Macklemore: Join The ACLU

Via press release:

Rap superstar Macklemore today released a video urging people to join the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and get its legendary membership card. In a 50-second spot launched on his Facebook page and promoted via his Twitter feed, the MTV Video Music Award-winning rapper encourages his fans to get the card “that lets my gay friends marry the hell out of each other.” The video presents a funny but hard-hitting defense of free speech with lines like: “I’ve got a lot of things to do during the day. So something like being beaten with a club, pepper-sprayed, and tased for expressing my political views would really slow me down. That’s why I carry the ACLU card.”

Details (and a contest to meet Macklemore) are here.
