13. Maybe we could have "Truth Aid" concerts or something like that.

Edited on Sat Nov-06-10 08:53 PM by Ken Burch

With people like Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, Steve Earle, John Mellencamp, and younger performers from the Red States who carry on their values.

Music helps a lot. So does comedy.

A non right-wing version of the "Blue Collar Comedy" tour would be a big help.
