Rocker Jon Bon Jovi has joined the ever-growing list of artist who oppose the use of their work in the political process without authorization.

The musician, who hosted a hyped $30,000-per-person fund-raising dinner for Democrat Barack Obama at his house, issued a statement criticizing John McCain's running mate, Gov. Sarah Palin for using his "Who Says You Can't Go Home" song at her rallies.

"We are surprised to hear that our song, 'Who Says You Can't Go Home' was used by the McCain campaign at rallies yesterday and today," the band said in a statement posted on TMZ today, "We wrote this song as a thank you to those who have supported us over the past twenty-five years."

On the bright side, Bon Jovi, unlike other musicians who shared the same fate, has not yet threatened legal action.

"The song has since become a banner for our home state of New Jersey and the defacto theme song for our partnerships around the country to build homes and rebuild communities. Although we were not asked, we do not approve of their use of 'Home'," the statement added.

Other artists have previously spoken out against John McCain's presidential campaign for using their songs without their permission.

Last week, rock group Foo Fighters complained about the campaign playing its 1997 hit "My Hero" at rallies. Van Halen, which complained in 2004 when George W. Bush used its 1991 hit "Right Now," has objected to McCain's use of the same song. John Mellencamp complained about the use of his 1983 song "Pink Houses." Warner Music Group demanded that McCain remove videos from YouTube that mock Barack Obama as a "celebrity" using the classic 1967 Frankie Valli song "Can't Take My Eyes Off You."

The Republicans were sued by Jackson Browne in August, after they reportedly used his song "Running On Empty" in an ad for John McCain.

Last month, the 1977 song "Barracuda" by Heart, was played after Palin's big speech at the Republican National Convention in order to highlight Palin's high school basketball-team nickname, "Sarah Barracuda." However, Heart's songwriters, Ann and Nancy Wilson, released a statement immediately saying, "Sarah Palin's views and values in no way represent us as American women" and insisting that the McCain-Palin campaign should not use their song again.

Stevie Wonder, Kanye West, Sheryl Crow and other musicians last month released an album of songs that have been used at Obama rallies, while soul legend Sam Moore has asked the Obama campaign organizers to stop using his hit, "Soul Man."
