Clean Energy vs Throwing Sheep


You’ve been poked, bitten, pet, and maybe even hit by an errant thrown sheep.

It’s not unlikely you’ve been hugged, handed beers, or recruited by werewolves, pirates, and Corey Haim. We also suspect a few of you ambidextrous MyBookers and FaceSpacists may have been given gifts and played some poker.

We’re not exactly sure how, but Facebook applications have become a ubiquitous part of most of our lives.  Sometimes fun.  Sometimes annoying. But if two guys from India can give Scrabble a 21st century hipster edge and simultaneously reunite me with my grandmother and my 7th grade girlfriend, we think the oft-bizarre Facebook application might also be a tool to help us create a clean energy future.

So we’re getting a little Scrabulicious with Power Vote, and asking folks to do their online part in saving the world: install the new Power Vote “I took the Pledge” application. If you don’t, we will surely concede the future to vampires and ninjas.  And they don’t much care about green jobs.

It’s easy.  With these three steps you will instantly become more popular than sheep throwers.

1. Sign into Facebook (You do this 37 times a day. No explanation required)

2. Install the application and display the badge on your profile:

3. Everyday invite the maximum number of friends to join the fun:

There are about 3 weeks left before the election. Can the Power Vote “I took the Pledge” application tag more Facebooks than thrown sheep?

Current Power Vote vs. Superpoke Sheep Thrower-ists scoreboard:

Us - 1,250
Them - 5,535,352

A little/ever-so-slightly/bit of a long shot, but help us give it one anyway!
