Interesting post I received a FB today [View all]


Got this at my FB page today it is from a friend of my wife.
Don't know how yo make it happen but it sounds awesome to me. I watch and donate.



You may have heard that the organizers of the inauguration are freaking out that the performers will be limited to Kid Rock and Ted Nugent.

So....what if there was a televised "freedom concert" with huge celebrities like: Beyoncé and Jay Z, Madonna, Katy Perry, Justin Timberlake, Gaga, Bruce Springsteen, etc., that aired at the same time as the inauguration. What would the president elect think knowing he was not the ratings winner that evening?

And what if all the proceeds of the concert went to: the ACLU, Planned Parenthood, Lambda Legal, NAACP, CAIR, IRAP, SPLC, Environmental Defense Fund, etc.

Alec Baldwin could be the MC for the evening!

Let's make it happen! Copy & Paste, don't share, or else only your mutual friends will see it.
