Phillip, vote for us please

Hi Phillip, We rocked it in the elections and people are taking notice...We were just nominated for a Webby Award (!) and we need your help to win. What's a Webby? Hailed as the "Internet's highest honor" by the New York Times, the Webby Award is the largest international award celebrating great online work. We've been nominated in the category of best 'activism' site. The winners of the Webby Awards are decided by the votes of the people (we thought this was appropriate)...and now we need your help to win. Here's how you can vote: Go through the quick sign-up process (it costs nothing) Click on 'Website' voting Click on the 'Society' category Click the 'Activism' award Cast your ballot for ROCK THE VOTE Leave a comment about why you voted This awards show is like the Oscars for the Internet world and we are the Slumdog Millionaire of this season. Compared to the major ad agencies and corporations we are up against, our staff of 7 is scrappy, fights hard, comes in under budget and, yes, with your help we will take everyone by surprise. Will you vote for us and send it around to everyone you know? As this year's Webby Award show host Seth Meyers said, "It's a privilege to once again play a role in honoring the two percent of the Internet that's not porn-driven." Lets make sure he is honoring Rock the Vote! Thanks for voting, Best, Heather P.S. And don't forget to spread the word... Twitter: RT @rockthevote: Vote for Rock the Vote to win a Webby Award for best 'activism web site' - http://pv.webbyawards.com/ Post on Facebook MySpace, and your own personal blog- tell everyone you know.

The Divided We Fail April Update

 

April 2009 The White House has set the agenda: health reform by the end of the year. It's now up to the Divided We Fail coalition to keep the heat on Congress to take action. While Congress was home for the April recess, Divided We Fail supporters like you wrote letters to the editor of their local papers or picked up the phone and called their members of Congress in their local offices. Now that Congress is back, let's remind them we can't afford to wait for health care reform. Tell Congress that the cost of doing nothing is simply too high.  |WHAT'S NEW| On April 9th, Divided We Fail, AARP and the Mason City Chamber of Commerce sponsored "The Cost of Doing Nothing on Health Care Reform" with Iowa Senator Charles Grassley, Ranking Member of the Senate Finance Committee. Sen Grassley is working closely with Finance Committee members, including the Committee Chair, Sen. Max Baucus, to find bipartisan solutions to the issues facing Congress, including health care reform. Watch the event and see why Sen. Grassley agrees that we must have reform by the end of the year.  |TAKE ACTION| Earlier this month, over 50,000 people joined AARP's first Nationwide Tele-Town Hall on health reform. Nancy LeaMond, AARP's Executive Vice President of Social Impact and director of the Divided We Fail initiative, hosted the two-hour event. She was joined by a number of speakers, including featured guest Nancy-Ann DeParle, Director of the White House Office of Health Reform. Learn more about the Tele-Town Hall and read excerpts of DeParle's answers to questions from participants -- and then forward them on to your friends and families. |TELL US WHAT YOU THINK| At Divided We Fail, we talk a lot about the "cost of doing nothing." But it's not just talk. The AARP Public Policy Institute has outlined the costs in dollars and cents. Take a look and then let us know what you think! |CHAMP OF THE MONTH| Our Champ of the Month for April is Robin Anderson, the Executive Director of the Mason City Chamber of Commerce.  Robin played a huge role in the success of the "Cost of Doing Nothing" forum (with Senator Grassley, mentioned above), including assisting with media, community outreach, and event set-up. She also championed the Divided We Fail message to the Mason City Chamber Board of Directors -- who subsequently joined the Divided We Fail Iowa team.  Thanks Robin!
