COLUMBUS, Ohio - Liberal filmmaker Michael Moore plans to have hundreds of cameras outside polling places in Ohio and Florida on Election Day to watch for attempts to suppress voter turnout.

The director of the anti-Bush documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11" announced Saturday that a total of 1,200 professional and nonprofessional cameramen, filmmakers and videographers will bring their cameras to polling places in the two presidential battleground states, especially in minority communities.

"I'm putting those who intend to suppress the vote on notice: Voter intimidation and suppression will not be tolerated," Moore said in a statement.



Vote it a *5*

11. I thought about that. I hate to think that Repukes would resort
to physically harming someone, but just in case, I got the spray! (With dye in it, to they'll be easier to locate)

15. Is Moore paying you are is it volunteer effort.
I hope people stand by with videos in Georgia and Tennessee and many other states as well. I'm sure there will be voter intimidation scattered all across the nation.

4. Yeah, baby! Bless Michael Moore.
What an amazing help he has been in the fight against the Bush tyranny. He is truly unique and has really done something he can be proud of (a lot of somethings, actually).
