Do you think we could convince Ryan Gosling to vote for TheBallot.org?

We just got word that someone nominated TheBallot.org for Most Valuable Technology for New Organizing Institute's RootsCamp. In order to actually win, we have to get votes.

So, if you dug TheBallot.org, show some love here.

Separately, if you want to join the meme-a-palooza to get people to vote for Most Valuable Technology, make your own here by voting, submitting a comment, and creating your own badge. (hint: type Hey Girl in your comment to make a Ryan Gos-meme) 

We'll be posting Thanksgiving-related memes about it throughout the week as you slowly slip into your tryptophan-induced coma, so stay tuned!
