Rep. John Hall (D-NY) tells McCain to stop using his Song!
I guess John McCain doesnt realize that the singer and cowriter of the song "Still the One" Is John Hall of the band Orleans.

"This is yet another example of John McCain not learning anything from George Bush's mistakes,” Hall wrote First Read in an interview over e-mail. “First, McCain adopted Bush's failed policy of an open-ended war in Iraq, then he wrapped his arms around the failed Bush economic policies that have put the squeeze on middle class families. Now, he's making the same mistake George Bush made illegally using a copyrighted song without asking either the writers or the performers for permission."

3. Wonder if Senator McCain could use a song from
a 40 year old musical as a theme without paying those nasty royalties.
