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. Additionally, the show will be a very large voter outreach opportunity for the Pennsylvania Obama campaign, which has already built the largest volunteer-based campaign in Pennsylvania’s history. The campaign has more than 70 field offices and thousands of volunteers preparing for an unprecedented Get Out the Vote operation. There are now more than 1 million more Democrats in the state than Republicans, an increase of 500,000 since 2004.
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:

This looks like a great lineup and will be a good show. However, no matter how good the music will be, the cause wouldn't put me within 100 miles of this show.
Oh Brother...
Fund Raiser for Obama? Because $22 million dollars a month is not enough? This will be like taking water to the ocean. Why don't they raise money for people who need it, or just keep it, Obama damn sure doesn't need it.
Not this one...
If Barak Obama is there, can you imagine the Secret Service presence?
the best party favors were always backstage though...
so stoked
gonna be off the chain! See yall down the line
Floppy....
Like the money goes into Barack's pocket. Sheeeesh....
It goes to the campaign - and he DOES need every penny. Unfortunately, that's the nature of the beast. Sometimes you have to play the game to win, brother.

greatest attributes is they were never political, I guess the passing of Jerry has changed this starting back with rock the vote in 2004 and now support for Obama. As good as the show will probably be, less the political comments, if it was in my backyard here in Portland, Or, I would be somewhere else.Like another poster said Obama does not need it.
