Vote HERE. The contest ends in a little under five days! The Prizes: We are awarding $250 to the top 10 military related blogs, according to votes from our users. And the top military blog will receive a total of $3,000. Thanks for all you've done so far, but this is the final stretch. I've decided to pimp myself for votes after work. It may work, but I'm afraid it'll backfire like it did for Matt from Blackfive when I started showing naked pictures him. Old News: Ladies and Gentlemen, ASP is back in the lead. . .by one vote . A good friend of mine helped put out the word on several different blogs, one of them high profile, and it has helped us make a strong move. Thank you, Chris. Remember, the money is being donated to the Camp Lejeune Ballerinas. WE'VE LOST THE LEAD!! My a difference a matter of hours makes. SGT Hook has been drafting B5 for some time now, but made his move to pass and slingshotted past us as well. We gotta be relentless. Those little girls need us more than that. Don't forget to vote! We're a little late in this game, but the VA Mortgage Center is sponsoring a contest to find the top 10 military blogs with the possibility of guest blogger status at their new blog. Update from CJ: Current standing is ASP in the lead with 268 votes, followed by Blackfive (251) and SGT Hook (232). Hook is coming up strong, so don't let down your guard. Thanks for everything you're doing. Keep spreading the word and helping us make this a reality for these little girls. The race is heating up. With only one week left to go, we're in the lead, but we still need your help. If you have a blog and you have one reader or 40,000,000 please post this contest there. If you have a mailing list, send it out to everyone you know. If you're a member of an online group, post something on the message board. "It takes a village." (Did I just quote Hillary?).
