I will admit right here that I have heard of the band Green Day, but until this contest, I had no clue what the band looked like or what their music sounded like. Didn’t matter to me, I’m all about helping Democrats get elected and turning states blue.
Duh! I just today realized that one of my friends loves Green Day. What a great gift a platinum record by them would be for her! I was going to get her something anyway, but just imagine, if I win the contest, I’ve helped a great candidate win, Terrence Walker. I’ve helped Virginia turn blue, struck a blow for Democracy, and gotten a great gift for my (Republican) friend. It’s just too cool!
So here’s how the contest works— if you contribute to a candidate through this ActBlue page or any combination of candidates, your e-mail address is entered in a random drawing and one contributor— regardless of amount you give— will win the RIAA-certified Nimrod double platinum award, which was originally given to Howie Klein, then president of Green Day’s record company, now treasurer of Blue America. It’s a beautiful, custom award and would look gorgeous on any wall, but especially on the wall of any Green Day fan you might know.
The contest will run until midnight on Saturday night May 13 at midnight (technically May 14). And if you really want the Green Day record but can't afford to make a contribution, send us a postcard to...
Blue America PAC PO Box 27201 Los Angeles, CA 90027
...and let us know and you'll be in the drawing too!
If you’d rather enter by sending a check, you can send it to that PO box too.
Just one entry per e-mail address and if you’re a supporter of any of these candidates, there’s a special built into the contest. The candidate who brings in the most contributions (not the most dollars, the most people), will get a $1,000 check from Blue America. In these legislative races, $1,000 can make all the difference in the world.

Green Day has a song that says “good guys finish last”, but I don’t know...Terrence Walker winning? I have a good feeling about that.
