[Dailydrool] Shelter Challenge Voting

[Marilyn Burns]

If you been checking the voting percentages throughout the Shelter Challenge 
contest - you HAVE to be aware that Labor of Love Rescue has been gaining on 
us at a steady pace.  On October 17th - I posted on the Drool that we had 
over a 12% lead on them.  Within a little over a month, they have erased 
that lead and continue to add to it daily.  They now have us by almost a 
half percent!

In the beginning of November, an Ohio Drooler, Melinda, reported to us that 
Labor of Love was gaining so much ground due to the assistance of the Cat 
Rescue, Friends of Felines, that won the 1st weekly prize in this challenge. 
They are both from the same - relatively small town - in Ohio.

To illustrate just how strong this Cat Rescue is...  In 2011, they won 4 
times in 4 challenges - including the Grand Prize for a total of $10,000! 
In 2012, they have again won the Grand Prize and have won in ALL the 
challenges for a total of $9,000!  As Labor of Love also won a total of 
$2,000 during the last challenge period, it IS likely that it was due to the 
Friends of Felines assistance.

As our lead in the Ohio race has been decreasing - there have been post 
after post regarding voting.  It has had virtually no effect!  Why? - 
because this bunch is a juggernaut!

The ONLY chance to win the $1,000 State Prize is to temporarily switch our 
support for Labor of Love Rescue so that they win the $1,000 Weekly Prize 
and become inelligible for the coveted State Prize.   With less than 3 more 
weeks to pull this off - we had better reach a concensus soon.

These guys are so strong - they might not even NEED our help to win the 
Weekly Prize - but it should be a "lock" if we add our votes to theirs! 
Sadly, without doing something this drastic - logic and the voting numbers 
indicate we are doomed.
