give me a job where i can smoke weed without the fear of getting fired by a random drug test,give me police that care more about catching a drunk driver rather than pulling me over with a bag of weed,give me politicians that can make it happen for these are communist ways where freedom cries out for freedom of choice
after watching both debates between obama and mccain, it is quite clear who has their finger on the pulse of america. obama talks about the issues and what he's going to do to CHANGE things for the better. mccain talks about... well... more of the same. i want someone with fresh ideas that are going to get us out of this mess we are in. obama is that person.
Why in the hell isn't this song being BLASTED over the air waves by every conceivable audio/visual media outlet possible? Oh, I forgot...the Republican Noise Machine owns most of the media outlets!!!! Sam, keep it up, your voice is being heard. 10+ stars!
McCain gave a speech,a compilation of all his ads.When you want a message to be imprinted in peoples head you repeat it until it becomes reality to the targeted audience.Obama talked about the issues that most are facing.McCain continued to lie & Obama had to constantly call on it.Obama is very collected & composed; its so frustrating when people lie to your face so blatantly.Obama came across as the guy that understands the needs of people.McCain continued to lie & played the sympathy card.
Sam,PreTjenE's comment goes to show gnorance is alive and well in America.You captured my heart in a 6th grade program at Garfield elementary with a voice of and angel. Glad your gift is so passionate about politics
being a non-American supporter of Barack Obama and a person interested in the US Presidential Elections, I am very impressed with the level of involvement Obama's campaign raised. I wish the elections in my "sweet dear old" country (Romania) would run in the same way... well, let's hope that Change is on the way for us too.
I think McCain and Palin are going to bring just the change we need to the White House. I vote my wallet, and unfortunately, the only change Obama wants, is from my pocket. It's going to be an interesting 60 days!
Don;t fool yourself. McCain is four more years of Bush and Palin is Bush in drag. Your wallet either has to be huge, or it is taking a beating right now. Democrats (remember the 90's) create better economics for everyone...rather than the really rich getting richer. Obama gives 95% a tax cut, McCain gives his breaks to corporations.
LOVE THE SONG!!! THANK YOU! And after reading ALL the news that gets worse and worse as each day goes by on McC's UNvetted VP (how desperate, irresponsible, and irrational!) McC's first major decision is a disaster! Can you imagine if he was our president?
I am so glad we've got Obama/Biden to vote for come Nov 4 2008.
Come on. Anyone can make exaggerated comments. Obama is clearly ideologically separate from Hugo Chavez (who's the president of Venezuela, not Zimbabwe).
Funny, Obama never seems to mention what exactly he will change....and we know it won't be the war (except to extend it into Iran and Pakistan), and it won't be the economy (can anyone say FIAT?)
I can't believe all you people are actually going to vote for this douchebag, he won't get rid of the Fed or income tax, won't balance the books, won't protect our civil liberties, and he definitely won't uphold the constitution.
Change scares people... But then again, so does war and a lack of basic human rights. Obama/Biden really is the only choice. The tune is great. Awesome message. Thanks for sharing it!
Palin will protect your right to vote in all American elections
WHILE
Obama will take away your right to vote like he did in Chicago and the 2 other States of America depriving Hillary AND ALL AMERICANS the right to have a FAIR ELECTION!
Hence, you better beware of GAINSAYER like Obama. VERIFY the truth of the sayings of Obama first before you vote!
Obama is a useless nigger andI will never vote for a nigger and if he is president the world is going to end if you don't believe me, then you'll see.
so wtf are you saviour, ha ha ha I will never vote a nigger listen to yourself you sound like a piece of shyt you are, its funny how Obama makes u so madd and angry thats good well i got news for you Obama will be the next president of the United States Of America , a nation thats made not only by white and black colour but different cultures too , deal with it we are in the 21st century if you are still a KKK member good for you seems you will never change , but Change is what we need.
james, i'd like to hear what you have done in your life to help others or contribute to improving the world outside of yourself? racist rhetoric doesn't qualify. it simply demonstrates lack of humanity, enormous personal fear/insecurity and projection of self-hatred.
