Ann Romney to join TV special with Michelle Obama to get out the vote

Source: The Hill

Sen. Mitt Romney’s (R-Utah) wife Ann will join former first lady Michelle Obama on a prime-time special encouraging voting this month.

The two are both slated to appear on ABC’s Sept. 14 hourlong “VOMO: Vote Or Miss Out” special. The program is a joint production of Michelle Obama’s nonprofit When We All Vote as well as ATN and production company Sara + Tom.

“We have a societal responsibility to participate in our country’s democracy,” producer Tom Werner told the Salt Lake Tribune. “This nonpartisan special will, through comedy, encourage people to vote this November.”

“We hope that we can create an event that will speak to all generations, young and old,” ATTN: co-founder Matthew Segal said.

Democrats and moderate Republicans are putting their differences aside to get things done.
Those who are left on the far right are not patriots or even good citizens.

than Donald Trump. Trump has his trumpublican cult, but honest republicans (I know, oxymoron) see Trump for who and what he is.

Michelle Obama is one awesome lady and the only problem with Ann Romney is the political party she has chosen. It is refreshing to see how many of the Republicans are doing things right along with the Democrats.

Meanwhile, mrs. Trump will be doing her speech trying to curb bullying and stating that the American people deserve a president who doesn't lie to them. She's a joke.

They are not, however, opponents of our democracy. Hats off to them!

There's a photo of them together in 2007 in the Axios version of this story?
