Pearl Jam has announced a new initiative which will encourage fans to take the “Take-Three Pledge: Vote by Mail, Recruit Three Friends, and Don’t Wait.”
“Voting freely and easily is our ultimate right as citizens of these United States” said bassist Jeff Ament (via press release). “It’s a hard-fought gift from our foremothers and forefathers. Join us in our Take Three Pledge: Vote by Mail, Recruit Three Friends, and Don’t Wait. Learn more www.pearljam.com or text PJVotes to 52886 and join us.”
According to a press release, “Pearl Jam has had a long history of activism and political involvement dating all the way back to 1992 when they hosted the free “Drop in the Park” concert in Seattle that registered thousands of voters. For nearly three decades, the band has played in countless benefit concerts, been outspoken advocates for progressive causes, and donated millions of dollars to local and global non-profits personally and through their Vitalogy Foundation.”
“We believe America is at its best when every voice is heard,” said Eddie Vedder (via press release). “This is the most important election in our nation’s history. Our democracy is at risk. Your vote is your voice, and it’s time to use it. Join us by voting by mail — something our band has been doing for almost three decades, since we began touring in 1992. It’s safe, it’s easy, and it’s secure.”

September 10, 2020 at 7:45 pmVote by mail is very different from an Absentee ballot. If you need this explained then all you need to think about is this: think of what happens when BLM rioters burn the mailbox full of ballots… …they may also harvest a few and visit your home – hope you voted “correctly” or maybe you need mostly peaceful assistance changing your mind…

September 11, 2020 at 9:56 amyou are wrong. Oregon has been voting by mail for 20 years. individual voter fraud is a myth. it does not exist because it is not effective. rigging elections through foreign influence, voter suppression and digital security are far more effective in creating disruption.

September 11, 2020 at 1:27 pmVoter fraud is not a myth. My family hired a private investigator and caught a municipality using these exact tactics that the Democrats want to employ. When they were confronted with the evidence they immediately backed down and conceded the election. And to think the incoherent democrat puppet Biden doesn’t need this type of fraud is just outright stupidity. Pearl Jam CDs just went in the garbage. Along with my football jerseys. How many more myths can the democrats come up with because they are so upset they lost the election. 4 years of disgusting acts by shameless politicians like pelosi (they set me up – and if they did she’s dumb enough to fall for it. Wasn’t supposed to be there either way). Lightfoot ruining Chicago, De Blasio ruining my city after a republican finally cleaned it up. Durkan, Wheeler. Give me a break already. Yup it’s Trumps fault they pulled back the police and let innocent peoples businesses get ruined. If you supper these people you are scum just like them.
