Madonna says: Vote No on the Marriage Amendment!

Madonna took to the stage at the Xcel Center last night to urge fans to Vote No on the Minnesota Marriage Amendment.

"We are a Democracy and we should have the freedom to choose who we want to marry!" the Material Girl screamed, before enjoining the crowd in a call and response. "Did you hear what I said? Are you going to vote no? Are you going to vote no?"

Given the show's proximity to Tuesday's election, and Madonna's reputation for provocation, it's not surprising that she dabbled in political banter. But the amount of time she spent on the state issue vs. the national election ("Now I don't care who you vote for, as long as you vote for Obama," Madge tossed off at one point) shows that gay marriage is an issue dear to the "Like a Prayer" singer's heart.

I'm pandering Michelle? "The expression of ones views in a manner that appeals to voters."

Wow, the quality of this video is super poor. I'd expect better from City Pages. Maybe not. I took a much better one. http://youtu.be/CwstgQnDAkU

Then you might want to educate yourself beyond political ads that no one is paying attention to at this point anyway. Name calling is not going to solve any issues in MN or the country.

No ones mind has been changed since the day this proposal was announced.

Scott Jochum

I'm just going by the ads.

How very mature of you Scott. Some of us are actually capable of caring about more than one issue at a time you know. Might be beyond your particular mental capabilities I realize... I guess your profile pic is a very appropriate one.
