I have known Jeff Ament for years and I think it
is wonderful that Pearl Jam wants to come out and lend their support and help me
raise awareness about my campaign and to help raise the money I will need to
defeat a sitting U.S. Senator, said Senate President Jon Tester. I am committed
to the people of Montana and pleased that Jeff Ament and Pearl Jam are stepping
forward to show their commitment to our future once again.
Jeff Ament, Pearl Jam founding member and bassist, helped to
bring this event together because of his ties to Big Sandy, Montana and his
commitment to the state's family farmers and underserved communities. Over the
past eight years he has been actively involved in Montana including supporting
the 1998 Hoopfest as well as being involved in refurbishing sports facilities
for Montana Parks and Recreation and building a skateboard park for the Missoula
YMCA. Whether supporting Red Feather Development Corporation's efforts or
staying abreast of Native American issues throughout the West, Jeff and Pearl
Jam are committed to making a difference in this region.
The future of Montana depends on keeping
communities in rural Montana alive and well, said band member Jeff Ament. We see
too many of our young folks leaving to look for work and a future elsewhere
because too many of our small, rural communities are struggling. Electing Jon
Tester to the U.S. Senate is one of the best things we can do for the future of
Montana and our kids because he will work hard to save our Montana way of life.
I'm glad we can do this benefit concert and help Jon win this
election.
Pearl Jam has a long tradition of working to engage fans of
all ages in the political process. Most recently, they took part in last fall's
Vote for Change concert tour as a part of their ongoing work to get young people
registered to vote and involved in important issues. This latest effort
demonstrates the band's ongoing commitment to exercising their rights and
supporting those candidates who they feel will make a difference on the local,
state, and federal levels.
