Super PACs won't stop President Obama in 2012 so a water main break won't stop "Sing For Obama" from a triumphant return!
We know the President doesn't shy away from belting out his favorite tunes - so why should you? Whether it's Al Green or Green Day, join us for a night of karaoke fun as we "Sing for Obama!"
And just as Obama's not your average POTUS, this isn't your average night of karaoke. Let your inner Gaga shine while being backed up by local rockstars, Northeast Corridor. That's right, you'll be the lead singer of a real band for one night only. Check out their play list of over 100 songs! http://www.northeastcorridor.net/songs.html
The campaign is trying hard to close the gap on fundraising so this is a great way to help while having a great time with friends and fellow young Obama supporters! Even if you don't think you will sing, bring some "American Idol" wannabes or just come out to watch a great show and maybe dance a little too.
Since this is the final night of the RNC Convention, we will take a break later in the evening to watch Mitt accept his nomination and remind us why we need to work hard to keep Hope alive in 2012 and beyond!
