Proxy voting and June

[Iowadawn]

Maybe I have been out to lunch and I missed something & this all was discussed in an earlier post. The FAQ on the Pepsi site talks about Proxy Voting and how its use was unclear and starting June 1 they are clamping down on this. The "includes, but is not limited to..." clause pretty much covers all bases. This would seriously change strategy? Enlighten

 

Kudos to Kelly & Vickie & whomever else really were in the trenches w/ this project!!

So what does this mean? Further down in the FAQ it says its okay to cast multiple votes from the same IP address. Is this going to be a problem?

Maybe they are referring to situations like ours. We have one computer that both my husband and I use...different people, different emails...

Is there a way to appeal to Pepsi agin to clear out the comments on our page? That's part of the reason we need to proxy - the site is so !@#$%^&*()_ slow! It even jams some of my friends' computers. No one with anything else to do in their lives can wait for it to come up. I had several people willing to vote every day initially, but gave up or asked me to take over.

 

I know there are other ways to vote - but this page explains what PANDAS and our cause is all about - so people should see it at least once.

 

Pepsi needs to step up to the plate here.

As for proxy voting, I need to talk to pepsi. We are not voting with dummy accounts. I need to talk to them. If you haven't voted proxies yet, please hold off doing so. Check back here in a bit. Not sure what time Pepsi opens

To be honest, it makes sense to me that they wouldn't allow it just not sure how they know what's just more than one person on one computer versus proxy voting.

Pepsi does not open until 8am central.

This is pepsi's defintion of proxy voting...

 

"Is proxy voting allowed?

Proxy voting is not allowed. We understand this may not have been clear within the original Application Guidelines, though always against the spirit and integrity of the program. As of June 1st, any idea that uses proxy voting which includes but is not limited to creating multiple and/or dummy emails may be disqualified."

 

 

 

Every single vote of our leads back to one single person. If this is not the case with your voetr registration list, weed through it, perfect it and get back to me asap. I will call pepsi at 8am central time. However, in my opinion, what we do is not proxy voting as defined by pepsi.

This is what I sent out to our main suporters....

 

 

 

If you haven't seen this already. The new rule clarified by Pepsi...

PANDAS does not have false accounts or dummy accounts. Every vote cast leads back to one single person. If we say 100 votes that means 100 peole have voted.I am calling pepsi at 8 am central, but expect them to be swamped with calls.

 

Please look into your own voting. If the number we agreed on changes do to this rule clarification. I NEED to know asap. Pease, always rememebr we are doing this for children and do not want to be disqualified.

 

Thank you.
