  'United We Stand Festival' to
  Rock The Nation Awake

        The beginning of the end of the two-party system

LITTLE ROCK, AR – Free & Equal, an election reform organization and 
sponsors of the 2012 third party Presidential Debates today announced an 
"A" list line up of musicians, celebrities, comedians and grassroots 
leaders who will congregate in Little Rock, Arkansas on June 22, at the 
Verizon Arena for the ‘United We Stand (UWS) Festival’

“This festival will be the kick-off event for a peaceful, powerful and 
positive movement," said Christina Tobin, founder of Free & Equal and 
co-moderator of the 2012 Third Party Presidential Debates with Larry 
King. "We will ignite a true grassroots effort to break the stranglehold 
of the two-party system. We intend to reform the US electoral process 
once and for all,” she said. “This festival is the beginning of the 
solution to the political status quo problem.”

*Ralph Nader*, a five-time candidate for president, author, lecturer and 
political activist is expected to speak about electoral reform at the 
UWS festival. “The democracy gap in our politics and elections spells a 
deep sense of powerlessness by people who drop out, do not vote, or 
listlessly vote for the ‘least worst’ every four years and then wonder 
why after every four years the ‘least worst’ gets worse,” said Nader in 
his Green Party Candidacy speech in 2000.

*Michael O’Donnell*, known for his artistic work in Hollywood movies 
such as Pirates of the Caribbean, Terminator, Spider-Man 2 and Gone in 
60 Seconds, is working with Free & Equal to produce the United We Stand 
Festival. The band Golden State, led by *James Grundler*, is confirmed 
to perform. Golden State’s song "Bombs" (End This War) became a 
signature ballad for Ron Paul supporters and other anti-war advocates.

Other UWS Festival participants include:

· *Jordan Page*: liberty musician

· *Tatiana Moroz*: singer-songwriter

· *Josh Tolley*: Host of the Josh Tolley show, with 9 million listeners 
per week

· *Elizabeth Imus-Zero*: comedian, host, writer, producer and daughter 
of talk show host Don Imus

· *Amber Lyon*: Emmy Award-Winning journalist, whistle blower and former 
CNN reporter

·* Dan Johnson*: Founder of People Against the National Defense 
Authorization Act (PANDAA)

· *Larry Pratt*: President of Gun Owners of America

· *Sheriff (Richard) Mack*: former sheriff of Graham County, AZ and 
advocate of State and individual rights

· *Maytha Alhassen*: Syrian journalist, writer, editor and University of 
Southern California Provost Ph.D.

Others who have been invited include musical artists *Billy Corgan* of 
Smashing Pumpkins, *Dave Grohl* of Foo Fighters, *Krist Novoselic* of 
Nirvana, *Lupe Fiasco*, *Paul McCartney*, *Ziggy Marley*, *Michael 
Franti* and SOJA. Invitations have also been extended to Hollywood 
celebrities including *John Cusack*, *Vince Vaughn*, *Joe Rogan*, 
*Oliver Stone* and comedian *Drew Carey*. Politicians including *Dr. Ron 
Paul* (R), *Gary Johnson* (L), *Jill Stein* (G), former Minnesota 
Governor *Jesse Ventura* (Reform), and *Dennis Kucinich* (D) have 
received invitations. *Larry King*, author *G. Edward Griffin*, talk 
show host *Alex Jones*, and former NJ Superior Court Judge and Fox News 
analyst *Andrew Napolitano* have also been invited to participate in the 
festival. Additional speakers and sponsors are expected to be announced 
soon.

Tobin went on to say: “Arkansas was a natural choice for the location of 
the UWS Festival. While participating in an End the Fed rally in Little 
Rock last November, I met an incredible and diverse group of people from 
all parties; Tea Party, Occupy Arkansas, Students for Liberty, 
Libertarian, Green, as well as Democrat and Republican. They all were 
willing to set aside their differences and unite behind the need for 
electoral reform, to inspire others to peacefully end ballot barriers 
and create genuinely free elections. That is what Free & Equal and the 
United We Stand Festival is all about”

If you believe in what we are doing then NOW is the best time to show 
your SUPPORT.  A successful UWS will fund projects such as a *_National
