Nice poster!

i'm certainly rooting Obama, but it strikes me as a little strange that musicians are donating their time to raise money for politicians that are millionaires themselves and who have already raised hundreds of millions of dollars.... I know it's the way things work today, and I'm not criticizing anybody involved with this, but I'd love to see the day a political candidate holds a fundraising rally for local musicians.

I second that, Sam!! Perhaps the PMF could become the Musician's Lobby!!

Thanks Dan. However, just to be clear (in case the IRS is watching), the PMF can actually engage in exactly zero lobbying efforts. It violates the rules of being a 501c3 non-profit organization. We can't espouse any official political opinions on behalf of the organization. 

If someone wants to form a musician's rights PAC (political action committee, essentially a sanctioned lobbying organization), I would certainly donate to the cause...

A little bit of shameless self-promotion. Here are my photos from the event: http://flickr.com/photos/samuelcousins/sets/72157607926453165/show/

As for a musician's PAC, there's a lot of groups out there already, but that's a can of worms for another thread...
