In
a new web video released Tuesday, the Obama campaign announced the
launch of DJs for Obama. "DJs are about motivation, inspiration,
celebration. That's why I think it makes such perfect sense to not only
celebrate this man, but to motivate people to reelect him," said New
York City's DJ Cassidy. They've enlisted a number of DJs for the effort
including Steve Aoki, rapper-turned-DJ D-Nice
and DJ Rashida, who tours with Cee Lo Green. The DJs are encouraging
other artistic types to use their talents to help the campaign. "If
you're a painter, paint a campaign poster, if you're a sewer, sew a
campaign t-shirt. Use what you have to contribute,"
DJ Cassidy says in a campaign
video announcing the
initiative (video above). "Four years is great. Eight is what we need." More from
Politico’s 44.
