Dear Michael,

With your Congressman retiring there is an opportunity for you to go to Washington and provide much needed leadership.

You have been a strong advocate for working people, a leading voice for justice, and someone who doesn't back down from powerful interest groups.

We, the undersigned, encourage you to take your fight to the halls of Congress. What better place for you to fight for the workers losing their jobs in Flint, to fight for universal health care, to fight corporate greed and to stand up to the gun lobby.

Your films have shed light on many injustices; you have been a strong voice of the people. Take the next step and represent us in Congress.
