> 	Singer-songwriter Carole King will visit Moscow on Wednesday, Aug.
> 25, to campaign for Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry.
> 	King, who lives near Challis, has been speaking on Kerry's behalf
> around Idaho.  She will be at Friendship Square, 4th and Main, at 5:30
> p.m. for a short political rally.  
> The event will also include a celebration of Women's Equality Day.  The
> 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, giving women the right to vote,
> was passed on Aug. 26, 1920. Local Democratic candidates have been invited
> to attend.
> 	"We're thrilled that Carole King has chosen to include Moscow on her
> statewide tour," said Bob Stout, president of the University of Idaho
> College Democrats.  "She'll speak about the need to be informed and
> involved during this important election year."
> 	Her Moscow stopover is sponsored by the College Democrats, the Latah
> County Democratic Central Committee and the Idaho Kerry-Edwards campaign.
> 	King is best known for a series of popular songs in the 1960s and
> 1970s, including the best-selling "Tapestry" album released in 1971.  She
> recently concluded a five-week concert tour that was a retrospective of 40
> years of popular music.
> 	In Idaho, she has been involved in environmental causes in central
> Idaho and has lobbied Congress in support of the Northern Rockies
> Ecosystem Protection Act.
> "As I campaign for Kerry and Edwards around my home state, I'm finding a
> great deal of interest in John Kerry and John Edwards among voters who
> typically identify themselves as Independents and Republicans," King wrote
> recently on her Web site. "I'm here mostly to tell folks what I know about
> the candidates and encourage them to vote for the person, rather than for
> a party."
> 	For more information, contact Stout at (208) 310-9384.
