Stuff the Ballot Box

RantWoman heartily endorses the following solicitation. It provides the opportunity to:

--Stuff the Ballot Box, vote early and often, every day between now and May 17.

--Tell a large corporation how to spend its money with absolutely no expenditure of anything but time on your part.

What's not to like? Okay, you do have to register to vote and they will offer to put you on a mailing list, but that's a small price to pay for The Franchise!


Perkins School for the Blind solicitation:
Good Morning,
I would truly appreciate your assistance. In life there are fewopportunities where you can vote early and often (except in Boston wheresome politicians believe this is a natural right)! This is one of those opportunities.Perkins Pond has been closed and fenced off since 1982. Today you can helpbring this natural historic resource back to life.
We have been selected as a finalist by the National Trust for HistoricPreservation to participate in the Partners in Preservation online competition for up to $100,000 from American Express.
>From April 14 - May 17, the public is invited to vote here for the places they would like to see receive preservation funding. Each person can vote once daily for any of the 25 historic places. The winner of the public vote is guaranteed to receive a grant!
We need your daily vote to win! VOTE AT:http://www.partnersinpreservation.com/

For years, the pond was a place for students to experience nature. There was boating in the summer and ice skating in the winter. It remained a useful feature on campus until it was closed.
This project will restore Perkins Pond to the safe, accessible and beautiful resource it once was. This is a restricted opportunity. The prize money can be used exclusively for the Perkins Pond.
VOTE DAILY ONLINE and please share this exciting news with your friends and family!
THANK YOU!
Steven

Full disclosure: RantWoman read the list of other worthy applicants, and found a couple others she is probably going to share her daily votes with! That is the nature of asking RantWoman for her vote, but Louisa May Alcott and a certain ballet theater may be hard to say no to!
