"Minnesota" video - an anti-war protest song. - July 3, 2008

Dear Listeners:

I wrote a song. Surprise, right? Well this is an anti-war song. It's a protest song. It's a campaigning song for Barack Obama. It's a folk song.

I think it's a little dark but ultimately uplifiting. Like America. Happy 4th!

To be clear, "that's the change we need, Minnesota" was the "chorus" of Obama's speech in Minnesota the night he won the nomination.

Thanks to www.yomamaforobama.com for much of the imagery.

Please share this link with everyone!!
