The National's Anthem for Obama...

Now, The National has stepped up to the plate to pledge support for Barack Obama by playing a FREE concert in Cincinnati's Fountain Square on October 16th. And if that isn't enough to get you fired up, Dayton's homegrown rockers, The Breeders will make the trip down I-75 to play the gig too. Either way, Obama can say he got the "National" vote. The band had this to say about their efforts:

You are invited to join The National and their fellow Ohioans The Breeders at a rally in support of Barack Obama and Joe Biden to be held on October 16th at Fountain Square in Cincinnati, Ohio (Located at the corner of Fifth & Vine Streets, downtown).

The rally will be held from 5-8 pm and will feature performances by The National & The Breeders and speeches to inspire Hope and incite Change. The show will be free to all. Ohio residents can vote early beginning on September 30th, so we’ve lined up charter buses to take registered Hamilton County voters to the polls on the night of the event.
