It's no surprise that Evangelicals are getting involved in this election. I spent a little more than a week on the road with them this Summer. I can tell you that this is a band that is engaged in what's happening in this country. Before the show in Columbia, Missouri, we happened to walk by Obama's local campaign headquarters. The whole band spent plenty of time talking with the staff there and picking up buttons and stickers.
I'm not surprised then, to find out that they're back in Columbia, working for the Obama campaign, in a swing state that could turn out to be very important to Obama's chances for success on this HISTORIC election day. I'm a little surprised that they're back on the road, just days after returning from a two month, grueling tour. But, that just shows how big this election is and what it means to young people in America. This is the future, happening right before our eyes.
From their blog:
"That’s right, Josh and I spent the day in Missouri canvassing and making phone calls for the Obama campaign. It’s been great! We rolled in around 1pm today and starting canvassing, hitting about 100 households in the Columbia area. Then we got our phonebank on, each calling roughly seventy people in the same area. If Obama wins here by a narrow margin, I’m taking some credit for an Obama presidency. Sorry."
You should definitely check out their BLOG. It's a fantastic read! Also, befriend them on MySpace, and tell them how much you appreciate what they're doing for their country.
These are really good guys.
