Sing for Change
About Us
Sing for Change was a confluence of hard work, good will, and shared vision. Inspired by ideas raised at a grassroots Obama fundraiser, a music teacher, Kathy Sawada, and the children composed and rehearsed the songs in less than two weeks. Several musicians heard of the effort and volunteered to accompany the children. Parents and older siblings designed and provided the T-Shirts and the banner. There’s a first for everything, but rarely do so many firsts come together at once: for the children and their parents, this is their first performance, first video, first banner, and first involvement with grassroots work on a presidential campaign.
As Sunday approached, a neighbor volunteered a home. Production wizards got wind of the project and offered their help in recordingit. The likes of Jeff Zucker, Holly Schiffer, Peter Rosenfeld, Darin Moran, Jean Martin, Andy Blumenthal, and Nick Phoenix rearranged schedules to participate. Holly Schiffer was able to get three High Definition cameras (Panasonic HVX250’s), and an AVID editing facility. When Jeff Zucker went to pick up the camera package, Ted Schilowitz happened to be there and offered a RED camera set up on a SteadiCam.
What we accomplished in a few hours on a Sunday afternoon embodies the nature of the Obama campaign: its grassroots inspiration, its inclusiveness, its community building. People pitched in quickly for a cause that resonated with them. There were not many conditions: “Think this is a good idea? Want to help? Great. Sunday at 12:00.” At the heart of the project were 22 children and their music. The willingness of all involved to come together for them was a testament to our hope, unity, courage, joy and belief in the future represented by these children.
Drudge says that Jeff Zucker lised above is THE Jeff Zucker who is President and CEO of NBC.
Rush talked about this and played these creepy videos today.
The cult of personality. Never works well. Will BO be our
“dear leader”? God help us.
That video is just terrifying! It’s just a glimpse of what Obama will do if he is elected.
This looks similar to Hitler’s Youth or Mao’s Red Guards. The prospect of an Obama-led socialist, fascist police-state is just plain scary!
Honestly, do Obama’s supporters have any clue of who & what they are voting for?
BTTT!!!
Also kind of like the songs sung for the leaders of North Korea and for Saddam in his time. Scary in so many ways. Makes me think, if elected, my kids will be forced to recite, “I Pledge of Allegiance to our leader, Barack Hussein Obama ...” before school each morning.
Agreed. Obama is following the Hitler / National Socialist game plan.
1. Appeal to kids/students who are naive and easily worked into a frenzy over social issues. Organize them and have the rat our their friends and relatives to government “for the common good.” Do they get brown shirts? Check!
2. Repress freedom of speech. Fairness doctrine and the Missouri intimidation tactics; throw in Obama’s suits to avoid attacks on him. Check!
3. Seize businesses (check!) and raise taxes so government control most everyone. This will crash the economy and allow for a takeover. Check.
4. Create a Reichstag fire (blamed on Communists) and seize control of government. Just like Dems and their supporters just did with banks and financial markets! Check!
5. Support American industry! (support German industry!) Protectionism! Check!
Of course they do! Many of them are SURE they voted for Obama on Dancing with the Stars last season.

But THE Jeff Zucker!
Next you'll tell me one of the singing kids is really Keith Olbermann.
Play it on prime time!
older Jewish voters, Eastern Europeans, Rwandans, and Cuban refugees, may feel pangs of nostalgia over paeans of homage being sung by politically mobilized children...
Sure.
"Change."
I like to ask them what, exactly, it is that they want to change. Leaves most of them stuttering in their tracks. Some of 'em even lose that 'Moonie eyeball look', if you know what I mean.
Every now and then, one of those will issue the usual two word epithet indicating that the conversation is over.
Boycott NBC and its advertisers. Let Jeff Zucker know why their numbers are falling even more than usual.
The truth hurts and NBC should feel the pain of the truth. Make them feel it where it hurts — in the wallet.
The older Cubans who I used to work with told me stories of the “Young Pioneers,” and it is still mandatory to join said organization for Cuban children.
“I don’t like the sound of these ‘ere ‘Boncentration Bamps.’”
