As politically active performers in New York City, we are all very excited to lend our support,¨ said Nina Goldman, a spokesperson for Voices for Change. These concerts will help fund Running For Change's canvassing operations. They are also an exciting way to get people involved and energized for grassroots activism, particularly in the all-important swing states, which will be crucial to determining who controls our government in the coming year.¨

Voices for Change is aligned with Concerts for Change, the successor to Concerts for Kerry, a grassroots group that organized 41 concerts in 12 cities raising $207,000 from over 9000 concertgoers. Concerts for Change will organize approximately 75 concerts at venues across America. These concerts will support John Kerry, help elect Democratic candidates, and mobilize swing state voters.

There are about 50 seats in that venue, so all of us meeting could prove difficult - or intimate...

Could I go just to see the performers?

(and bring my "Bush/Cheney 2004" sign? Yeah right, I'll never make it out alive)

If some of you guys end up going- have fun!

It is ok to have different political views, but when you call Democrats terrorists, that just makes you a sick, sick person.

cuuuuuuute icon, Bwaytheater11!

Hey, if he can call me a terrorist, I can call Bush a nazi. After all, he definitely wants to create a second class of citizen, he would love to increase his militaristic power through legislation that, once pushed through, will be hard to repeal...I envision a lovely America under a 2nd Bush term, defined by military-enforced curfews, id tags to mark you so that you can be traced everywhere you go...basically, Armageddon. :)

Hitler's biggest project was creating a pure race. I haven't seen Bush go there as of yet.

Hmmmm....

the only true ethnic cleansing, dare i say, genocide, being done in the world today is being done by muslims to muslims in darfur, sudan and once again since it's in africa and has nothing of value to anyone, no one is doing a f***ing thing about it. arab muslims killing african muslims wholesale. of course, that's only becuase they already killed of most of the christians and animists in the region a few years ago (and by a few i mean three or four).

the only people waging a genocidal war against muslims are muslim.

history will thank us for that. the iraqi people for the most part (and the polls done that show the support for the current government there at 75% were done by democrat pollsters) approve of what's been done and support the changes there. but hey, who wouldn't prefer a country where they can speak out againts the government and not disappear in the middle of the nigyht to be tortured to death. the fact that sistani left for london during this latest "uprising" is proof that the shi'a are washing their hands of the fat little firebrand and things will be looking up soon.

---

Papa, for all of our sakes, I hope you are right. The problem, as is the problem in many cases, is that a very strong group can certainly alter appearances or continue to create problems. Witness the continued violence against our military there by "pockets of resistance." We certainly made our bed and have to lie in it now as the government we're putting into place would collapse tomorrow if we left...but I hope to God we leave soon and never go back.

Jeeeeez, people. Lighten up.

Life is a cabaret, old chum. Come to the cabaret
