So many things I'd like to change in this world, and sometimes, I feel so powerless. I do what I can as often as I can, and I know which issues are most important to me. I know what I like, and I know what I want to change. But how?
It's so simple, and ALL of us have the power. One word. VOTE!
If you're not registered to vote, it's quick and easy to do online. Check out the voter registration deadline for your state, and then take a few moments to register to make YOUR voice heard!

We've all heard that more people than ever plan to vote this year, plan to make their voice heard. Go ahead and make sure you are one of them!

The Member's Project
I've been an American Express cardmember for close to 10 years, and I truly never leave home without it. Regardless of your preference for card companies, American Express' Members Project is worth checking out.
For the 2nd year in a row, American Express is conducting a "Members Project." This initiative allows cardmembers to submit ideas for ways to bring positive change to the world, and the winning ideas will receive a total of $2.5 million to bring the ideas to fruition. The winning project will receive $1.5 million, second place will receive $500,000, third place will receive $300,000 and two runner-up projects will receive $100,00 each.
Last year's winning project was “Children's Safe Drinking Water.” American Express provided UNICEF $2 million to make it happen. UNICEF has used that money to promote household water treatment and safe storage options in countries including Angola, Guinea, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Tanzania.
Only cardmembers can submit ideas and vote, but even if you're not a cardmember, all you need is an email address to post messages on the Members Project Discussion Board, nominate your favorite projects, or reach out to friends and family who are Cardmembers and encourage them to submit projects and vote.
Do you have a great idea, something that could make the world a better place? If you're a cardmember, get ready to submit your idea! If you're not, find someone who is, or apply to become a cardmember yourself.
Here's the timeline:
July 22 -Aug 19: Members can submit their ideas at www.MembersProject.com
Aug 20 - Sept 8: Start discussing the submissions and begin campaigning for your favorites!
Sept 9: Top 25 projects are announced and voting begins
Sept 30: Top 5 projects are announced and final voting begins
Oct 14: Winners are announced and American Express provides $2.5 million!
For more details on Member's Project, visit www.MembersProject.com.
To learn more about the benefits of membership or to apply for a card, visit www.AmericanExpress.com.
They'll provide the cash, we'll provide the ideas and the buzz. And in the process, we'll all help to make the world a better place.
