Hello -

USAction is currently in a contest to win a $250,000 grant from Pepsi.  As
part of the Progressive Slate, we are coordinating with 15 other great,
progressive organizations to maximize our voting potential.  Sign up once
with the progressive
slate<http://www.theprogressiveslate.com/pepsi_september.php?name=usaction>and
you can vote for 10 great groups each day!

With three days to go, USAction is in a winning position, as well as many
other groups on the slate!  If USAction wins the money, it will be used to
educate families about their new rights under the health care law, beginning
with young adults under the age of 26 who are now eligible to stay on their
parents’ health insurance plans.

The slate is currently in a great position, but we know there is typically a
lot of movement up and down the leader board during the final days of the
contest, which is why we need your help.

*Can you pledge to vote everyday between now and Oct. 1st and send an e-mail
to your lists today to help push votes in these last days?  *

There are three simple ways for you to vote!

Subject: We have 3 days to help a progressive group win $250,000.

Dear Friend,

Would you be willing to click a link once a day for the next five days to
help a great anti-war and pro-healthcare progressive groups raise a quarter
of million dollars?

USAction / True Majority asked us to help them and 15 other progressive
nonprofits compete in an online fundraiser called "Pepsi Refresh Everything"
— and they need your help.

We don't usually promote contests like this, but Pepsi is giving away some
serious money and this joint progressive slate — made up of non-profit
groups that are challenged to raise needed funds in this difficult economy —
has a real shot at winning.

I received the email from True Majority and signed up to vote for the
progressive slate. We can vote everyday for the next five days to help True
Majority/USAction win $250,000, and the entire slate of 16 progressive
groups win over $1,000,000.

*Please read the message below and join me in taking action to help
progressive groups raise over
$1,000,000.<http://www.theprogressiveslate.com/pepsi_september.php?name=usaction>

Dear (Insert senders name) ,

   Your votes will help us win $250,000 for healthcare!

*Sign up to be a daily
voter.*<http://www.theprogressiveslate.com/pepsi_september.php?name=usaction>

We've teamed up with fifteen other progressive non-profits to compete
jointly in an online fundraiser called "Pepsi Refresh Everything." With only
days left in the contest, *a quarter million dollars is on the line *and we
need your help!

We'd use the money to *educate millions of people about their new right to
health care coverage.* The other groups we're working with will use their
grants to mobilize young voters, improve access to college, fight
homelessness and more. But all that ONLY happens if we get enough votes from
people like you to win the contest.

You can vote for all ten groups, every day. If you sign up below you'll get
a short reminder mail for the next crucial few days to go vote for all these
good causes:

*www.theprogressiveslate.com/pepsi_september.php?name=usaction *

TrueMajority / USAction is only *one* spot away from winning our own grant
of $250,000. We're rising in the polls but only have 4 days to get to the
top.

Working with the other organizations on the slate, the "Pepsi Refresh
Everything" contest is a huge opportunity to win BIG money for progressive
causes. *It's only a few seconds each day to vote, but it's worth
$1,000,000.

*What a simple way for you to have a huge impact on our organization and our
community.

Please sign up today.

Thank you!

— David
