Why? What Have You Heard?: Sticky: Violence UnSilenced Does it Again

The 2010 Bloggies

Voting Ends Today! Fresh on the heels of its win as a 2009 Diamond In The Rockpile it seems that Violence UnSilenced has been named a finalist for a real award. VU is one of the 5 finalists in the Best Community Blog category of the 2010 Bloggies.

Maggie had this to say on the subject over at VU, and I can't think of anything I'd want to add to her thoughts. It's an honor for Violence UnSilenced, but more than that, it's validation for all those courageous ones who tell their stories there.

After the last *ahem* campaign for a major award, I'm not much up for an encore. So I'm gonna leave this post here until voting closes January 31st and let it go at that. If you're inclined to vote, click on the image over there and scroll waaaay down on the right until you find the category Best Community Blog. Click the radio button for VU and scroll waaay down to the right again. There's a word verification form and you'll need to enter your email address. Then submit your vote. You'll get a confirmation email sent to the address you specified, with a link that you'll have to click to verify your vote. (Which will keep things a lot more honest than... ahem... "other" such contests.) I don't know if multiple votes are allowed or not, but there's nothing that says they're not. So feel free to try it and tell the rest of us.

Stumble This!

Kimmie said...: Yeay for Violence UnSilenced! I will go and vote. I am happy for Maggie to be among the finalists...knowledge and awareness are key to helping those who suffer needlessly. God Bless Maggie. :)

Mojo...I also wanted to let you know that I have a new grandson that I have featured on my blog. His name is Peyton and he was born on November 13th.

I have missed your blog over the past months, although I do peep in once in awhile and as always, I am delighted with your posts. You reach out in a way that is very special and difficult to achieve for the everyday blogger. Thank you for that.
Blessings...Kimmie; 1/30/2010 3:16 PM
