I saw a pleading for Facebook votes threads a few days ago, and while I know this request may seem selfish, I figured I would do it for a good cause.
My girlfriend works in Medical Transcriptions for US Veterans, many of whom are disabled, and cope and deals with difficult life back in America. Her job is not a glamorous job, nor does it really pay much to live on, but she does it because it allows her to work and stay at home. She works for a company called America's Pride in MD, and you can see they're legit. Their website is here.
https://sites.google.com/a/americas-pride.com/www/
America's Pride got started about 8 years -- with the assistance of Chimes International, and they are a non-profit organization.

With all that said, this is a plead from me (since I do not have a facebook account) to those of you with facebook account to vote for a good cause.
In summary:
To vote for Chimes, visit Toyota 100 Cars for Good on Facebook | Facebook between 6 a.m. and Midnight this Sunday, August 7. This is the only day and time you may vote for Chimes. You may also use this link to set an automated email/Facebook reminder to vote for Chimes on Sunday.
Thank you. Pengy.
PS. I have attached the original request below (from an e-Mail text that my girlfriend received that contained the original text).
--- Email #1 ---
Subject: Chimes Toyota 100 Cars for Good
Background: The Chimes is a non-profit organization that supports individuals with severe disabilities. They employ over 2000 wonderful Americans that are getting an opportunity to work. I spent 18 years working with The Chimes and similar organizations providing opportunities for employment for individuals with special needs.
The Chimes helped America's Pride get started 8 years ago and is our minority partner. There would not be an America's Pride without The Chimes. If you have a facebook account, please vote for The Chimes tomorrow. In addition, please forward this Email to family and friends and ask them to vote for The Chimes.
Thanks for your support.
Regards,
