If it had been rap or hip hop or country music you would not have heard a peep out of the community. Powell is correct in that it was intended to showcase racial unity over a common cause and the fact that they chose local music to do so was all the more significant. Get off of your high horses and remember what Freedom of Speech is all about. Those who opposed this song/video are being childish and petty. If they wanted to make your own video, they are more than welcome to, as I'm sure the group that made this one would acknowledge. The right to support a political candidate through music does not stop with the, "You can't use that music because it's ours." This area is wonderfully diverse and culturally rich and that a group came together in a common cause should be applauded. If another group chooses to do the same, by all means use the medium of our wonderful music to do so also. It isn't your music, it isn't my music, it's our music. For once, can we be a country united as well as a state united. Pettiness is how we will fall apart as a country. Thank you for being a fine example of that! - C Richard Thu, 22 Jan 2009 15:46:47 +0100
