    Vote for the Animals (Assignment America - CBS News)

    I haven't seen this posted on the boards yet so here's a cut/paste of an email I received:

    Hello, Everyone,

    The CBS Evening News is asking viewers to vote on stories for next week’s “Assignment America”.

    One of this week’s three choices is:

    *** Animal Refugees: How Best Friends Animal Society brought 300 dogs and cats to the U.S. from Beirut.

    That’s the one all the newly arrived pooches and kitties here are voting for! And they hope you and your best friends will, too!

    You can place your vote at:

    http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/...n1276706.shtml

    Voting ends at Noon Eastern Time on Sunday, so please join in and do it right now!

    Thanks so much,

    Your friends at Best Friends.

    P.S. One other thing: Please forward this around to friends and family. Between us all, we can reach a big audience on the Evening News.

    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    I voted, too. Would love to see it. Hope it wins!

    9/3/13
    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.
    [/SIZE]



    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.

    It was a LANDSLIDE Win for the Animals!!


    Email from Best Friends:

    "Hello everyone,

    You did it! Best Friends came in number one in the poll for what story CBS News will cover for its Assignment America segment this week. It was a landslide -- 85 percent of all votes were cast for the story of the dogs and cats being rescued and brought to Best Friends from the Middle East.

    The news crew arrives this evening, and the segment is expected to air on Friday evening.

    We’ll keep you updated.

    Michael Mountain
    Best Friends"


    THANKS for your votes - stay tuned for the Program details.
