3. CITIZENS RULE, ANTI-CAMPBELL COMPILATION

Now available through Scratch Records in CITIZENS RULE, an unprecedented
outpouring of musical activism related to the BC government.  Available at
REDCAT RECORDS on 28th and Main and at locations all throughout BC.

RELEASE PARTIES FEATURING SOME OF THE PERFORMERS INVOLVED:
May 12th at the Anza Club in Vancouver
May 14th at Logans in Victoria

Scratch records declared the official release of CITIZENS RULE to be on
May 3rd.  This CD features Todd Butler, DOA, Parksville Rancher, Amy
Honey, Pete Campbell, Joey Only and more. It is a very diverse, enjoyable
and hopefully well-received.

It's a completely non-partisan, not-for-profit project put together by
all-volunteer musicians and artists. Our only goal is to call attention to
the damage our Premier has done to the less fortunate in our province,
tell stories of how we despise him, and have a little fun in the process.
We'll be offering these CD's to BC social agencies who've been affected by
the Liberal Government's cuts over the past four years. CD's will be sold
at cost for $5. each postage paid and can be sold by your agency for $10
or $15. Any profits made by us through other sales avenues will be
diverted to BC social agencies too, primarily womens groups, childrens
groups and food banks.

Be sure to check out the CBC Canada Now story on CITIZENS RULE.  It's only
3:25min long and features Betty Cracker, Joey Only, Joey Shithead, and
Pete Campbell.  They also feature this Liberal loser named Baba Brinkman
who is son to MLA Joyce Murray, and he raps about why people should vote
for his mom.  What a loser, he reminds me of when that guy was trying to
become a rapper on Trailer Park Boys.  Go to Band Battle on the page:
