Lot of it makes sense; get up and make a difference, US still has some dose of democracy left. http://www.michaelmoore.com/words/mikes-letter/michael-moores-action-plan-15-things-every-american-can-do-right-now#at

A lot of the last 5 things make sense, especially the part about credit cards and taking care of your family. I'm not sure unionizing is always a great thing though. Unions were essential at one time and still are in some industries, but they often turn out to be just as corrupt as the businesses themselves. Still, they are often a good idea. Most of the rest of the list is just typical Michael Moore fearmongering. There are a few points here and there that sound good but overall there's not a lot of substance there. I nearly laughed when I read people did the impossible getting Obama elected. Where was Moore then? Obama was a shoe-in.

To be fair, I have heard Moore's (godawful) Farenheit 9/11 cited as one of the reasons that Kerry lost in 2004, so maybe Moore thought he'd better keep a low profile during the last election in case he managed to queer Obama's pitch as well?

Personally, I do not favor the first proposal. It would be wrong to keep people in homes they can not afford. They should rent. Labor issue is more complex. The problem is that with outsourcing, high unemployment and so called "service economy" (where many work part time low skilled work positions) the labor unionized or not has lost its traditional bargaining power. In US consumer driven economy it is a major question how to enable lower classes to make income. Job-loss recovery some are talking about is a pure fiction. Otherwise, the consumer should attempt to bypass and restrain the corporate monopoly and arrogance.

Michael Moore has made approximately 150 million on his films. Could he have done the same thing in Cuba ? I really doubt it. If this Country is that bad, why doesn't he just move ?

I don't ever remember McCain leading the polls, but then again I don't usually pay attention to that kind of thing either so I won't dispute what you said. Either way, the election was pretty much the Democrats' to lose.

No, but he could have done so quite happily in in any of those lefty Scandinavian countries or the appallingly left leaning Belgium or Holland.
