FF encourages All Bands to turn All their shows this next month into Pro-Health Care Reform Rallies.

Perhaps even more importantly: FF encourages all those American music websites to ask all their favorite bands to turn their shows into Pro-Health Care Reform Rallies!

Why not make sure the world knows that all of us true grandmother-loving, pro-American, 'young people' haven't given up our political involvement?

They think that us 'young people' (so to speak...) don't care anymore, you know. That we have we have retreated to our caves, or communes, or moms' basements, or new condos in the 11222, or...whatevs.

Show them that it's not true! (And there's a good chance that you don't have health insurance to begin with.....)

Sure, we can disagree on the details. But Patriotic American Rock-n-Roll Fans--and bands----and Music Websites--must surely agree that our nation is in desperate need of health care reform.

We can't sit, or stand, or drive, idly by while the most outrageous lies get told in the most offensive manner.

Why not have some information at your merch table, letting people know how they can support health care reform? Why not put someone on your guest list who can talk to people about how they can support health care reform? Why not mention that sort of thing from the stage, in the midst of one of your charming in-between-song monologues?

Web-sites: why not ask all those bands to do that sort of thing? Right up until September 8th, when Congress comes back in session.

Why, just think of how much more fun for everyone it will be if an anti-reform mob, with all their swastika stickers and show-us-your-birth-certificate banners and joker make-up, come on down and picket the show? I mean, Rally!

What an easy way to expand your fan base!

Tell your managers and interns that you want to turn your show into a Pro-Health Care Reform Rally!

Websites: make them do it! (They do whatever you say, you know.)

I posted this as a bulletin to help spread the word. Thank you for being such a politically minded band! So many bands choose to be apolitical during the most important events of our times. Its about time that everyone takes notice with so much at stake. Don't drive to Dallas, drive to a Pro-health care reform rally near you!!!!
