Keep Voting and Spreading the Word to Vote for the NFB Youth Slam

Thank you to all who have voted daily in August and who told all of 
their family and friends about our opportunity to win a grant of 
$250,000 from the Pepsi Refresh project. As of right now, we are 
sitting at number seventeen. We need to be the number one or number 
two project in the rankings to win the award. But don't give up yet! 
The NFB is mobilizing its resources to make a strong push to win in 
September, when the 2011 NFB Youth Slam will have the same 
opportunity to win $250,000 from Pepsi. We'll have flyers for 
distribution at sporting events, churches, schools, etc., a new blog 
to cover the movement daily, and an ever-increasing community of 
supporters and partnerships to make sure that blind youth are 
guaranteed access to science subjects in the classroom. An important 
note: For September, we need everyone to vote daily in ALL 3 ways:

    * Text Message: Simply put the number 101913 into the body of a 
text, and send that text to 73774. *Standard text-messaging rates apply
    * Go to 
<http://www.refresheverything.com/nfbyouthslam>www.refresheverything.com/nfbyouthslam, 
click the link to vote, and then choose the log in using Facebook 
option. Once you're successfully logged in, click the vote button on 
our page again and the vote link will disappear and you'll have 
logged your vote!
    * Go to 
<http://www.refresheverything.com/nfbyouthslam>www.refresheverything.com/nfbyouthslam, 
click the link to vote, and then choose the sign in directly with 
Pepsi option.

That's 90 votes that you alone can contribute to the Youth Slam cause 
in September. And don't forget about the last two days of August. Our 
momentum for September will literally be jumpstarted by our work in 
August. This is because our starting point for September will be 
based upon our ranking at midnight on August 31st! So keep up the 
good work, and be sure that others are doing the same on Facebook and 
Twitter. Pass around these helpful instructions for those having 
difficulty with Pepsi's site: 
<http://www.nfb.org/nfb/NewsBot.asp?MODE=VIEW&ID=636>http://www.nfb.org/nfb/NewsBot.asp?MODE=VIEW&ID=636 
and go to <http://www.nfb.org/>www.nfb.org to sign up for daily 
e-mail reminders.
