4/14 RECAP

#PoemsForPups / #VoteDrStein update!

tinyurl.com/VoteDrStein

Beginning of 4/15 has shown fantastic improvement! P4P and other concerted efforts to raise the vote count (re-blogs, shares, emails, & tweets from Chu, Ellina, Emily, Melissa, and more!) have proved extremely successful!

In 1 days time, we've moved from 6th into 5th, and are already into 4th place only a few hours into 4/15. Keep up the good work, keep voting (home, work, and phone!), and we'll have another wave of poems and updates tomorrow!

Those who notified me of their votes cast can find their rewards below: a selection of haikus! If you didn't get a poem in today, there is still plenty of time! But the important thing is to vote, vote, vote for Dr. Stein!
