Rock Legends to Play Obama Fundraiser
The Pennsylvania Campaign for Change has just announced a Monday, October 13 concert fundraiser to benefit Obama for America featuring many Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees and other American music icons. Additionally, the show will be a very large voter outreach opportunity for the Pennsylvania Obama campaign, which has already built the largest volunteer-based campaign in Pennsylvania’s history. The campaign has more than 70 field offices and thousands of volunteers preparing for an unprecedented Get Out the Vote operation. There are now more than 1 million more Democrats in the state than Republicans, an increase of 500,000 since 2004.
Tickets will be available at 12:00 p.m. EDT on Friday, September 19, and are $50 for the general public and $30 for University Park students with a Pennsylvania State University ID. More ticket information is available online at:

All yours brothers
I was passed along a bit of info that made me not like this guy one bit, today actually. When I crossreferrenced it and found it to be true, I was pretty disapointed....It was actually pretty dispicable. I deffinately will NOT be support him now...and I still do not support the Dead using the name to support any politician.
Info, Floppy?
I'm sure Obama's not perfect. I'm sure he's done many things not to be proud of. But I'm really curious to know what that info is. Dispicable???

All you non political / republican dorks should shut up and reflect on the damage done by your:
o Apathy
o Greed
o Need to push your morals on others
What has become of the US.........
The Dead...
Supported causes. They never supported a politicians or divided alone party lines...The Dead were invited to play at the 1968 Democratic convention protests and they refused, to divisive.
Supporting stuff like clean water, clean air, rain forrest preservation is a far cry from supporting a whole sale political campain.
YaHooo!
Oh, baby! Oh, baby! OH, BABY!
It's right in my backyad, and tickets are only 50 bucks.. and the Alman Brothers Band be playing as well?
What a great night, and what a great time for all of us to share with each other!
As for all the republican nay sayers out there, and all those who say "Jerry wouldn't want this!"... I gotta say this: do you think Jerry would enjoy seing America in the state that it's in right now? Don't you think Jerry would want to do somethign to end the Bush's reign of terror? I do!

the "dead" aren't playing
notice this is billed as a group of individual musicians; no groups are playing...
love that weir finally comes first...
Hey Bamski
F**K OFF !!!
My, how we've changed over the years...
... Keep up the good work.
mandala's right
note that, whatever one's feelings about the Dead endorsing political candidates, the name appears nowhere with regard to this event. Surely no one is disputing the right of Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, Bill Kreutzmann and Mickey Hart to support whatever candidates their hearts desire in their own names.
