7th Place—Let's Fight Back
January 18, 2010 by Victoria Tonight we slipped into 7th place. I know this is disappointing to all of us, but we can't give up. The massive energy that everyone is putting behind this is having a direct and immediate impact. It is incredible really to stop and look at what we are all accomplishing. To see the movement behind this is truly inspiring. It is not one effort or two or three; it is the dedication of many. And we need dedication. We are all tired, have moments of feeling defeated, even angry -- but keep your motivation -- we only have until Friday. Think of new avenues, new people to contact, new tactics to take. But don't give up. We can't. The numbers for the 4, 5, 6 spots are neck and neck and so we can't give up now. We can climb the leaderboard and make sure to get a monetary prize. We haven't thrown the towel in for the $1 Million yet either. We can keep climbing.To clarify --
#1 = $1 Million
#2 to 6 = $100,000
We are so proud of everyone. We are so humbled by the support. We are so honored to be fighting for this opportunity with all of you! You are extraordinary people.
