Today is the final day of the Pepsi Refresh Project in which Modest Needs is trying to win a $250,000 grant to aid the unemployed in the Gulf. You know this. You've been with us the entire way.
And for that we want to thank you, sincerely, from the bottom of our hearts. We know the process has been frustrating at times, and that the constant reminders could be overwhelming in your already busy lives, so please know how much we appreciate your constant and tireless support.
Today is the last day to vote. We've been in 3rd place for a long while now, even with all your endless help. One last push on our part could send us into the winning 1st or 2nd slots, which will enable us to double the $250K and get it into the hands of those who need it most, right away. Maybe it won't. But at least we can all say we tried.
Just click here to vote: http://gulf.refresheverything.com/gulfmodestneeds
Again, all of us at Modest Needs recognize your efforts in trying to make this happen, and we applaud you most sincerely. Thank you for your passion and your dedication.
Evidence:
1) The projects in 1st and 2nd are tiny, and local, and unknown, and one is a for-profit business that, to put it bluntly, is using this tragedy as a way to generate massive business for themselves that wouldn't otherwise exist.
2) I haven't been able to get the MN page to open to the point where I could vote on it for at least a week (even on a T4 line that's used for generating daily hydraulics data from hundreds of sites).
This whole business is very, very suspicious. Since there's so much cash, AND so much trust involved, I sincerely hope the ICC (or whomever would handle something like this) calls for an audit. I'm off to cc them with my concerns.
