Good God almighty, I think we need a music break. Here’s one. Brought to our attention by BRAD BLOG reader, badass Nashville blues man, and citizen Election Integrity champion Shannon Williford of Gathering To Save Our Demcoracy. (See a terrific recent MTV “Street Team ’08” article on Shannon’s EI advocacy here: “Electile Dysfunction ““ A Case Study in Successful Treatment”, and the companion MTV video interview with him and his daughter, Linden here: “Who Did Your Voting Machine Vote For?” I’ve also posted the video interview below the fold for good measure, cuz the Willifords rock! On behalf of America, thanks guys!)
But anyway…back to the music break…It comes fresh out of the studio from Shannon’s buddy Ross Falzone, off his new CD, Life Here On Earth, I’m hoping the title of the cut, “The Truth Has God on Its Side,” proves right. Thanks for doing your part to call the liars Bush and Cheney on the carpet in the video, Ross! Some good clips I hadn’t seen in a while! Enjoy…
And check out the video interview with Shannon and awesome daughter below!…
Great song and lyrics, stiff humming it. I hope it gets a lot of play on the blogs and… media (dream on)?.
It’s very catchy & It grows on ya. Outstanding!
Short & Sweet while nailing a lot of travesties.
The horns remind me of Al Green.
Uh Oh, a youth based political movement! Time to make up a silly name to give it and destroy its culture!
Wilber ~ Here’s a good one to play, she reminds of my x . . .

Shannon Williford’s daughter, Linden, with her innocence of youth but her burgeoning awakening to the realities of the country we live in, was touching and reminds me of my own daughter, recently turned 18 and about to go off to college. I hope I have had as much positive influence on the political awakening I have observed in her as Shannon Williford has obviously had on his daughter. We certainly need more young people like Linden, with the political awareness and energy that she demonstrates, if we are ever going to take our country back.
It’s also interesting to see the positive role and influence that churches can play in people’s social and political lives in some cases, especially, I gather, in the south. That, as opposed to the omnipresent, rigid right-wing posture of the more vocal branches of the Christian faith in this country.
Hi Shannon and daughter,
Good song and excellent videos. Congrats on helping get the bill passed. My band Kabong has a myspace site if you want to check out some new songs and a few informative related videos. http://www.myspace.com/kabongband

Thanks for the good vibes, y’all.
Thanks Brad for keeping us all informed…
Back to the fray…

I was so grateful and honored to see my video on the Saturday Brad blog, with my name associated with the Williford family. Shannon is truly a community leader and the state of Tennessee has been rewarded by his hard work. A fair election might now be possible in 2010. Bravo to the election reform movement!!A paper ballot!!
Thanks Brad and peace to all
