Okay, once again time to do something that is both FREE & EASY.
Megan Cannon has spelled it out for you on her sticky post but here is the excerpt from Megan from the three pages:
Quote:
OCF's grant proposal has been approved by Pepsi!!

Now its up to us to get the MOST votes to see that this happens! Starting today (Feb 1) through the end of the month (Feb 28th), everyone will get a chance to vote everyday for this grant. So that means you can vote on OCF's grant once everyday for the entire month. As of this morning we were ranked 76th, and we need to be in the top 2 to win the grant.

Here's the link:
VOTE OCF in PEPSI CONTEST

There's several ways to vote:
1. Sign in with your facebook email & password
2. Dont have facebook? You can sign in as a new user with your email

You can only vote once a day for OCF and the rules prohibit registering more than once or using multiple email addresses. There is no need for the voter though to be an OCF member: sign up your friends and family
REMEMBER VOTE EACH & EVERY DAY
Charm

I voted and will do so everyday. I've also sent out messages to all of my Facebook friends as well as posted a not so flattering pic on my profile to let people see the effects of OC. I hate the picture but it does give a great "shocking" image for people to get off their asses and vote.

I'll push everyday to get others to vote...let's do this thing!

OK, it's officially day 2 and we are 76th and getting our ass kicked by "Freecycle"? I mean I'm all about recycling but cmon people...I'm not going to get my ass kicked by a bunch of environmentalists.

Nobody has the heart we do, we've stared death in the face here people! I'm not about to see OCF walk away from this thing with anything less then a check for $250k. So let's get fired up and kick the shit out of this thing!

Let's crank up the awareness people and get our networks involved here.

I just voted again today. Attention OCF posters: please don't be discouraged by our being #76 overall. We are actually #10 in the Health care section of the $250K grant but unfortunately this grant only goes to the top two overall.
Also, in reading the rules again, I discovered that this Pepsi challenge is more complicated than it seems. It turns out that there is a contest each and every month. As long as OCF stays in the top 100, the OCF project will be automatically re-entered into the March drawing, although the vote count goes down to zero.
So while I hope we can win this February, some of our top competitors will be eliminated by virtue of winning.
So this is like a marathon: please please commit yourself to voting each and every day, not only this month but for the rest of the year. Just like brushing your teeth, click on the link and vote

Awesome Catherine! I just posted an update on my Facebook about the huge jump in the ranks and have gotten a big response from my friends. I also went through my friends list and targeted my friends with the largest "friends" count. I sent them all a personal message describing to them how much it means to me and urged them to help get out the message to their networks.

I just tried signing in as a new member and it looped for 5 minutes. Finally shut it down.

Anyone who is not on facebook have any success logging in?

Take care,
Eileen

Eileen

I am a Facebook resister and had no problem signing up yesterday using my email address only. The site is a little slow in registering you and I had better luck with clicking on the Vote for this Idea button which launched a pop up window for registration. One thing to be careful of is that for some reason, the original registration window's default is "yes, I have a Password" so you have to change that to "I'm New Here" to get prompted to continue registering. Try again?

Eileen,

I didn't sign in through Facebook and was able to sign in to Pepsi directly using my email address and a new password. I will say that I have had trouble with their site and it has crashed Internet Explorer several times. I could blame this on Vista, but I don't know...

I say, keep trying to log on to their site and signing in!
Good Luck!
