I'll keep this quick, because it really speaks for itself. I just stumbled upon an incredible video of Senator Barack Obama's "Yes We Can" speech crossed with simultaneous musical interpretations and emotional readings of the speech. It is hard to explain exactly what is happening, but it is powerful.

Just take a look:

I'll update this quick diary as we come up with a complete list of who is lending support to Senator Obama through this piece of art.

Cheers!

And please recommend! I shouldn't have posted this in the dead of night, it deserves to be seen.

EDIT: ABC story on will.i.am deciding to get involved:

EDIT2: There was an earlier diary, but it didn't have the main link, thanks Hope08!

There is an awesome song which can be downloaded free on iTunes Music Store by Conor Oberst under the band name Bright Eyes. This young man has been compared to all of the big singer-songwriters and is definitely worth hearing. Furthermore, the lyrics are hillariously scary (and in the extended entry). Bright Eyes played the Vote for Change tour and are definitely worth a quick, free download.

Win Back Respect has a new ad out which I feel is just devastating. Hopefully this ad can be well funded and put into heavy rotation. I, a broke college student, found a way to give them $25 and I hope others can as well. Take a look for yourselves, and send this link around. This ad is worth it. -Ben

Please see below entry for my introduction to the Rapid Response.

Question #10:

Mr. Bush, We all know SS is running out of money. You have said you will fix it by allowing people to put some money in private savings accounts. Some have estimated this will cost up to 1 trillion dollars.

Welcome to question five. Thanks for taking a look. What I'm doing in coordination with other outstanding members of the Kos community is posting the exact question text along with the important facts, numbers, lies and distortions in the answer. This should give the activist members of the community (should be all of us!) the ammo we need to counter the spin machine that is BC04. Please comment and hotlist! This is an excellent place to do contructive work framing our response to this specific question. Post your excitment on the main page. Also, if you want to help out, we still need people. Please go to the Rapid Response Main Diary:

Kos Debate Rapid Response Team

Thanks so much, and I'll be updating this once this show gets on the road!

Question #5:

Senator Kerry, Back to jobs. Many experts say Presidents have no control on job creation. Is it fair to blame the administration for the job losses?

This is important enough to start my own diary. Everyone needs to take a few mintes and check out

http://www.slambush.net

I feel a little out of touch saying this, but apparently there was a pretty extensive contest to write the best lyrics bashing Bush in a standard rap "battle." Many of the entries are absolutely genius, and the winning spoken word poetry is beautiful.

Also, there is an amazing piece of video which splices one of the best raps with footage of Bush smirking from the first debate. The video can be found at

http://www.slambush.net/video/index.html

Everyone should take a look, contribute if you can, and if you're in a position to suggest an advertisment concept -- take a real close look.

Thanks for reading, and please reccomend this diary, everyone (regardless of musical taste!) should expand their horizons with Slam Bush!
