Please take 3 minutes of time to try to help oust Bush
http://www.michaelbishop.com/talkingpoints.htm

As some of you know, I am trying to raise awareness about my song "Talking Points" http://www.michaelbishop.com/files/Talking%20Points.mp3 which I believe can help unseat Bush, while at the same time open alot of peoples eyes to the propaganda of Fox News. More info can be found here. http://www.michaelbishop.com/talkingpoints.htm

Please take three minutes of your time to listen to it, and if you like what you hear, email the link to all your firends, post the link on all the boards you frequent, and email you recomendations for it to places like Air America and Move On.

I truly am afraid Bush is going to be re-elected, and we need to do everything we can to ensure that doesn't happen. So please do your part. Thank you very much.

4. If you mean
The Air America contacts, then yes. I sent them emails but have not heard back. Unless they get several emails in support I doubt I will. Thank you though.

6. Lyrics are on the website link I posted
But here they are again for ease.

Talking Points Lyrics:

Don't you know it's time to be free; Won't you lend a hand
Won't you show the world your outrage; Won't you take a stand

I call 'em a racist, cuz they just can't face this,
Everyone seems so blind.
I call em a racist, cuz they just can't face this,
Every child's been left behind.

All our rights are treaded on.
All our rights may soon be gone.
Civil Rights just don't belong,
Treated like some political pawn.

So don't pretend that it is all fine,
Or you may end up on the unemployment line.
While your job gets reassigned,
To some Malaysain kid who's just pushin nine.

I'm a man of many talents,
So let me break it down all "Fair" and "Balanced".
I hope I blow the roof right off this joint,
Cuz I'm bustin' out my "Talking Points".

(chorus)
First they planned and then they lied about the WMDs.
Then they dropped bombs, killed Dads and Moms, and many more Iraqis.
Then they vacationed as the Nation's children went off to war.
How many more of our kids must die for a barrel of oil?
A hundred billion spent to kill them, meanwhile millions are still,
Left here jobless, while they rob all our civil rights at will.
It's time to MOVE ON and improve on the red white and the blue,
I'll keep it "Pithy". Are you with me? These talking points are true! Uh-Oh


It's not too late. It's not too late.


When it's time to judge my soul,
When it's time to pay that toll.
I know that at least,
I was one who stood for peace,
And I know that on that day,
When I finally have my say,
The whole world will hear me,
Cuz I'm gonna shout it!

Gonna tell my mother,
Gonna tell my brtoher,
If we help each other,
we can make a change!


(Chorus)...


I call em a liar, cuz they preach to the choir,
And "Spin" their words like a top.
I call em a liar, cuz they just never tire,
Of spewing their propaganda non-stop.

Everyday it's the same 'ole song,
We're the "Right" and you're the wrong.
But never fear, we will fight on.
We'll keep speaking the truth until you're gone.

In the end one thing is true,
WE'RE the ones "Lookin' Out For You".
I hope I blow the roof right off this joint,
Cuz I'm bustin out my "Talking Points".

12. kind of an Alvin and the Chipmunks flare to it
I caught a line that said something about how talented you were ( in your voice i suspect.... turn off ). ummm I didn't listen to much after that but i'm sure there is a great deal of heart and effort behind it. try retuning a bit. No disrespect intended just trying to share my thoughts.

20. linking it. what are the copyright terms?
Didn't like it at first (too club-y), but it grew on me. I've been seeing a lot of independant protest songs on the net. Someone should put together a compilation.
