Rock Against Bush

On Monday evening, you have a chance to see an unprecedented musical and political event that will never be repeated again. Some of the most talented American musicians of the last 20 years will share the stage at the Vote for Change grand finale concert -- Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, Bonnie Raitt, R.E.M., Jackson Browne, the Dixie Chicks, Pearl Jam, and Dave Matthews Band among others. MoveOn PAC is presenting this amazing tour (proceeds go to ACT), and people nation-wide are hosting house parties where MoveOn members can watch together.

At these parties, we'll gather strength for the final push and get some important work done. At the parties, we'll each handwrite a few letters to swing state voters -- an integral part of our Leave No Voter Behind field program.

There won't be a DVD or a television re-run -- this is your only chance to see these musicians perform together. The concert will air Monday evening on the Sundance Channel. If you have more than 60 cable channels or a satellite dish, you have Sundance, and we hope you'll consider hosting a party. Not all of our members have Sundance, but they really want to see this concert.

Before the show, we'll hold a special nationwide conference call to hear a message from Bruce Springsteen and other musicians. If you're going to host a party, you'll need a speakerphone or, better, a computer with speakers and high-speed cable or DSL Internet. If you don't have this, you can team up with a friend or neighbor. If you'll be a guest, we'll ask you to bring snacks or help clean up afterwards.

As we enjoy the music, we'll each write a few personal letters to voters in swing states who are undecided or unsure they'll make it to the polls. All the research shows the best way to motivate someone is to invest time in a personal contact. This increases people's commitment to vote. Handwritten letters are a powerful way to share why this election matters so much to us.

Monday's show will be politically potent, and it will also be a seminal moment in the history of rock and roll. Rock speaks to the heart and soul of American ideals. You won't get another chance to hear America's most respected musicians as they call upon our noblest dreams. An election concert like this has never happened before, and we hope the MoveOn community can be part of it.

Would you like to attend a house party and join one of the most exciting events of this election?

We hope you'll be there on Monday!

Sincerely,

--Adam, Eli, Hannah, James, Laura, and the whole MoveOn PAC Team
