US Dance Stars Mobilise Against Bush
US Dance Stars Mobilise Against Bush

Trance DJs Christopher Lawrence and BT have teamed up with Nine Inch Nails founder Chris Vrenna and Crystal Method producer Ken Jordan to lend their support to The Committee to Re-defeat the President.

All four electronic music stars appeared at a photo-shoot for the anti-George W voter registration group this week, which aims to register up to a million Democratic voters before November's Presidential elections.

"I support The Committee to Re-defeat the President because, like the name says, Bush lost the election, yet still became president," said Christopher Lawrence.

"Bush and his administration of hate and greed must be removed," he added.

Crystal Method main-man Ken Jordan agreed, declaring 'we are doing everything we can to get out the vote and to support (John) Kerry in November."

"It was bad enough having this guy (George W) win the presidency without winning the election but he is invading countries, he lies to the country, and worst of all he is just a neo-con puppet for the rich," said Ken.

Note to mods: I copied the whole story because it is not available on the Skrufff website, only on the newsletter... let me know if I should cut it down to 4 paragraphs.

Very anti-Bush. Have you seen the list of anti-Bush musicians? It's like 7 or 8 pages long.

and since I'm the webmaster for the promoters, I'll probably get the chance to meet him.

I don't think any of them will be helping Joe Biden, though ;)
