TOLEDO -- With eight days until election day, Democrats and Republicans area hitting the campaign trail hard. Internationally-known filmmaker Michael Moore rallied voters to vote President Bush out of office.
It was the sound of a political revolution, as filmmaker Michael Moore was welcomed by thousands inside Toledo's Seagate center. This is the 45th stop on Moore's Slacker Uprising tour. Moore spoke with the press before going onstage. "We're here to invite, those of you who have not voted in the past, to give voting a try. You hold the power in your hands, you are the largest political power in the country," said Moore.
People couldn't wait to see Moore. There were Bush bashers, liberals, and diehard Democrats. Jonathan Bartholomew said, "He's reinvigorated the left, given us something more to fight about." Lafayette Williams, an ONU law student said, "We feel he has a philosophy that's very supportive of the liberal philosophy, the democratic philosophy." Helen Anderson said, "I think it's wonderful, it's a great turnout for Toledo."
Many fans said they wanted to find out more about his controversial film, Fahrenheit 9-11. Joe Walker said, "Me personally, I like the film he had Fahrenheit 9-11, I thought it was a good film." And almost everyone agreed with Moore's drive to defeat President Bush. Paul Sagert said, "I think going to war was a big mistake, a waste of money. We could do so much good for Americans, rather than spending all this money for nonsense."
Political activist, Gloria Steinem was also at Monday's rally, along with comedienne Roseanne Barr and Tom Morello from the rock group, Rage Against the Machine.
This isn't the last time Moore will be in Northwest Ohio. Moore says he will spend half of November 2nd with film crews in Ohio documenting election day 2004, the other half will be spent in Florida. He wants to make sure voters are not turned away at the polls.
