Arnold Schwarzenegger and Politics


Recommended Posts

Movie star, body builder, Mr. Universe, activist. You know his movies.They?re too numerous to list. But did you know Arnold Schwarzenegger served for many years as the Chairman of President?s Council on Physical Fitness under Bush 41 and on the California Governor?s Council on Fitness? A crusader for physical fitness, he?s long been associated with the Special Olympics and the The Inner City Games. He?s also been rumored as a gubernatorial candidate in California.

He?s got a new gig and he?s putting his money where his mouth is. He?s kicked in $1 million of his own money into a California initiative for after-school programs. Proposition 49 will ?provide grants to schools to create after school programs that keep kids safe, provide recreational opportunities, and educational enrichment.? He?s even running statewide ads touting the initiative.

Another cool thing you should know: Arnold is related to this network by marriage. His wife is NBC?s own Maria Shriver

We?ll talk to the ?Terminator? about his latest crusade, life in Hollywood, the war on terror and his political future... Hasta la vista, Baby.

The show will air live at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT from Chapman University in Orange, California.

Actually he's been a big Republican supporter and activist long before he married into the Democratic Kennedy family. You guys need to get out more often ;)

No kidding, Arnold has been active in politics since his Conan days.

He's a hardcore Republican (even though he's part of the Kennedy clan now), and is probably more active in politics than good old Chuch Heston.

Go Arnold!
