YES! . . . John Hall is running for Congress in my district . . .

[OneBlueSky]

against the useless Republican Sue Kelly! . . . founding member of the band Orleans, Hall has the support of my friend Pete Seeger, as well as other musicians like Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Browne and Graham Nash . . .

I saw John perform at a No Nukes demonstration against the Seabrook plant in New Hampshire somewhere around 1978 or so . . . Pete Seeger and Tom Rush were also there . . . he's written some great environmental songs, and I'll be pleased to support him any way I can . . .

A Message from Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Browne, and Graham Nash


Dear Friend,


Our longtime friend, fellow No Nukes/MUSE artist, John Hall, whom you
may also remember as a leader of Orleans (Dance With Me, Still the One)
is running for Congress in the 19th District of upstate New York. John's
been a lifelong activist and right out of the starting gate, is emerging
as a very welcome and successful candidate in debates and testing so
far. He's up against a very tough contender, the six-term incumbent
Republican (and Tom DeLay crony) Rep. Sue Kelly, and of course needs to
raise as much money as possible early in this primary race.


A bunch of us MUSE folks and other music industry friends have already
lent our support and I'm writing to ask if you would consider
contributing to help get John Hall elected. John is extremely smart,
articulate, committed and in our minds, would absolutely bring a much
needed fresh and clearheaded voice to our muddled political quagmire.
Please spread the word if you agree and thank you so much for your
support.


You can check out his positions and background at
http://www.johnhallforcongress .com/, contribute on line at
http://www.actbl ue.com/page/johnhallforcongress/ or send your
contributions to "John Hall For Congress," PO Box 377, Dover Plains, NY
12522.


As you may know the limit for personal contributions during the
primary period is $2100 (MARCH 31st is the end of the 1st Quarter FEC
filing period so act quickly please), and an additional $2100 may be
sent to his General Election Escrow Account, which will be returned with
interest if he does not win the nomination.


We think it's fantastic that John has decided to set aside his music
career for the time being and dedicate himself to politics for the
better of us all.


Thank you for your support. We can make a difference,
Bonnie Raitt, Graham Nash and Jackson Browne




P.S. Any amount that you contribute will help. If 2000 people send $50
each, John's campaign will receive a $100,000 boost. This will keep him
in the game to carry the message of peace and diplomacy, economic
justice, government and corporate accountability, healthcare for all,
environmental protection and alternative energy.
