Having issues getting it to let me vote but you’re back at **#15**. I shall push on (or try a different computer - might be my work computer firewall causing problems). ---

I’ve been spreading my other 4 votes more widely and copying our comment everytime I do. Can I just say that I’m amazed at the people asking people to support other initiatives within the SAME category. Seriously people logic! ---

I know you well enough Quasi that you are voting every day and I do appreciate it. I guess my wife’s stress over this rollercoaster ride of voting placement is starting to wear on to me…after all, I do live (and work!) with her…how could it not? BTW…I showed my wife your Blog, and she really is enamored with you…😛 ---

**Back to #15!** Also: Got the principal to send auto-dialed messages to all of the student’s parents at the school. Having the local radio stations do a PSA “Ten Seconds to Text” to our idea during the lunch hour… Starting to hit some church bulletins, although I think mostly the older folks who take bulletins probably think that this is a bit too hard to do… ---

Voting again. Browsing the other contenders in the $5000 category I note that current numbers 1, 3, 5 and 7 are all basset hound-related charities. Now I love basset hounds and used to own one, but that seems a little excessive. ---
