I just donated to the Obama campaign because of one of my favorite musicians. [View all]

No, not Bon Jovi or Bruce Springsteen, I'm not a fan of either. Because of Jeff Beccera.

Jeff is the lead singer/songwriter for the Thrash Metal band Possessed. He was shot and paralyzed by an L.A. gang member back in the 90's and he knows how important President Obama's health care plan is for those that have little or no means to pay for medical coverage.

He has set up a grassroots donation page for the President and has set a modest goal of $200. I've thrown in $10.

Maybe we can help him reach his goal and let people know that imbeciles like Dave Mustaine do NOT represent the Metal community.

Even if you can't/won't donate, the message can still be sent by spreading the donation page.

Btw, wheelchair and all, Jeff still rocks.
