One Post -Election Day Vote to Cast

Election day was yesterday, but there is still one race which is hot, and voting doesn't end until tomorrow. VoteVets.org member Alex Horton has been nominated for Best Military Blog by the 2007 Weblog Awards.

These awards are determined by user voting. Right now, it's a two-person race, between VoteVets.org member Alex Horton's "Army of Dude" and Bush-supporter, Michael Yon.

While I respect Michael Yon's service, Alex's blog, "Army of Dude," represents some of the very best writing on the internet by an Iraq veteran. Started when he was deployed, Alex still keeps the blog updated, with his raw, blunt, and realistic view of what's happening in Iraq. If you haven't checked it out yet, it is an absolute must-read.

When interviewed by the Dallas Morning News, Alex said, "Officers and NCOs alike told me they read it and liked it. Even the angry parts. The guys in my platoon told me that I wrote what they'd been thinking" - a sentiment that was confirmed by members of his platoon. That's what makes Alex's blog so important - it is the Voice of America's 21st Century Patriots, which VoteVets.org has been fighting so hard to represent.

Please do your part. Click here to vote for "Army of Dude" as the best military blog. Voting ends tomorrow, so vote now, and tell your friends and family to do the same, and post the link on your own blog if you have one.

Should Alex win Best Military Blog, it will be just more evidence that America doesn't want to hear spin - they want the raw truth about Iraq from those who served. So, while this might seem like just a small award, it represents a lot. This is a race where your vote makes a huge difference, so please vote now.
