This morning Robert Redford came to Cleveland to speak to about 250 MoveOn volunteers. MoveOn brought him here to thank and motivate local precinct leaders and volunteers working with the Leave No Voter Behind project.
Redford (who looked great, BTW -- much better than he did in that movie a couple of years ago with Brad Pitt) was low-key, yet powerful. He said some harsh things about the Bush administration and reminded us, "this is your country, not theirs." He told us that Ohio would be flooded this week with Bushies, and we have to get out and there and counter it because "they will lie, they will cheat, they will do anything to get elected." (and no -- he didn't say RE-elected!)
It's my understanding that Redford will be visiting other MoveOn target cities in the coming days to thank volunteers there. Kudos to him and to MoveOn for giving the troops this kind of motivational perk!
