BOSTON - The unabashed firebrand Howard Dean and the say-it-as-he-sees-it filmmaker Michael Moore continued to hammer on a theme of political involvement and commitment Tuesday during a rally organized by the Campaign for American's Future.
Dean implored people to go beyond the Nov. 2 ballot box and get involved in politics.
