Vote for Change Tour
 

MoveOn PAC is sponsoring a Vote for Change Tour. There is a lot of great artists in the line up such as Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, Dave Matthews Band, Pearl Jam, R.E.M., The Dixie Chicks, John Mellencamp, Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt, James Taylor, Babyface, Death Cab for Cutie, Ben Harper, Jurassic 5, My Morning Jacket, Keb' Mo' and Bright Eyes.

I'm just excited because Pearl Jam will be in Kissimmee on Oct. 8!!!!!!!!! You can sign up on the website to be part of the presale list. You just have to be willing to get emails from MoveOn (might not be good for those who are Republican but just want to go to the concerts ;) ). Although the schedule is tentative, as of now it looks like they're only hitting the Midwest plus Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Florida.

i read about this in this mornings paper and it made me sad that i live in a state that's already decided because then i don't get any of these concerts.

Haha. I live in a swing state. :p

wow. i guess maybe that's why texas isn't on there??? i'm sad too now.

Yeah, it looks like they chose some of the Swing States to tour. I guess this would be the only reason that it's good Florida isn't completely Democratic. :p

what i read htis morning was that they were only doing it in swing states.

Hehe, me too! :) Reading isn't too far from here, and I would loooooove to see Pearl Jam, but I can't really afford to go to any concerts right now. (The Springsteen/REM show would be awesome, too!)

Yeah, I live in a blue state. We're not getting any election funtimes.

My state is pretty solidly blue too. I'd have loved to see one of these shows though!
