President Obama to Detroit Voters: "Go Vote and Take a Friend to the Polls Tuesday" - IUNT

"President Barack Obama made a pre-election day rally stop Saturday, November 1 speaking to a robust crowd upwards to 10,000 supporters at Wayne State University.

The President during the visit rallied for voters to support Congressman Gary Peters vying for the U.S. Senate, Michigan Democratic Gubernatorial candidate Mark Schauer and Attorney Godfrey Dillard quest to win the states' Secretary of State position.

Making the case on why Michigan is important for Democrats quest to maintain the U.S. Senate and overturn damage done in 2010 when 900,000 voters stayed home, resulting in Republicans taking over the Governor, Secretary of State, Attorney General, both legislative chambers and the State Supreme Court.

President Obama urged attendees to "Go vote and take a friend to the polls on Tuesday," November 4.

"The same folks that asked us to throw in the towel on Michigan six years ago are now asking for your vote," President Obama told the large Motorcity crowd.

"When you step into that voting booth, you are making not just making a choice about candidates and parties, but making about two different visions of what America's is about And it boils down to a simple question: who is on your side, whose going to fight for you."
