Vote Early And Often - Soldier's Angelsby Armed Liberal at May 5, 2008 4:03 PM
NZ Bear reminds me that Patti Patton-Bader, founder of Soldiers’ Angels, is one of the fifteen semi-finalists in NBC’s "America’s Favorite Mom" contest. There are five categories, and she is nominated with two other mom's in the "military mom's" category. The winner receives a $250,000 cash prize, and Patti has said she'd like to use the money to build a ranch for soldiers and their families to vacation at with assistance from Angel families. Tomorrow, Patti will be featured in the morning on NBC’s Today Show, and all day today (but ONLY today) folks will have the opportunity to vote for her at http://www.nbc.com/Americas_Favorite_Mom/ . Allegedly everyone can vote up to ten times per email address, so I'm hoping folks will vote early and often! I've 'adopted' soldiers through Soldiers Angels, and donated to Project Valor-IT which provides speech-activated laptops to wounded solders - so I unqualifiedly support her and her work. Regardless of how you feel about the war, I'd hope we can all agree that the soldiers - particularly the wounded ones - deserve all the help we (and the government - but that's another story) can give them.
