In observance of President’s Day, Michael Franti & Spearhead are calling on one and all to make submissions to their “Letter to the President” Contest. Submissions can be letters, songs, or poems no longer than one page in length, and should contain “your thoughts, feelings, hopes, and dreams–for or against, now matter how spicy, cheeky, irreverent, or downright pissed off they may be.” All letters will be judged for their thoughtfulness, passion, and humor, and must contain some form of constructive criticism (What would you do?).

Three winners will be selected to attend one of three shows over President’s Day weekend. Two are at the Warfield in San Francisco and one is at the Montbleu Resort in Lake Tahoe. Winners will receive a pair of tickets with VIP access plus $100 toward travel. Winners will also be asked to read their letters in front of the audience before the show.

Submissions should be emailed to contest@stayhuman.org by February 7, 2007. You can also email your letter directly to the White House: comments@whitehouse.gov.
