8. Pete Seeger.............
is our own Nelson Mandela. He was black-listed and shunned - only to be discovered as being a TRUE AMERICAN - never stopped loving his country - no matter how he was treated.
We owe him SO much! :patriot: :patriot:

10. Done! With pleasure!
I don't do a lot of online petitions because I don't know how many of them are taken seriously. This is one on which I will take a chance!

Thanks for the link!

His music, and others like him, were the reason I started playing the guitar and singing. I STILL play/sing it.

14. One of our DUer friends knows Pete and has played gigs w/him.
That good lefty DUer came to my rescue after a severe personal catastrophe. I owe him my life. :hug: Told me that Pete is one of the kindest and sweetest people he knows.

16. Billy Burnett
He's out on tour right now, but he hangs around the Labor and Latin America forums. He's been to Cuba quite a few times and knows how the democratic processes there work. Woody and Pete are his heroes.

Billy and his family are amazing contributers with their charitable works.

I recently lost my S.O., and Billy pulled me out from the deepest depths of darkness. I owe him and his fam my life.

19. Done
If a revolution comes to my country
Let me remember now
Old dollar bill, you won't mean much
I better learn right now
What in life has true value
And, oh, if we'd only learn to share
There'd be no more need for revolution
Oh, hear the thunder. . .

If a revolution comes to my country
Let me remember now.

Words & Music by Pete Seeger (1971)
