Please take a minute to vote(just once)for First Coast No More Homeless Pets! They are making a HUGE difference on the First Coast(the NE of Florida)in the lives of animals via aggressive spay/neuter programs-and they need your help! Here's the email I received:

A simple click of your mouse can get us a chunk of $80,000. Here's how it works: Squidoo (a fundraising lense site) has been saving 5% of their total income since they got started. It's part of their mission to do so, and now they are asking for your help in giving some of it away. All you need to do is go to http://www.squidoo.com/squidoo-charity-giveaway and click on FIRST COAST NO MORE HOMELESS PETS. For each vote we get, they will donate $2 up to $80,000 or through October 15th. No joke, no gimmick. VOTE FOR FIRST COAST NO MORE HOMELESS PETS!!! 1. Feel free to invite as many people as you can to vote. 2. It's entirely possible that one non-profit could get the lion's share of the donations. It's all up to you. 3. Yes, it's ok to blog about this. In fact, tell everyone. Think website announcement, email list, etc. The more word you get out, the more potential donations we will receive. 4. Of course, you can also sign up with Squidoo and make a few lenses. After all, 5% of what they earn will continue to go towards First Coast No More Homeless Pets, and we will receive a passive stream of donations month in and month out. (And just for the record, everyone gets one vote only. We'll delete votes from duplicate accounts, and block the accounts.) Don't delay! Remember, this only runs through the first 40,000 votes or October 15th. http://www.squidoo.com/squidoo-charity-giveaway

ST. PAUL (CNN) - Bristol Palin, the 17 year old daughter of Sarah Palin, is pregnant and will keep the baby and marry the father, a senior McCain aide confirmed to CNN Monday.

McCain was aware of Bristol Palin’s pregnancy before he chose her mother for his running mate, the aide said.

“Senator McCain knew this and felt in no way did it disqualify her from being vice president,” said the aide. “Families have difficulties sometimes and lucky for her she has a supportive family.”

Bristol Palin, a senior in high school, is about 5 months along, in her second trimester, according to the aide.

The aide said they decided to reveal this information now because of rampant Internet rumors that Sarah Palin’s four month old baby, who has Down’s Syndrome, was actually Bristol’s.

“In the course of correcting that, we needed to get the truth out,” said the McCain aide.

In a statement from Sarah and Todd Palin, they said they were &ldquoroud of Bristol’s decision to have her baby and even prouder to become grandparents.”

They also asked the media to respect their daughter’s privacy.

The McCain aide insisted a key point to keep in mind is that Bristol decided to keep the baby, a decision “supported by her parents.”
