A New Approach???

Dear Friends,

Perhaps this interruption of a President Obama fundraiser is the approach that we should take to get candidate Obama instead of President Obama.  Here is the link to the article about the incident.  The interruption was done respectfully, and I would hope that it made an impact.  Here is the video of the song:



It is hard to hear the words of the song, so here they are:

Dear Mr. President we honor you today sir
Each of us brought you $5,000
It takes a lot of Benjamins to run a campaign
I paid my dues, where's our change?
We'll vote for you in 2012, yes that's true
Look at the Republicans - what else can we do
Even though we don't know if we'll retain our liberties
In what you seem content to call a free society
Yes it's true that Terry Jones is legally free
To burn a people's holy book in shameful effigy
But at another location in this country
Alone in a 6x12 cell sits Bradley
23 hours a day is night
The 5th and 8th Amendments say this kind of thing ain't right
We paid our dues, where's our change?

I am not sure that I want to pay $5,000, but there will be less expensive fundraisers.  I also do not like the idea of paying people to protest, but we need to find a way to get our message to President Obama.
