An R.E.M. song provides the soundtrack for a new video from MoveOn.org in support of health care reform. The ad, which uses personal stories to make a case for a public option, uses the slogan "We Can"t Afford To Wait" to emphasize the urgency for far-reaching reform. MoveOn members from all walks of life hold up handmade signs explaining how their medical conditions or those of loved ones rendered them out of money and almost out of hope. The series of images is touching and plays towards an emotional reaction, which is only enhanced by the strained pleading of Michael Stipe"s vocals over a lonely mandolin. Everybody hurts indeed.LinkHere
