The Terminator made his way to Michigan this weekend to stump for Proposal 2, telling a crowd of enthusiastic supporters it's time to "terminate gerrymandering."

During a rally hosted in downtown East Lansing ahead of the Michigan State University-University of Michigan football game, actor and former Republican governor Arnold Schwarzenegger said it's easy for him to destroy enemies in the movies, but that taking care of a real-life political issue like gerrymandering is a lot harder.

"This is the real world," he said. "This is a real battle."

Schwarzenegger, who said he paused filming of his latest Terminator movie to visit Michigan ahead of the November midterms, praised Voters Not Politicians founder Katie Fahey and other volunteers for realizing there was an issue and stepping up to try and fix the problem.

"It's easy to complain, but then to go up and say, 'I'm going to do something about it' - that's what she did," he said, referring to Fahey. "I'm so proud that all of you are here today."

Proposal 2, backed by the group Voters Not Politicians, would create an independent commission in Michigan to draw the lines of Michigan's state and federal political districts.

The plan would amend the Michigan Constitution to create a 13-member independent redistricting commission in time for the next round of redistricting following the 2020 census.

The commission would be made up of five independents, four Democrats and four Republicans. The proposal placed several restrictions on who can be selected in an attempt to fully separate redistricting from the political process, which is currently controlled by the state Legislature.

Schwarzenegger, who is known for his work as a bodybuilder, actor and as former governor of California, is playing off his famous role in the "Terminator" franchise to support changes to the redistricting process in states throughout the country.

In addition to backing the Voters Not Politicians initiative in Michigan, Schwarzenegger's fundraising efforts extend to supporting changes to the redistricting process in Missouri, Colorado and Utah.

As governor of California, he backed efforts to revamp the state's redistricting process via ballot proposal, telling the East Lansing crowd that it took several tries, but that persistence eventually paid off.

Schwarzenegger isn't Proposal 2's only high-profile supporter. This week, actress Jennifer Lawrence endorsed the proposal in a video for the group Represent Michigan:
