VOTE! November 4th, 2008

 

Two weeks ago, James and his wife, Kim, spent 3 days in his hometown state of North Carolina. During that time, James gave free concerts in Charlotte, Asheville, Chapel Hill, Raleigh and Wilimington encouraging people to "Register Early/Vote Early". The Chapel Hill concert drew 8,000 people and was especially meaningful to him, taking place on the campus of UNC where James's father had been Dean of the Medical School and where James had spent a great deal of his childhood.

"I've always been proud of my North Carolina roots. As this crucial election approaches I am honored to join the efforts of the Obama Campaign here in my beloved Tar Heel home. It thrills me that North Carolina has become a "battleground state" and that we might lead the nation toward the change we so urgently need. With a victory here in November, we will embody the awakening of a new American spirit of engagement and responsibility. In North Carolina, we can own that change. To me, it comes as no surprise, because I hail from the state that chose to move boldly into the future with its commitment to education and modern technology. That forward looking spirit has paid off for us in a big way. North Carolina for Obama. It's a good fit."
