Press Release Summary: It\'s important to keep Freedom of Speech alive. And when
you\'re in the arts, it\'s an artist\'s responsibility to exercise those rights via the
arts. Jon Hartmann has just completed \"George Bush Sings\" a music truth time capsule
of all the errors of the Bush Adminstration in American History.

Press Release Body: LOS ANGELES, CA --- First quarter of 2008 has kicked off the
presidential candidate campaigns in full-swing. Who will it be? Clinton, McCain,
Obama??? While voters will turn out in droves this year to elect a new leader and
change, Writer-Producer-Musician-Environmental Activist, Jon Hartmann, launches the
New Year with his newly completed CD, GEORGE BUSH SINGS!
This 14-track political funk-n-roll series of truth serum tunes is devoted to the
proposition that all people are created equal and large corporations tend to abuse
the political system. Two disastrous Bush administrations plus one year of well
orchestrated music production equal this collection of George W. Bush speeches,
edited to speak the truth highlighted by the back beat rhythm of brilliantly
arranged instrumental bed fusion of groovy jazz, reggae, funk, world/pop and
eclectic rock all in one. GEORGE BUSH SINGS! is available at

"When Nancy Pelosi said that impeachment was off the table, I knew that I lived
under a political system that had gone past its prime.the expiration date revealed
that the product was rotten. Conservatives tried to impeach another president for
lying about his sexual activities, but would refuse to impeach a president for lying
about starting a war that has so far killed about half a million people, and set
into motion a series of events that may spiral out of control beyond our worst
nightmares. Clearly, the folks in the GOP are not qualified to lead a government,
and their philosophy of limited government is a lie; they don't want to spend money
on alternate fuels or railways, but putting a trillion dollars into an oil war seems
like a good idea to them. They want to make abortion criminal because of the
sanctity of life, but sending young men and women to their death for Exxon is
perfectly o.k." states Hartmann. "This material seems to be poetry set to
grooves...the lines and lyrics have that ethereal e. e. Cummings stream of
conscienceness...I\'m trying to put together a puzzle of words and sounds that get to
a basic truth somehow, we who love to look the other way at the wrong time, have
found ourselves burdened by a political system that is governed by Big Oil. "
Hartmann explains.

Hartmann is currently getting great response and support for his tunes on his
Myspace page www.myspace.com/georgebushsings, with a continuously growing network
other like- minded environmental, political, music and media minds gather to support
our amendments - freedom of speech and freedom of the press.

Hartmann's last album, "Pacific Electric," pays tribute to Los Angeles' long-lost
Pacific Electric Railway and Hartmann's thoughts of energy, policy and interest of
expanding rail service between and inside cities to promote healthier air and trying
to understand the removal of the Pacific Electric Railway. His previous albums, "3
if By Air" and "The 10th House" both featured CD cover graphics which reflect
Hartmann's passionate visual statement about the fragile nature of the orb we
populate. He feels fossil fuels have no place in our future. "If we continue to
burn them at the current rate, two things will happen as sure as night follows
day.....our economy will be disrupted beyond repair, and our planet, likewise, may
be damaged sufficiently to induce global catastrophe," states Hartmann.

Hartmann is a songwriter, musician, producer, music publisher and record label
executive whose career has encompassed touring the world. From his first overseas
gig in Southeast Asia to entertain soldiers for the USO, to performing with Ike &
Tina Turner in Germany with the Rolling Stones as audience spectators. Jon was
signed as a writer in 1975 for Peacock Music, where he and Jimmy Whitney co-wrote
\"Goodness Knows,\" recorded that year by Michael Jackson. His successful career also
includes performing with Dee Dee Bridgewater, the Staple Singers, Sal Marquez, Phil
Chen, Cathy Segal-Garcia, Jaye P. Morgan, Morey Amsterdam, Barry Zweig, Arthur
Lyman, Bobby Womack, Eartha Kitt and many others. He's currently producing his own
works and others on his own independent label, Jon Hartmann Records.
