The timing is bad. But the fact is, a few weeks ago I entered an "Obama in 30 Seconds" ad contest, using the slide show feature in Photoshop Elements 5 and the microphone in my laptop. I showed some of my art quilts with peace signs in them and talked about why I made them.

My ad got accepted into the first round of voting! And the voting takes place online this week only, ending on Sunday.

There are two ways to become a finalist. One is to get rated by people visiting the voting website, who will be shown a random selection of ads, not necessarily including mine. The other way is to have people click on my link, which takes people directly to my particular ad. Each hit is a vote. Only one vote per e-mail address.

So here is my link. Peace is Beautiful. http://obamain30seconds.org/vote/?v=view-615-hZkstz
I would appreciate it if you would click on it and watch my ad. I am not asking you to vote for Obama, but I would be grateful if you'd vote for me. ;-) Also, be sure to forward the link to friends and family who you think might want to see it. There are art quilts in the ad. One of them is the "Foot Square" quilt I donated to SAQA's reverse auction in 2007.

The sound is a bit weak, so I suggest you turn your computer sound up and watch it in a quiet room.

Thank you.

I went to the Obamain30 site and did not see your ad in the 15 finalists. Will you publish your ad on your blog or YouTube?
