Second Amendments
For other uses of "Second Amendment", see Second Amendment.
The Second Amendments is a bipartisan conservative rock/country/country rock band, all of the members of which were also members of the United States House of Representatives. It features Representatives Collin Peterson (DFL-Minnesota) on guitar and lead vocals, Thaddeus McCotter (R-Michigan) on lead guitar, Dave Weldon (R-Florida) on bass, Jon Porter (R-Nevada) on keyboards, and Kenny Hulshof (R-Missouri) on drums.
The name is a reference to the United States Constitution as well as a previous band of Peterson's named the Amendments.[1] The previous band broke up after their gigs became partisan with some members wanting to play at the Republican National Convention.[2]
