For the past few weeks, I have been building a widget to help artists/musicians talk politics to their fan base. The project is called “Be The Change” and is being run by myself and fellow members of the PAC, Music For Democracy. The Political Action Committee is a partisan group whose aim is to help artists speak out to their fans about politics.
Music For Democracy’s more immediate goal is to ensure Obama gets elected. People who sign up for the widget will get a call from an artist of their choice on election day reminding them to vote. They will also be entered in a competition to receive a live call from their favorite artist.
Our widget creates a political communication channel between artists and fans. This is not only great for getting Obama elected, but also a great way for fans to hear about artists’ opinions on political issues year-round. Engaging people in politics is very beneficial to our nation.
To get politically connected with your favorite artists, sign up on my widget below by clicking “Do It” and filling out the information. You can really make a difference and help Obama get elected by using our awesome SHARE feature. This feature helps you embed this widget on most social networks and easily email your friends to get them involved. Get involved and Be The Change!
Update (12/04/08): Now that the election is over, I am removing the actual widget from my blog and posting a screen shot. Feel free to shoot me any questions you have about the actual widget.

I am interested in more information on “Be the Change”. I have a web radio political news show called “Reflections” and I think our listening audience would be interested in hearing more information about your group and its progress. Please contact me at soybean63@yahoo.com. or call 803.556.4916. Thanks.
