Mitt Romney might want to keep an eye out for the senior citizens of America.
In a new pro-Obama ad produced by well known liberal filmmaker Michael Moore for MoveOn.org, several elderly people express the importance of not only voting – but voting for President Obama.

“My first vote was in 1940 for Franklin D. Roosevelt and I have not missed an election since,” says 97-year-old Marie. “I want the Republican party to know, if your voter suppression throughout this beautiful country enables Romney to oust Barack Obama, we will burn this motherf—er down.”
Adds Dorothi, 75: “If the Republicans steal this election, I’m going to track down Mitt Romney and give him the world’s biggest c-ck punch… right in the nut sack.”
As for 85-year-old WWII vet John — he makes a creepy promise for the afterlife. Watch below.

The ad aims to encourage eligible voters to get to the polls, pointing viewers to VotersRising.org, where they can donate or sign up to volunteer with MoveOn. In a note on the site, the organization claims that Romney and Paul Ryan “want to destroy Medicare, cut taxes for the rich, and take us back into a recession.”
The ad comes following a reported scam in which elderly voters received false calls informing them that they could vote early by phone and did not need to go to a polling place on Election Day. According to the Associated Press, a handful of elderly people in Florida that had requested absentee ballots said that they were visited by unknown individuals claiming to be authorized to collect their ballots.
