I just donated to the Obama campaign because of one of my favorite musicians.

No, not Bon Jovi or Bruce Springsteen, I'm not a fan of either. Because of Jeff Beccera.

Jeff is the lead singer/songwriter for the Thrash Metal band Possessed. He was shot and paralyzed by an L.A. gang member back in the 90's and he knows how important President Obama's health care plan is for those that have little or no means to pay for medical coverage.

He has set up a grassroots donation page for the President and has set a modest goal of $200. I've thrown in $10.

Maybe we can help him reach his goal and let people know that imbeciles like Dave Mustaine do NOT represent the Metal community.

Even if you can't/won't donate, the message can still be sent by spreading the donation page.

Btw, wheelchair and all, Jeff still rocks.

6. You're not the only one...

To donate because of a favorite musician. Here's a post from Danny Amis' (of Los Straitjackets) webpage:

As many of you know, 2 years ago I was diagnosed with Cancer
(Multiple Myeloma) forcing me to stop working and touring.
I had been denied health insurance so I was caught uninsured at the time.
In the nick of time President Obama signed the Affordable Care Act into law
and I was then permitted to buy my own health insurance.
Prior to being insured I couldn't receive the treatment I needed, and the
cancer left my spine badly damaged. (I'm actually 4 inches shorter now)
I certainly would have died without my Obamacare, but instead
the cancer is now under control. I'm forever grateful for that.

7. Excellent.

It's good to see musicians tapping into their fans to make a difference.

[MrSlayer]

8. One shameless kick.

$25 short of the $200.

9. ......

I am too poor to donate ....but I did ...for Jeff.
For my children.
My grandchildren.
For me.
For you.
For all of us.

We are all as one.

Thank you, MrSlayer.
