Moore's Movie a Religious Experience

•  
• by: Mike Collins

I saw the movie tonight at a special showing at the Chez Artiste. Mr. Moore has done it again, he has taken pure, unadulterated truth and made it an art form. Moore expressed a desire to become a priest in his early days, I think he became one for all intents and purposes. Bravo, Mr. Moore, you are a priest/Rabbi/holy man in every sense of the word, you are a great credit to the human race.

Moore gave Representative Marcy Kaptur a prominent role in explaining what is so wrong with America, she and Representative Jan Schakowsky are the two greatest members of the 111th Congress.  Sorry, Representive DeGette.

Biography  

Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur, who represents Northern Ohio’s Ninth Congressional District , is currently serving her fourteenth term in the U.S. House of Representatives. She is the senior-most woman in the 111th Congress.

Training & Education

Congresswoman Kaptur, of Polish-American heritage with humble, working class roots, mirrors the bootstrap nature of her district. Her family operated a small grocery where her mother worked after serving on the original organizing committee of an auto trade union at the Champion Spark Plug Company. Congresswoman Kaptur became the first member of her family to attend college, receiving a scholarship for her undergraduate work. Trained as a city and regional planner, she practiced 15 years in Toledo and throughout the country.  Appointed as an urban advisor to the Carter White House, she helped maneuver 17 housing and neighborhood revitalization bills through the Congress during those years.

Subsequently, while pursuing a doctorate in urban planning and development finance at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the local Democratic Party recruited her to run for the U.S. House seat in 1982. Kaptur had been a well-known party activist and volunteer since age 13. Although she was outspent by a 3-to-1 margin, she parlayed her deep roots in the blue-collar neighborhoods of Toledo and the rural areas of the district to pull the national upset of 1982.
