side for nothin

I have no idea who Tom Allen is

maybe because I don't live there

(From Stephen King)

I don't often get involved in politics, but I believe there is a great deal
at stake in this year's election. It is my pleasure to announce two very
special events in Bangor, Maine on June 7th to benefit my friend Congressman
Tom Allen's campaign for the U.S. Senate.


Authors Tess Gerritsen, John Grisham, and I will be attending a special
cocktail reception at the Bangor Civic Center. Immediately following that,
we will be reading our favorite passages of some of the stories we have
written - in front of what we're sure will be a great audience at the Bangor
Auditorium. I hope you can join us for these special events.


Saturday, June 7th


Host Committee Cocktail Reception: 5:00-6:00 pm
Bangor Civic Center, Bass Park Complex, 100 Dutton Street, Bangor, ME


General Admission Event: 7:00 pm (Doors Open at 6:00)
Bangor Auditorium, Bass Park Complex, 100 Dutton Street, Bangor, ME


You can buy tickets to both events - or just one - by clicking

And all the proceeds will certainly go to a good cause. Tess, John, and I
believe that we need change in America. What has happened to our country in
the last eight years is downright scary - and believe me, I know scary.


In 2002, Tom Allen courageously stood up to the President and to members of
his own party by voting against the Iraq War. He supports opportunity for
the middle class, energy independence, and affordable health care. Electing
Tom Allen to the U.S. Senate is an important step towards change for our
country, and we are proud to support him.


I hope you'll join us on June 7th. Click here

Sincerely,
Stephen King
