The Surviving Members of Peter, Paul & Mary tells NOM to Stop using their Song

After hearing Peter, Paul and Mary's version of This Land is Your Land at a NOM rally, the Courage Campaign contacted Peter and Paul.

Once they found out, they wasn't happy about it. In fact, they wrote a letter to Brian Brown.


Well, at least they were nice about it.

Interesting Quote: Peter Yarrow from Peter, Paul and Mary

Obama is not a candidate. He is the President-Elect, and this song insults the office of the Presidency, the people who voted for him, as well as those who did not -- and taking a children's song and twisting it in such vulgar, mean-spirited way, is a slur to our entire country and our common agreement to move beyond racism. It is almost unimaginable to me that Chip Saltzman who sent the CD, would seriously be considered for the top post of the Republican National Committee. Puff, himself, if asked, would certainly agree.

Yarrow is the co-writer of the original Puff the Magic Dragon
