Disturbing The Peace Contest

embed errored

You can win an autographed copy of a new book, Disturbing The Peace-- 415 Records And The Rise Of New Wave, along with a sealed companion CD, 415 Records-- Still Disturbing The Peace, with songs by many of the groups author Bill Kopp wrote about in the book. And, on top of that, the candidate of your choice will get a $1,000 check from Blue America for their campaign. There are two books and two CDs, double your chance to win. The contest ends next Monday at noon (your time), Valentine's Day-- that's February 14.



So, here's how to enter. Just contribute to the campaign of the candidate you like best on this page. Any amount is fine. The candidate who gets the most contributions-- not the most money, the most individual donations for a unique e-mail address-- wins the $1,000 check with a note saying it came to them because of you. Meanwhile, your name gets entered in a drawing and next Monday we'll pick two people to win the two packs of a book and a CD.


And here's the... quirk. Since every candidate on the page supports the Green New Deal, Medicare for All, racial justice reform, women's choice and the other issues Blue America stands for, the way we're asking you to pick a candidate is based on... their favorite musical artist! I know that sounds different, but... since they are already all excellent candidates politically, why not pick one based on what you can glean about their choice of music. I asked each of these candidates to tell me who their favorite band or musician is:



Shervin Aazami (CA)- New Order

Sergio Alcubilla (HI)- The Temptations

Jason Call (WA)- Pink Floyd

Ally Dalsimer (VA)- Carole King

Melanie D'Arrigo (NY)- Smashing Pumpkins

Chris Deluzio (PA)- Lady Gaga

Cristina Garcia (CA)- Cyndi Lauper

Alan Grayson (FL)- Joni Mitchell

Morgan Harper (OH)- Lauryn Hill

Steve Holden (NY)- U2

Lourin Hubbard (CA)- Kendrick Lamar

Alexandra Hunt (PA)- Imagine Dragons

Daniel Lee (CA)- Prince

Tom Nelson (WI)- AC/DC

Christine Olivo (FL)- Janet Jackson

Mike Ortega (CA)- Pink Floyd

Chris Preece (KY)- Iron Maiden

Kylie Taitano (CA)- the Postal Service

Neal Walia (CO)- Mos Def


Feel free to contribute to any of these stellar candidates, but...
