    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.

The campaign has more than 70 field offices and thousands of volunteers preparing for an unprecedented Get Out the Vote operation.

    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:

    It's hilarious that you use "Hussein" many times in there - trying to push the fact that Obama must be some sort of "terrible Muslim." This man is where he is because he's been publicly & privately vetted by Democrats, Republicans and the Media. Osama Bin Laden he isn't. Stop the hate. President Bush served honorably in the Air Force? You MUST be talking about George HW Bush, 'cause the current moron did not. Senator McCain lost FIVE planes while serving and the last one got him caught. So? Who cares? Not me. Finally, the "facts" you spew (45% of families will be earning less than $35k/year?! What planet are you living on?!) are completely incorrect. You state this stuff like you're the Secretary of the Interior. You are wrong. Look up every 3rd party study on BOTH economic plans (McCain's and Obama's) and you'll see how "bad off" families would be at the end of an 8-year term of each President. Obama will save more Americans more money over time. What YOU fail to realize is that there is life beyond Tucker Carlson. Wait a minute! Maybe you ARE Tucker Carlson. If THAT'S the case, there's life beyond bowties, dude. This isn't 1955 anymore and it never will be again. Get over it. Roe V Wade exists for a reason. Without it, the gov't is in control of your body...or your daughter's body. To overturn it would be a great travesty. There are MANY "Pro-Life"rs who are Pro-Choice. Most people who take the "Pro-Life" stance should ACTUALLY be called "Anti-Choice", rather than "Pro-Life." Read Obama's actual PLAN. It's quite apparent that you haven't. I don't think it'd sway you to vote for him (that's for sure!), but you may find out he's someone who cares a great deal about America and possesses a HUGE brain that he uses in his attempt to better this country. You spew an awful lot of hatred on a site that doesn't call for it. SO, I'm not gonna get into the 10-pg. McCain-bashing dissertation here. All I can say is that your facts are completely baseless. Thanks for your input, Tucker. ~ Pappy "Once in a while you can get shown the light in the strangest of places, if you look at it right." - Robert Hunter

    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

Lots will open on SUNDAY! This should mean there will be a serious Shakedown street! On the ticket front: "Some patrons had attempted to purchase more than the limit of two tickets. If you had created a second account and purchased another set of tickets, you should have been notified by Ticketmaster that your order was cancelled and money was credited back to your charge card. In the event that you received tickets or TicketFast emails on a cancelled order, NOTE THAT THE BARCODE HAS BEEN INVALIDATED AND WILL NOT ALLOW ENTRY INTO THE BUILDING. Patrons with cancelled tickets will be denied entry and information will be provided for the PA State Attorney General’s Office in the event they need to file a complaint regarding any tickets purchased on the secondary market (StubHub, eBay, TicketNetwork, etc)."
