JoBros -- go vote!

By Joseph Curl on Aug. 18, 2008 into Joe Curl

The Jonas Brothers -- the cute one, the really cute one and the one with the long sideburns -- hit the White House this morning for a tour and a taping of a public service announcement.

With President Bush out of town, the place was a ghost town, but a mom traipsing through on a private tour with her twin children just happened to be in the right place at the right time.

"Now!?" said Julia Ross, 8, when a small gaggle of reporters milling about in the briefing room told her that the JoBros were coming out any minute. Her brother, Ethan, was far more quotable than any White House spokesman.

"I'm flipped out!" he gushed. "I think they're cool!"

Their mom, Janice, sounded convincing when she said, "We really didn't know."

The Bros were running late, showing up 30 minutes after scheduled. Standing in fromt of the podium, they posed for a few pictures with the lucky Ross twins, then held a gaggle (seriously) on the White House driveway, just off the West Wing. The trio (Nick, Joe and Kevin) held court for five minutes or so, but there were only two reporters on hand (there were plenty of TV cameras).

They talked about the PSA they were shooting with the (Nick has diabetes), but wouldn't say who they were supporting in the presidential race. Kevin turns 21 on Nov. 5 (the day after Election Day), Joe just turned 19 on Friday and Nick is 16. Just as they began their "gaggle," a handler asked that questions be limited to their White House visit, but one reporter asked about the coming election.

"As a band, we are not in a place to endorse any of those who campaign but we do, you know, me and Joe are both of age, of voting age, so we do endorse voting, getting to know the issues, learning about the candidates and learning from -- and learning what you know and make a decision for yourself," Kevin said.

Asked if he'd be voting, he said: "Absolutely. I think it's everyone's, you know, duty as a citizen, as, you know, a citizen of the United States, to vote."

"This year will be both of our first times," Joe added. Kevin said no candidate has approached them about an endorsement, but he said that it would be "an honor." Sen. Barack Obama has said several times that his preteen daughters are big JoBros fans, so perhaps he'll give Kevin a call soon.

DARRYL KINNEY 7301 98TH AVE UNITD KENOSHA.Wi. 53142 April 28,2008 MEMO ADDRESSED TO THE UNITED STATES SENATE I am a citizen of the United States and have been addressing several Senators with the issues and problems to follow including Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama as well as several others and will in the near future be speaking in front of you all because of Americans being held hostage by Navy personnel from Great Lakes Navy base as well as by veterans used to Stalk and intimidate by the abuse of Power of the IRS and the United States Dept. of Justice. I have been taken out of and kept from employment by them as they attempt a hostile search for money, i have my phones tapped and computer hacked by government personnel spending alot of government budget following me everyday for at least 8 months, all my family and past associates has been paid by them to create some ftctious story because of a conspiracy, initated by the FBI from Chicago and brought to Wisconsin. All of this is a clear violation of my Civil Rights and also the rights of my daughter who has been questioned and harrassed at school by them, she is 5 years old. I have had to replace my computer 3 times because they are camped upstairs and i listen to them thru the vents as they call themselves strategizing but not very well if I hear your every attempt to play on American citizens.My family has had their cars as well as i have tampered by them in and attempt to get us or me to spend money, they have raised bills above normal, been in my garage leaving lights on in an order to do so stopped my emails from reaching their intended destinations and faked as the recipient, they have acted as operators and fake being the person I called on the other line, I have been told by the police that they would not do anything because they know who it is which is fither showing the attempt to keep me hostage. I have filed lawsuits and will continue because I believe even that was manipulated by them as everything and everyone else has been, I have talked to the security chief after calling the Chief of Great Lakes Navybase, no cooperation, Bush is who I believe brought this because of corrupt judges from Chicago, after I brought this out to officials. American citizens who are not terrorist being treated as if they are, I say send some more troops to war since we have so many of them to follow people around everyday, someone is reimbursing them for this large price tag of surviellance. I see the plan must be to discredit or in gov. terms attempt to burn me or ruin my career because they have some corrupt people in the government. sincerly, Darryl Kinney 7301 98th Ave. UnitD Kenosha,WI 53142 262-237-1310
