you come out and see I.O.U.S.A. during the Aug. 21 event, we'll give you a complimentary subscription to our flagship publication, Strategic Investment. We'd normally charge $99 for an annual subscription, but if you come out and support the film, you can have it free of charge for one year. Here's how it works. After you've purchased your tickets, forward a copy of the confirmation e-mail you receive to customerservice@agorafinancial.com and we'll give you a complimentary one-year subscription. If you're already a subscriber to Strategic Investment, we'll extend your subscription for another a year. If you're a Reserve Member, we have an additional gift reserved for you. Forward your confirmation e-mail to find out what it is. The early buzz on the movie is exciting. But it would be even more exciting if you joined us to take part in this one-night-only exclusive event. Thanks for your support, Addison Wiggin Executive publisher, Agora Financial Executive producer, I.O.U.S.A. P.S. With Warren Buffett, Pete Peterson and David Walker's LIVE discussion from Omaha, this premiere could be a breakthrough event.

P.P.S. In an effort to raise awareness for the premiere of I.O.U.S.A . on Aug. 21, we've arranged for a ticket giveaway at local radio stations in cities where the film is screening. If you are a radio host, let us know and we can set you up, and even come on the show to give it a boost. If you listen to a radio show that you think would like to participate, please let us know and we'll contact it. Here's a sample of one interview we did with Bill Meyer on KMED, in Medford, Ore., yesterday. Enjoy.
