This is a video I made for Maria Daines and Paul Killington for their song, Peace Wins The Election. This video was part of a campaign to raise money for their animal welfare CD, Shelter Me.

Thanks to all the participants that made it possible for the team of Keep The Green Alive to be able to donate money to Maria and Paul's worthy cause through the peaceful initiative of education through community spirit.
Peace,
Paul D. Richmond
P.S. In Maria's own words about the writing and recording of Peace Wins The Election
"Recorded live with one guitar overdub, inspired by the global issue of the earth's need for renewable energy, discussed by Paul Richmond (Zest) in an interview with Greg Allen, I guess when you really start thinking about the world it's like ripples on a pond and war and destruction of any kind goes hand in hand with ripping up rainforests to make more junk mail."

Midnight eastern standard time, January 31 2009
Dear Maria, Paul, and all that have participated in this peaceful initiative to aid in saving lives through the music of Maria Daines and Paul Killington and their next animal welfare CD, Shelter Me.
We want to extend our deep gratitude to each and every one of you that participated through leaving comments and sharing this initiative with your communities.
Our goal at the team of Keep The Green Alive was to bring people together in a positive common cause with the hope that 1,000 different people would leave 1,000 comments so we could donate the full $1,000.00 Cdn. Funds to Maria and Paul on your behalf toward the first 500 pressings of their CD, Shelter Me.
At this time, midnight eastern standard time, January 31 2009, there are 409 individuals that have shown the power of community through standing up and being counted in for the long haul. The demonstration of this community has humbled us with your amazing participation and comments. Whether it was a word or two, a sentence, or even a paragraph written here, the feeling of hope and encouragement reined supreme and still does!
The theme of hope is what we are all striving towards in wanting to have a better future for us all, humans, animals, sea life and plant life alike. Some comments here specifically resonate with a hope that Maria and Paul will reach their goal in this worthy cause.
In my discussions with Greg Allen about the awarding of the donations in kind, we are happy to be able to give Maria and Paul $409.00 Canadian funds toward their CD. However, we also decided, that due to the amazing show of community support here, we will be awarding the full $1,000.00 Canadian funds to Maria and Paul with honour and pleasure.
On behalf of Paul Richmond, Greg Allen, the team of Keep The Green Alive, and, the 409 participants in creating the gift of giving through leaving comments on the Peace Wins The Election video, we are very happy to be able to give Maria Daines and Paul Killington $1,000.00 Canadian funds to put towards the pressing and release of the first 500 copies of your animal welfare CD, Shelter Me.
Thank you all for your absolutely amazing support and community spirit. We remain your friends, Paul D. Richmond, Greg Allen and the team of, Keep The Green Alive !!!!
P.S. If you have ever wondered whom the team of Keep The Green Alive is, well, it's all of us peace
Dear Zest & everyone involved in Keep The Green Alive, it is an honour to be able to write the first comment on the peace wins the election video on your fantastic channel. When you created this video we had no idea how far it would travel across the globe and how deeply it would resonate in people's hearts. We just want you to know that we feel your caring presence in this world and we are so glad that you are always there.
With respect & all our very best to you
Love from Maria & Paul xx

Dear Maria and Paul, Thank you for the gift of your music, generousity and compassion. Because you are saving lives through your music and peaceful community activism, I couldn't think of a better way to thank you than to support your next animal welfare CD, Shelter Me. When it comes to inspiration, you are both guiding lights for us all. Your friendship and comraderie are cherished and valued at the highest level! So very glad we could give the gift of giving with you both. Peace, Paul / Zest
