Where Did the Little Pink Houses Go?
An open letter from John Mellencamp:
The fight for freedom in this country has been
long, painful, and ongoing. It is time to take
back our country. Take it back from political
agendas, corporate greed and overall manipulation.
It is time to take action here in our land, in
our own schools, neighborhoods, farms, and
businesses. We have been lied to and terrorized
by our own government, and it is time to take
action. Now is the time to come together.
Oh, what do those rock and roll, hollywood-types know anyway?
