Looky what I found: http://www.newsmeat.com/celebrity_political_donations/Stevie_Nicks.php

Stevie never talks about politics, so this is very interesting to me. I would have guessed before now that she was a Democrat, but I didn't know for sure.

She gave $1,000 to Gary Hart's 1984 presidential campaign, the same amount she contributed to Al Gore for 2000.

Most recently, she gave $2,000 to Washington state senator Maria Cantwell to use for re-election when her term ends this year. It is a bit puzzling to me. She contributes to someone in Washington, but not someone in Arizona?

"Where's the beef?"

I find it hilarious how that line essentially killed his campaign in '84. And then he was stupid enough to run against the neocons again in '88 while he was having an affair. How patently stupid.

Probably a friend of a friend or some such ****. She voted for CAFTA and Iraq, I believe, but she also voted against Roberts, she's completely pro-choice, and she singlehandedly killed Ted Stevens' bull**** bill that would have allowed oil drilling in Alaska.

nd she singlehandedly killed Ted Stevens' bull**** bill that would have allowed oil drilling in Alaska.

Did she?? :shrug: See im from aus, i dont get what the democrat/republican thing is about and the left/right wing saga is either... :confused:

I know stevie has always been very passionate towards the troops :nod:

Speaking of Al Gore... i was so surprised when bush was elected because i heard even over here thousands of "miles" away how so many important, popular and infuential celebrities were of the Al gore bandwagon... :shrug:

For what it's worth Janis, Gore did win.

$8,000. That's not much over 23 years...and nothing between 84 and 99!

Gore lost by one vote! The Supreme Court voted 5-4 to stop the Florida recount.

He was reelected because Rublicans outnumber Democrats on the Supreme court 5 to 4. Funny coincidence how that was the same vote count to stop the Florida recounts.:shrug:

I hope I won't catch hell for this, but outta curiosity I had looked at Stevie's classmates.com entry (she or at least someone has since had it removed - probably decided it was too much of a hassle). Anyway I looked at it twice - once was before 9/11 and once was after. Pre- 9/11, it listed her political beliefs as "Very Liberal." Post-9/11, she had changed it to "Moderate." Of course, there's no way to know if it was a legit. entry or not, but it seems that people would be interested so I thought I'd just mention it.

Maria Cantwell is a very important Senator.
We should all be supporting her. It doesn't matter if you don't live in Seattle or the state of Washington. She's one of our best advocates in DC.

Stevie is very smart - her contributions clearly indicate this.
She doesn't like to publicize it, but she is very political -
and I suppose it's good that she keeps it out of her music.

Being politically active is a good thing - even if it's just writing checks for candidates - it's all part of the process.

You don't pal around with the Dixie Chicks, Sheryl Crow and Don Henley and not consider yourself a proud Democrat!

A friend of mine saw her reading the Op Ed pages of the NY Times once in an airport. Only smart folk do that!
