JK Wedding Entrance Dance ... raising funds for Sheila Wellstone's foundation

Moderators, I'm posting this in GD because there is a small political connection ....

This delightful You Tube video, that was posted at
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=385x342678#342712
has now been seen by more than 13 million people.

The newlyweds have decided to channel their new-found fame into a wonderful cause, supporting the Sheila Wellstone Institute that was formed to help victims of domestic abuse. They have a website, http://www.jkweddingdance.com with a link to Wellstone Action's donation page, https://www.thedatabank.com/dpg/114/donate.asp?formid=JillandKevin

If you loved that video, and if you can afford it, i hope you'll consider sending a donation. Imagine how much good can be done if just a fraction of the people who have viewed this video make a small donation to the organization that was named in Mrs. Wellstone's memory.

:thumbsup:

Thanks for letting me know about it.

A statement from the Sheila Wellstone Institute points out that Jill's current pHD work "focuses on breaking cycles of violence in society" and that Kevin is on his way to law school "due to his passion for social justice."

They got some flak about using a chris Brown song. They did something about it.

Two smart kids already doing needed work! Good on them!

:hi:

doing good work.

May their union be long and playfully constructive. They are certainly off to a great start.

Thanks for more info. Very uplifting.

that appeared on DU -- that it was "tacky" and the equivalent of "Jackass" and that they did the dance just to be a big sensation on Youtube -- will be retracted by the people who made them. But I doubt it.

Kudos to Jill and Kevin and I still love the video.
