Central Standard Time Subj: Help keep $250K out of the hands of HSUS! (http://www.naiaonline.org/) (http://www.naiaonline.org/forms/payment.cfm) (http://www.naiaonline.org/about/index.htm) (http://www.naiaonline.org/library/index.htm) (http://www.naiaonline.org/resources/index.htm) (http://www.naiaonline.org/involved/index.htm) (http://www.naiaonline.org/issues/index.htm) (http://www.naiaonline.org/store/index.htm) Last chance to vote in the Pepsi Challenge! Dear Donna, We hate to be a bunch of meanies, but it has come to our attention that HSUS is on course to win $250,000 from the _Pepsi Refresh Project_ (http://www.refresheverything.com/) , and quite frankly, we'd love to see that money go to another, more deserving group. I won't belabor our many issues with HSUS; our members are aware of their anti-breeder/ag agenda, the tiny portion of their budget that goes toward hands-on animal care, the Katrina debacle, etc., etc. So what I will say instead is this: get involved and go vote! HSUS does not need its pockets lined with a quick and easy $250,000 -- especially when they're going to turn right around and use it to perpetuate the _fantasy_ (http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/nationwide-poll-seven-out-of-ten-am ericans-wrongly-believe-the-humane-society-of-the-united-states-is-a-pet-she lter-umbrella-group-85945152.html) that they're just like your hard-working, hands-on local humane society. There are tons of great causes on the board, and you are allotted ten votes. Sign up and have fun picking causes you support -- especially if that cause happens to be in the top 3 in the $250k bracket! _Here's the leaderboard_ (http://www.refresheverything.com/leaderboard) . And if you're an enterprising sort, _you can always suggest NAIA projects for future Refresh Projects_ (http://www.refresheverything.com/how-it-works) (hint: the Dog Population Study, Shelter Project, and/or Animal Hobbies and Careers Workshop could certainly use the help)! Let's make sure the money goes to a worthy cause!