McCain would denounce you too james. I don't think he wants your vote, and neither does Palin. This country does not need people like you. My vote will not be based on race. For those who do not know her, Gov. Palin is a brilliant lady with a respectable track record, and if anybody thinks she was only chosen because she is a lady will be surprised.
Palin will protect your right to vote in all American elections WHILE Obama will take away your right to vote like he did in Chicago and the 2 other States of America depriving Hillary AND ALL AMERICANS the right to have a FAIR ELECTION!
Verifying Obama's integrity first before believing.
The Germans voted Hitler in because they failed to verify the integrity of Hitler. Hence, German men died, German women raped and the country divided.
James, only YOUR world will end. YOUR kind of world which is filled with bigotry and deceit, war and destruction. The world of the warhawks, GW Bush and McCain's world ; yes, that is the world that will end if Obama is our president. If you don't believe me, then you'll see. I realize this makes the racists; the skinheads head implode at the thought, eh? Deal with it
Its pretty nauseating to think about that, but we need to focus on what we really need, which is NO WORLD WAR THREE.
I'd like to see Americans wake up and realize that saving the lives of the millions of people in Iran who are going to die if we bomb them(and which will bring enormously negative consequences to the US as well)is the most important thing--and
elect Obama because he is the only viable alternative to McCain.
The US is in a desperate situation right now. Worrying about Hillary, the free market(for Paul people), not being progressive enough (for Nader people),etc., is losing perspective. Go to Consortium News and read what they have to say about McCain.
If you want to spend the rest of your life in a world that *hasn't* had a nuclear world war 3, its time to start figuring out the best ways to convince as many people as possible that Obama is the best choice for this election.
So I was going to your website to see if I could figure out when the pre-ordered cd's were coming or at least find the correct person to contact and inquire about it, and when I clicked the "contact" link it had the answer I was looking for big and bold. So I thought I would let you know that I beleive whoever runs your site has ESP. LOL. thank you so much for being an inspiration to so many. You are a great singer, and a great person.
i hope that in years to come, people will look back and say that this song sums up 2008. in other words, i hope 2008 brings change, like never before! SONG OF THE YEAR!
Thanks for the reply Sam. Cant wait for the cd to arrive. I had thepleasure of meeting you when you were in Chicago a coupleof years ago at the Belmont theater when you were doing a read through of your play. Thanks for sending the pics back autograhed!! Scott
I had to come back to this song. Because I found myself singing this in the car, in the shower, in my sleep. This song just will not leave my head. I love it!!!!!!
Yea! I live in Canada & was able to pre-order CD on cdbaby com!!! Unfortunately the DVD cannot ship outside U.S. but was able to order some 'Sam'!!! Need my 'Sam' fix!! Payments via credit card or paypal which is great. Can ship via postal service so shipping is reasonable.
Sam, I'm hoping cd pre-order via cdbaby that CD's will be signed too -- hint, hint, pretty please with sugar on top!!! More lovin' to be had for ya outside the U.S. too!!
OMG!!! LOVE IT♥ LOVE IT♥ LOVE IT♥!!!! Great lyrics ...great beat...great message. Let's get this to Barack immediately. So lovin' the Hey Hey part. I can't wait to get my copy.
sam, did you know have made some good painting tracks on this album? well ya have! (oh, thats a great thing btw, it doesnt mean its background music at all, infact the opposite!) xx
wow different from most of the songs! Can't tell it is you necessarily at first! Very cool way to be able to have such a versatile voice! I love this song!
we all can go to barack's campaign site and tell him what a wonderful song this would be for him, and let him know what sam is doing to get people to vote:-) xo-vicki

There are those who need to be told what to think and say. Those who are scared into and encouraged to take self serving positions and actions.
Then, there are those who are inspired to do and be better. Those who turn away from hatred and recognize the big picture.
That one may have such misery and pain that one does not choose the latter, this is truly sad for all of us.
