Press Release: Springsteen Will Send GOTV Message To Hundreds of MoveOn House Parties In Battleground States

DC Finale of “Vote For Change” Tour to Be Webcast And Shown Live on Sundance Channel

The Boss,” Other Artists to Help Boost Turnout on Election Day

On Monday Oct. 11, just prior to the DC finale of the 43-city Vote for Change tour, thousands of MoveOn members at house parties across the country will join Bruce Springsteen and other musicians in an online conference call to recruit and mobilize volunteers to increase turnout on November 2nd.

As “The Boss” takes the stage at MCI Center in Washington, MoveOn members in battlegrounds states from Ohio to Nevada will watch the live performance on the Sundance channel or at www.moveonpac.org, where the event will be streamed live through RealNetworks.

The finale will feature performances by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, R.E.M., Pearl Jam, Dave Mathews Band, the Dixie Chicks, Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Brown, John Mellencamp, and many other special guests.

The house parties are tied to MoveOnPAC’s “Leave No Voter Behind” program designed to maximize get-out-the-vote activities in battleground states. MoveOn PAC has 500 organizers and 55,000 volunteers on the ground in seventeen states.
