Something that affects us all

[FatVin]

I bring this up at the risk of being nailed as a cross poster but I think it's importanat enough to bend a rule. Ron, Jim Please let me slide on this.

In the LAW topic there is a discussion of issues that affect every musician in PA, I ask you to reveiw it. But to summerize, there are laws on the books here in PA that need changing, I think we're all in agreement on that. These laws need to be changed, I've tried to get the attention of our state lawmakers to no avail so here's what I'm thinkin. We need new lawmakers, it's that simple.

a single dedicated state legislator isn't gonna do it. We need to get at least two. 2004 is an election year. We need to use our abilities to draw crowds to our advantage. Now I've been brushed off and blown off by most of the State reps in this area. Yeah once in a while I'll get a sit down with a staffer and they cluck their toungues but very little if anything gets done.

What If two things happen, first, what if, we musicians go shopping for a state rep or state senatorial canidate who will understand what we need to happen, what if we work for that canidate, play fund raising shows, encourage voting on stage etc, and Second, what if we talk to our brother musicians in other parts of the state and they do the same.

We humble musicians have the power to get this done but we need to dedicate ourselves to the task. What do you think?

Vin,
Got my voter registration in the mail last week and I'm ready to put it to use.
Do you have any promising candidates in mind?

[FatVin]

If I did believe me I would make it public, let me get back to you on that and if anybody knows how to get a hold of the local GOP or demo kingpin, I would appreciate the info


I'll get back to you soon

Hey Vin I'm in.. Most of the law I don't like anyway so if there's a way to help change it i'm in! Being a frontman with a BIG MOUTH can sometimes be a GREAT tool
