We Got This!

"I tell him I tried. I tried to keep memory alive; I tried to fight those who would forget. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. There is so much injustice & suffering crying out for our attention. We must take sides. We must interfere. -E.W.

Need Your Vote! Battle for a Better Cause.

August 31, 2011 by Ryan's Rally LLC 47 Comments

Each week WUSA Televison(Channel 9) will chooses five of the region’s top football games, then it’s up to voters to pick which match-up will be named “Game of the Week” during “Toyota’s Highschoolsports.net Report.” The Broad Run vs. Briar Woods game that is holding the Battle for a Bette Cause fundraiser for Ryan is among the five and currently in holding a slim first place margin. We need your vote!

WUSA will send a photographer to the game that receives the most votes (and you can tune in to the 11 o’clock sportscast on Friday nights to catch highlights from the winning game). The poll is open until Thursday at 10:00 p.m. and we will announce the winner on-air every Thursday night.

Click here to vote for Broad Run at Briar Woods! Make sure to VALIDATE it by entering the random characters. The poll is on the lower-half of the page bottom of the page.

    Another dozen or so votes from me today. Plus I’m the administrator for an online forum for exchange students, and I asked the young’uns to get on and vote, and they’re responding. So there are votes coming in from all over the U.S. and several foreign countries. 🙂

    7:30PM Wed. — we are winning by a thin margin. Our boy needs this exposure to help more of the community to know about his courage and fight to get better. Please help!! I’ve been cleaning out cookies but it still keeps telling me I already voted. Now I’m looking for every electronic device in this house that I can use to vote. We only have until 10:00AM tomorrow morning. Spread the word–thank you!!

        Paula, I asked relatives to pass it on, Natalie is having her 100-member sorority do it as well. Some of my colleagues out in Iowa are doing it, and my relatives in TX, IL, MA are also doing it 🙂 Does it let you vote more than once?

        People can vote as often as they want, but it takes a step or two. You have to clear cookies from the browser between votes.
