Dear Mr. Cloud:

In my earlier letter to you I erred when I said there was no evidence the documentary on Ann Coulter, which you alleged has " won some favorable notices," had not been screened publicly this year.

The direct-to-video film was shown earlier this month in Massachusetts by the College Republicans at Brandies University as part of a political conference, according the release that follows.

The conference was not a film festival.

Regards,

Brandeis Republicans to Challenge Liberal Campus Establishment

WALTHAM, MASSACHUSETTS, (NAMC) – Brandeis University’s College Republicans will host a week of events aimed at helping “closeted” conservatives openly admit their political beliefs. Many Brandeis conservatives hide their politics for fear of the university’s overwhelming liberal establishment. The student organizers say Brandeis embraces diversity of people, but often shuns diversity of thought.
·Monday-Friday: Brandeis Republicans will be tabling in the Usdan Student Center from 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM and 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM.·Monday (Apr 4): Kickoff speech by Cathy Young of the Boston Globe and Reason magazine. 6:30 PM in the Shapiro Campus Center Art Gallery.
·Tuesday (Apr 5): Brainwashing 101 documentary on academic bias followed by open discussion on liberal bias at Brandeis. 7:00 PM in Olin-Sang 116.
·Wednesday (Apr 6): Campaign Management Seminar led by a Brandeis Republican who managed a 2004 state house campaign. 7:00 PM in Lown Auditorium.
·Thursday (Apr 7): “Is it True What They Say about Ann?” documentary about popular conservative pundit Ann Coulter. 8:30 PM in Lown Auditorium.
