Vote for TWLOHA

Hey guys and gals. To Write Love On Her Arms, a movement that Switchfoot has been supportive of since its beginnings last March, is an amazing tool for giving hope to young people around the world who struggle with painful issues. It is currently a finalist in the Myspace Impact Awards, and with your help, it can reach even more people. All you have to do is go to this page and vote for TWLOHA. You can vote once a day but Friday (Aug 17) is the last day to vote! Jamie, the founder of TWLOHA, had this to say in his blog on TWLOHA's myspace:
If we win, it's pretty huge: MySpace donates $10,000 to the winner. If we win, half of that money will go directly to treatment and recovery through the organizations we currently support (Hopeline, Mercy, Teen Challenge, S.A.F.E., KidsHelp Australia), and the other half will go a long way towards helping us launch LIVE HELP via twloha.com.

Beyond the $10k, the winner will be featured on the front page of MySpace for one week, featured on the Impact Awards page for a month, and listed as a previous winner for the rest of the year.

We want to win. The front page of MySpace is the busiest single page on the entire internet. We can think of no better place for hope. We want to win because we want people to know that they're not alone. We want people to believe that rescue is possible, and we want people to believe that they are loved.


Read the rest here.

Switchfoot also posted a blog on their myspace about voting for TWLOHA:
Would you like to write a check from myspace's bank account? you can make it out to TWLOHA, for $10,000. Bigger than that you can continue to build a movement of love and healing, putting TWLOHA on the front page of myspace for a week.

go to www.myspace.com/towriteloveonherarms

On the TOP LEFT, IMPACT AWARDS... "CLICK HERE"

Scroll down, click little circle for To Write Love... SUBMIT

Today and tomorrow are the last days to ROCK THE VOTE. You can vote once a day.


Read the rest here.

So let's help make a difference. Remember, today and Friday are the last 2 days to vote, so make sure to get in your last 2 votes, and encourage others to do the same.

Love is the movement.

    The song "Circles" was playing as I read this, and I daresay it never sounded so good. Images from "the Lord of the Rings: the Return of the King" flashed across my eyes - this could be, no, is huge.

    Friends, let's make this happen.

    I voted on Thursday and on Friday. And i looked on the page today to see if the voting had closed but you can still vote. Does my vote count for today, or does it not count?

    Oh my gosh, I hope they win. TWLOHA is amazing. And no offense, but I really don't get that weird Stephen Lynch foundation or whatever- Meditation in schools? TWLOHA is amazing, they deserve to win.

    I went to go buy a TWLOHA shirt and for some reason I can't figure out how to buy it. Can anyone tell me what I should do?

    I can't believe you guys havent posted a link to the online Switchfoot concert yet.

    But now you can! Here's the link: http://www.attblueroom.com/music/mediaplayer.php?pid=90855

    Spread it around; it's an awesome show (of course)!

    They're probably sold out. I lost my TWLOHA shirt some time ago, and decided to buy a Deon from their site but the "Add to Cart" option wasn't there, etc.
