Promote John Mellencamp's Protest Song "To Washington"
John Mellencamp has released a protest song called "To Washington". It's more than just a war protest song -- it's protesting the whole chain of events that led Bush and us to this point. The lyrics are below.

I suggest that peace activists do what they can to get this song played on their local radio stations, as well as Internet stations, record stores, and wherever else. The bigger vision would be to try and get the song to number one on the charts, and keep it there.

Here are the lyrics of "To Washington" --you can listen to the song at John's website, or just download it right here. (Right-click and choose "Save Target As..." or a similar option).

To Washington

Eight years of peace and prosperity
Scandal in the White House
An election is what we need
From coast-to-coast to Washington

So America voted on a president
No one kept count
On how the election went
From Florida to Washington

Goddamn, said one side
And the other said the same
Both looked pretty guilty
But no one took the blame
From coast-to-coast to Washington

So a new man in the White House
With a familiar name
Said he had some fresh ideas
But it's worse now since he came
From Texas to Washington

And he wants to fight with many
And he says it's not for oil
He sent out the National Guard
To police the world
From Baghdad to Washington

What is the thought process
To take a humans life
What would be the reason
To think that this is right
From heaven to Washington
From Jesus Christ to Washington
