Rock Against Bush

The Rock Against Bush sampler, set to be released on April 19, will likely not include the song "Free John Hinkly" by Propaghandi. Unfortunately, a complicated situation has arisen. The sampler was created in support of the Punkvoter campaign, which aims to achieve the removal of George W. Bush from office. Fat Wreck founder and initiator of the Punkvoter campaign, Fat Mike, cites the reason for the decision not to include the song on the first sampler as the fact that Propaghandi criticizes billionaire George Soros in their song. However, this should not be part of the first sampler, as Soros also supports organizations that, like the Punkvoter campaign, work towards the removal of George W. Bush and thus directly or indirectly support the Punkvoter campaign. The goal is to collaborate with as many partners as possible. At the same time, Fat Mike offered Propaghandi a spot for the same song on the second sampler, which is already planned for August. However, Propaghandi declined this offer.
