Hello Sammy. I need to ask a favor. The Capitals have an amazing opportunity to get distribution through Ryko/Warner all across the U.S.! We need to be on CD Baby's top sellers list this month to qualify. Please help us out by clicking this link and buying a CD online. Spread the word! Thank you for your support.
The Worldview website just launched this week and we're trying to get as many people as possible to be part of the word of mouth campaign. The new site is a coalition of child sponsorship organizations and 16 international bands and singer/songwriters united against child poverty.
You can check out the site at worldview.ca and if you think it's worthwhile, tell your friends. There are also lots of tools on the “get involved” page to help you spread the word.
Some of the poorest children on the planet are counting on us to pull this off. Please do what you can.
