Free Money For The Peanut Pet Shelter?

[Babaloo]

Susie (a cardholder since 1978... errr...2000 ) received an email from American Express about a project they are sponsoring.
She responded to the email and the rest will tell you what you need to know.

I'd like to tell you about a project I submitted to Members Project. It's called "Peanut Pet Shelter" and with your support it could get funding from American Express. To nominate this project for potential funding, please go to Peanut Pet Shelter

Members Project is an exciting initiative that brings people together to make a difference in the world. It's simple. People go online to share ideas for projects — and ultimately vote on which projects will share $2.5 million in funding from American Express.

In 2007, Members Project provided clean drinking water to children all across Africa. What will Members Project do this year? The decision is yours. Please nominate my project.

We need as many nominations as we can get to share in the prize package
Do we have a good chance? Who knows? But it’s worth the effort, don’t ya think?
Send the link above to everyone you know. The Shelter needs your votes.
If we get tons and tons of votes, well…this is how the prize is awarded.

We may not provide drinking water for the children of Africa, but I think the Peanut Shelter offers a hell of a lot to this community.
Just so you know, if you aren’t an AmEx cardholder, you will have to register as a guest. I don’t think AmEx is a huge spammer, so we should be safe providing our email address.
Vote People!!!!
Who knows? We may not be asking for money for a while. That’s an incentive to vote, eh?

Hurry…nominations end September 1st.

Lenny is safe and sound and loved because of the Peanut Pet Shelter!!!

I was number 20.

Will link it in my blog, too. That should be good for another 2 or 3.

[MoonDollar]

Done! And I'm sending this link to everyone I know as well!

Good luck

Done! Great idea, the Peanut Shelter is the kind of cause I could see winning or at least placing. Will start chiming in on the comments section and try to spread the word.

Would it be an abuse of power to have my students vote for this when the semester starts?

Yes, but you should do it, anyway.

I would say that's a fantastic Idea, but does your school start before Sept. 1? Here it doesn't start until after the lone weekend, and for my University the 8th.

Is it wrong to nominate two times (or more)? I have a few email accounts and Welshly is an AMEX cardholder.

We should take some laptops to a place with wireless, along 5th, and just collect signatures. Beer Bucket's wireless carry far?
