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:

I'd go if it was to support nuke the whales. Your right buddy, we have changed. I would go if supported McSame, only I would promise not to enjoy it. Now I get good music and support a good cause!

I remember your choice for president in one of your former posts on the site - Paris Hilton.
Kind of hard to take anything you say very seriously here with that depth in politics.

If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite.

Floppy, you're not right!

Have you seen the polls? Obama does not in any way, shape, or form have the election in the bag. We all need to do what we can to support his campaign so we don't end up with McSame as president!!

Happy Valley will be Hippie Valley

Man, the people of State College are not used to the scene that is coming on that Monday, that is for sure. It will be a very interesting day/night.

i would also like to hope that obama could lead a movement to turn this country around,
but my cynical side thinks that sarah palin is the "logical" successor to george w to lead babylon down to its own destruction...

man.... i wish i could be there

NOBAMA

Politics is the wise management of justice, resources, power; justice is food on your table, roof over head, clothes on your back, health care, educational opportunities and other things that help one to realize the rights and responsibilities of citizenship. The same number of Americans without health care during this administration equal to those who were without health care during the Clinton administration, 40,000,000. If we took the money spent on indigent care and used it to help the underemployed buy premiums, the problem would disappear. Ninety-five, (95%) of Americans are working, five percent are unemployed. What you fail to address is that less that two percent of the population control 95% of the wealth and they are not all Republicans. If Sen. Obama is elected for eight years, in 2016, unemployment will vacillate between four and six percent; abortion vis-a-vis, Roe v. Wade will still be toxic to the unborn. Human reproduction is a natural occurring phenomena; it is neither legal nor illegal. Forty five percent of the households will earn less that $35,000 per year. We will have spent xxxxx number of dollars on education, affirmative action and other statutory guarantees without measurable results. Before you challenge that remember that after 36 years of set asides, that is three generations have gone through k-12 and a parity of academic and economic remain elusive. As far as Obama is concerned: his father is from Kenya where during the 1950's the Mau Mau uprising against Dutch colonialism freed the country. Jomo Kenyatta went to jail for eight years and they later named the country after him. Many of my class mates were from Kenya atr that time and I know their stories. Barrack Hussain Obama lived in Indonesia as a young lad; Indonesia is the largest Muslim country on earth. His mother was married to an Indonesian and he has a sister from that marriage. President Bush served honorably in the U. S. Air Force; he has a DD214. Military people know what I mean. Sen. Kerry took pictures of himself running through the jungles carrying a rifle. Most officers do not carry rifles. Grunts do that. There have been two presidents in my lifetime who did not serve in the military, W. J. Clinton and FDR. If you are going to give orders; you must first learn to take orders. We do not become adults first; we learn how to obey and then we teach our off-springs. The funny part is that Barrack Hussian Obama played on a state championship basketball team in Hawaii

obedience sucks
