Megs_Mom Posted May 11, 2010 Report Posted May 11, 2010 So, is razzball on the Pepsi page or just supporting? Synergy is getting serious. they have conatcted us on the facebook page and put us in their newsletter. I am going to vote for them every day.I then have my usual "go to" submissions and I scan to see how many PANDAS have posted. I want to spread the wealth of votes. But I think Synergy will be counting comments. That's what I think. I want to win this thing so bad! No Razzball is not on the Pepsi page - they want you to support Synergy. They are just a group of guys that are supporting Synergy, but they use the name Razzball, so that everyone will know that a small group of people can make a big difference! I agree - Synergy is very focused & we should follow their lead!
T_Mom Posted May 11, 2010 Report Posted May 11, 2010 (edited) OK...so STRATEGICALLY... It DOES help to vote as a block for identified groups-- BUT we need to pick carefully -- they should be "large" groups with a firm bedrock base of voters. For example -- WMS is perfect, lots of middle school KIDS on line voting their hearts out and teacher is "talking" to PANDAS on the postings--this is GOOD !!! and ups our votes. A group that is CLOSE to the top (ie, in the top 5 for the 250 K AND has a committed group of voters, voting every day, is the type of group we should be voting for-- I think we need to leave the stragglers behind now. DOES ANYONE HAVE TIME TO REVIEW THIS AND SUGGEST A STRATEGIC LIST? My "for sure to vote" list thus far: WMS, SMA, ride 192 (ALL are close enough to need us and have a good base of voters to act as a block-vote for us.) Edited May 11, 2010 by T.Mom
P_Mom Posted May 11, 2010 Report Posted May 11, 2010 Gotta run for the day, unfortunately, but, I'll check it out later. There is a list of good supporters in the beginning of this thread! Thanks all! Vote!!!!

The former list is OK, but I think we need to be a bit more strategic now...as those for example behind 100 th place in the 250 K (where only 2 win) are no longer viable for this competition--and will have far fewer supporters for US! A block vote is still the best way to show and get support--identifying ourselves as PANDAS (50 K) every time we vote, if we are voting together it is a much stronger statement!

thereishope Posted May 11, 2010 Report Posted May 11, 2010 I really don't want to sound like a broken record, but please do not vote for other submissions in the $50K catagory. We jumped from the 80's to the 40's in a matter of days. Anyone else can do the same then pass us. There's enough to choose from in the other catagories.
JAG10 Posted May 11, 2010 Author Report Posted May 11, 2010 T-Mom, great points! This is a brief status update I could gather... PANDAS- ALWAYS VOTE US FIRST!!!!! WMS (25K)-#17 (stay with them) SKY U (250K)-#12 (stay with them) Sophie's cure (250K)- #9 (stay with them) Stop SMA (25K)-#10 (stay with them) SMILE Autism (250K)- #13 Ride 192 (5K)- they are 26th??? Ride MS (fairly secure at #6 spot, so don't need everybody) Synergy For consideration: Autism Prog of IL (25K)-#11 (I think we are already sending votes this way, but not organized) New Cottage Foster Home (250K)-#3 (so many may be courting these guys, high stakes!! could also agree no votes for #1 or 2 in their category) #4 is some haunted house thing??? oiye! Flagstaff Academy (5K)-#11 (seen them post high support for others, on the cusp) I see a lot of comments out their by Eaton band, but they are only 60 and they are in the 50K group, but it looks suspicious. I also wonder how many of these are going to pass the smell test. Some have comments like "you can vote as many times as you want, just use different email addresses and names..." ..real smart to post those kinda comments, hmmm, maybe they are really the competition! So- Vickie, Kelly, T; do you want to give more direction, reach out to anybody specifically???
thereishope Posted May 11, 2010 Report Posted May 11, 2010 I agree with your top ones and I thought Jett was a strong supporter too. I noticed Flagstaff gives a lot of votes to others too. . I started to send one their way today to see what happens. MRA sends votes, but I'm on the fence about them. Do you guys feel more compelled to vote for someone if they add a phrase like "Let's get you in the top 10!' or "You're in the top 10, let's make sure you stay"? Or are those comments irrelevant? Just trying to see if we could get more to come our way by pumping them up.
JAG10 Posted May 11, 2010 Author Report Posted May 11, 2010 I think the notes help most with the teenagers; WMS, SKY U, Synergy, we'll see how Flagstaff responds. Especially when there isn't the sisterhood of disease connection.

mama2alex Posted May 11, 2010 Report Posted May 11, 2010 I voted for Essential Transitions today - they are an autism-related cause and have been supporting the Louisa County High School Band, which is in 9th in 50K right now. I also saw that my friend's son had already voted for them. Here's what I posted: "PANDAS, Kids in Crisis (50 K) here with a vote for you. PANDAS often affects kids on the autism spectrum." Hoping to pull support away from Louisa County HS Band. Thoughts on this?
JAG10 Posted May 11, 2010 Author Report Posted May 11, 2010 We're in the top 10%! Everybody keep up the great work!! At what point during the month do you think folks in the bottom 50-75% start dropping off?
P_Mom Posted May 11, 2010 Report Posted May 11, 2010 Jag....thanks for all your support! I think they will start dropping now.......or, very soon! VOTE EVERYONE!!!!!!!!
JAG10 Posted May 11, 2010 Author Report Posted May 11, 2010 Try a "tag" comment like... BAM!!!! You've just been hit with another PANDAS vote!!! Tag, You're it!!!!
thereishope Posted May 11, 2010 Report Posted May 11, 2010 How about this group... Philanthro 25K They are giving TONS of voted to our competition. #23 in the 50K catagory.
