Pepsi Refresh Contestants: You can be on the voting slate at our Friday rally.

Pepsi Refresh readers, get on the slate as we text in five votes each. Vote for us, and get us to work for you. Text 109826 to Pepsi 73774. $50K candidates, this includes you, too!

We've been doing our best to get votes for the Pepsi Refresh Project entry for the Scout Sea Base.  On the way, we've taken on partners and rallied for other local causes.  BUT sometimes you have to give a few votes to get a few votes.

This message is to you, Pepsi Refresh contestants!

Our puppy Chowder (he'll always be our puppy) is calling his friends to a rally on Friday to get more votes for the Sea Base in Alamitos Bay.  He and I are talking about the slate, and we've decided that it's important to include another community in the group.

So.. We'd like to add Pepsi Refresh Project contestants to our community.

How do you get on the rally's voting slate?

1/ Vote for the Sea Base project (text 109826 to Pepsi 73774) - I will have to take your word for it, but we're all honorable people.

2/ Add a comment that you have voted with your cause and put your text number into the comment.

3/ Chowder will choose one, possibly two candidates, but promises to not be biased towards dog or animal causes (He realizes that fairness is extremely important here).  The number of voting entries received from any particular Pepsi Refresh candidates will definitely be a factor, but the quality of the comments may also apply.  $50K candidates, this includes you!

4/ Chowder's choice will be on the Chowder's Five-Vote slate at Friday's rally!

Good luck, everyone!  The decision will be made up to 9:30 AM on Friday, Nov 25th!  We'll post Chowder's Five-Vote slate on Friday with some video footage of the rally.

PLEASE VOTE THREE WAYS EVERY NOVEMBER DAY!

Please vote all three ways every November day remaining for the Long Beach community's Sea Base Kitchen Project:

Text* 109826 to Pepsi (73774) to vote from your mobile.

Note: For those of you who are not familiar with Scouting, there are several ranks for elementary school cubs in 1st through 5th grade, in order of their advancing age: Tiger, Wolf, Bear and Webelos.  Chowder has chosen to be and remain a Wolf cub as he feels it identifies with his roots.
