Tell Somebody (Repeal the Patriot Act Now)

[AlabamaYankee]

WWOZ (The absolutely BEST jazz station anywhere) just closed out the Moring Set show with a new Ricky Lee Jones song, titled "Tell Somebody (Repeal the Patriot Act Now)". It's a funky little number with a great gospel beat, and I hope it gets extended air play.

Vetrerans for Paece mentioned it in an article on their website about the growth of protest in the artistic community, and quoted some of the lyrics(http://www.veteransforpeace.org/Patriot_act_woefully_101703.htm)

i want to know how far you will go to protect our right of free speech?
because it only took a moment before it faded out of reach ...
oh, tell somebody, tell somebody right now
tell somebody what happened in the usa?
i wanna read about it in the news
i wanna hear about it on tv,
what happened in the usa?
when they ask you what happened in the usa? tell somebody.
they'll wanna know, oh people
the depth of our democracy is only as good as the voices of protest she protects
voices of protest - rise!

Just another chip out of the wall!

TOLL FREE! You call it and they transfer you to anybody's office in the House and/or Senate. Tell 'em this!

While you're at it, make sure all the warmongers are heartily thanked for those 16 nice new filled-up body bags from the weekend in Iraq.

AND DEMAND A SPECIAL PROSECUTOR for Traitor-gate!!!
