Justin Timberlake on the Campaign Trail
Posted in Barack Obama, Justin Timberlake on the October 22, 2008
Justin Timberlake and girlfriend Jessica Biel got the crowd going at the ‘Last Chance for Change’ rally in Las Vegas recently. Justin told the crowd “This is not my usual stage — and I’m a little nervous. This is the first time in my life that I am endorsing a political candidate. I’m not here as a musician or an actor or that guy that writes songs. I’m not here as a Democrat or a Republican. I’m here as an American. I’m not here to tell you what to think but I urge you to think. I’m supporting Barack Obama because I’m inspired by him, by his voice, his intellect, his leadership and his judgment.”

MTV and their Choose or Lose campaign have partnered up with CNN to support veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. On October 24th, ‘A Night for Vets: An MTV Concert for the BRAVE’ will air at 8PM on MTV. The show’s name is a reference to the petition MTV and several veterans’ organizations created called the Bill of Rights for American Veterans (BRAVE). Some of the celebrities that will take part include 50 Cent, Ludacris and Saving Abel, Kanye West, Kid Rock, Fall Out Boy, Angels and Airwaves, Nelly, Juanes and Taylor Swift. The president of MTV said “It doesn’t matter where you stand on the war, we can all agree that young veterans serving our country must receive the benefits they’ve earned for their sacrifices. We aim to elevate these issues and ensure they’re a top priority for our government officials.”
