My fellow Americans. in this political season voting is a task that has been thrust upon all of us

It has come to be that the Heartsfield Party has moved on in the primaries, thanks to the hard work and dedication of our friends, family, constituents, and fans who have untiringly brought us to the “Final 4” in the St. Louis Classic Rock.com 2008 MarchBandness.

Yes, my fellow Countryrockmen & Countryrockwomen it’s:
The Who • Heartsfield • Badfinger • The Beatles that are still standing and in the race to the finish!

Now once again, I will present our platform for your perusal and thoughtful analysis. If elected...

Plank 1) We will proclaim every 4th Saturday of the month as National Drinkin’ Til We’re Stinkin’ Day. By the end of every month we have all had it up to here with the BS we must endure just to get to that day so we deserve an official day to blow off some steam! Double points for those who choose Cabo Wabo as their relaxin’ agent.

Plank 2) All Gasoline company executives will be required to not only list their TRUE profits but also:
a. How many $100,000 & above cars they have in the family
b. How many homes & get away homes they saunter off to
c. How many 1.5 million dollar bashes for birthdays, anniversaries, business seminar vacations they throw per year.
d. Number of solid gold fixtures they have installed in the 20 to 30 bathrooms they have in that collection of homes they have accrued.
e. The annual budget for all $4,000 hookers they have employed for not only themselves but all business associates, especially congressional committee members who influence regulations and tax breaks.
f. How many times per quarter they are laughing all the way to the bank at OUR expense.

Plank 3) Pass a law that any candidate that tells us a bunch of lies and half truths just to get elected, then when in office forgets all those promises and does the opposite will be sentenced to 4 years hard time being Paris Hilton’s spokesperson. With the responsibility of explaining to normal folks what the F*ck she is saying and doing, why she deserves any attention at all, talk about a tough gig. Hell even her performance in the secret porno flick was way below average!

Plank 4) The responsible parties who have mutilated & destroyed the radio air waves and our enjoyment of what used to be a pleasant fun experience will be brought to justice. You know the folks I mean, the one’s who have been cramming the likes of Boy Bands, Belly Button ring gals (ie. Brittany Spears), Gangsta Rap, Country Cookie Cutter Pop and a myriad of manufactured, souless music down our throats trying to convince us this is what we should like & buy!!! Sentence for these monsters yet to be determined, but in the running perhaps being forced to marry Rosie O’Donnell would be a determent to this insanity. This goes for TV guys too, when is the last time you could watch MTV and enjoy it much less hear any darn music on it?

More planks to come... after I go to Home Depot for some more wood

So as you can see all your efforts and diligence will pay off in the long run. So Now is the time, this is when it’s gonna count, when the going gets the toughest, to once again got to http://marchbandness.com and help us win this darn thing!

Just want to say I know how much of a pain in the rear this may have been for you all. All these howdies asking you again and again to go vote for us, BUT WE LOVE YOU TONS for it. Like I have always said, without you great folks this all would be a hell of a lot tougher to do. Been a lot of fun playing this game and with a little more persistence
“US” as a team can slam dunk this puppy, throw the 3-pointer at the final buzzer, damn that’s about it for my basketball clichés!

Seriously, thanks to all who have been there for us on this--sending out some big ole PerBear hugs at ya (yuck). Now we need all those who haven’t come on board to get in the fight and get this Heartsfield Party elected! Please tell as many friends you can to get on board, pass it around, yell it from the mountain tops, hell, even text message some folks! Here are the directions to vote:
