Atheists Need A Voice In American Politics, This Is How **YOU** Can Give Us One. 6 HOURS LEFT!! VOTE VOTE VOTE!!
Offline Hey guys it's me again. The original Community Counts site branched off to a brand new site. It is called "10questions.com". They are now picking the top ten highest voted questions on THAT site now, to be asked to EVERY presidental Candidate, not just the Republicans now.
Of course, our video just got added about an hour ago, so we only have 2 votes for ours. Please, go to http://www.10questions.com/?l=ccforum&ans=quest7display=&search=lunch4lyfe&all=1 or go to http://www.10questions.com and type in "lunch4lyfe" in the search box to find my video, "Is America Unoffically a Theocracy". Votes are appreciated! We have till November 14th to get this video in the Top Ten and keep it there, for EVERY presidential candidate to answer our question!!
Please, take this opportunity to express your concern for the lack of a seperation of church and state to our next President, the most powerful person on the planet.
UPDATE: My question I got in Newsweek in asking "How will you appeal to *non* religious voters?' was just added to the site. Just go to http://www.10questions.com/?l=ccforum&ans=quest&display=&hide=&search=lunch4lyfe&all=1 if you want to vote for them.
UPDATE: We are in 2nd and 3rd place! Voting is over on the 14th and then the candidates will begin to answer them, so far John Edwards and Ron Paul have signed up! So, let's have a nice finish in votes the last 4 days and watch as the candidates begin to sign up to answer the top ten questions. THANKS EVERYONE!!

Oh I forgot to mention, if you want this question to be more heavily promoted and have the link posted on the homepage of the RRS, please email them. If one person does it, nothing will happen. If 8 people or 18 people do it, they might actually post the link to the voting site page with my video on the front page of the RRS.

I voted
Be a part of the problem or a part of the FUNK.
Thank you! Please let everyone know about this. Try to convince the RRS to feature this. Just imagine if we got everyone on the site to vote for this question so it makes the top ten and is asked to the most powerful person on the planet. This is the Rational RESPONCE Squad, respond to this!! Thank you all!

Voted.
Just another question the candidates can dodge.
Ok, we are at 32 net votes. There are alot of people that are going to want to vote this down. I saw alot of the sponsors of the voting site are right wing sites. We need to try to overwhelm them with votes. Remember, we have till November 14th to make the top ten!

Voted. You're right about people wanting to vote it down though, the video is getting about 40% no votes and 60% yes votes at the time of my vote.
Correct, this site has alot of traffic so the votes for and against will be pretty close, because this is a very controversal video. That is why we need as much support as possible.

The politician is someone trained in the art of using double talk and popular public opinion to make them the most money possible. I'm sure an difficult question will go far in the quest to make them look like dumb asses. Then we realize that all of the candidates are dumb asses and we have to just flip a coin and case our "vote" for the least likely to destroy everything they are in charge of.
Thank you, yet I think this will also test how honest a politician can be.
Okay, well RichardDawkins.net has been awsome and the thread on their forum promoting this cause is stickied so everyone can see it. We had a jump in votes too! Great news. We are now stuck in 7th place. Let's try to keep it and/or climb up the ranks higher. It would be cool if RRS could feel the same way about this opportunity as RichardDawkins.net did.

Dammit, I was hoping this would not happen. The asshole who voted down our video at Commmunity Counts just emailed me saying he has successfuly located the video at 10questions.com. When I left about 4 hours ago, it was at 216 votes, now it is at 165 and falling. Help please!! In tenth place now!

It is no longer on the first page now
. I emailed the Rational Response team about a weak ago; I received an auto response, saying they have too much email to directly respond to mine. I don't see us getting this on the "atheist jihad" agenda in time to put this back on page 1. Too bad, really. I would have especially liked to see what republicans would answer.
It's back on the first page!!! Keep voting!
It fell back off the 1st page. Looks like it will teeter-totter unless we can get those votes in.
Can everyone try getting people with a large audience to know about this question? Captain Awsome, Gismo, etc. People like that.

Umm, something fishy is going on here. I went through several pages of the 'top 10' video contest, not finding your video. Then, I go to your link that specifically goes to search for "lunch4lyfe", and sure enough it's there but you'd think it'd be showing on the 2nd or so page at least - then I click the same link again, and it's saying it can't find it!!!!!!!
Is anybody else seeing this?
Whew... ok they're in the search link now. Somehow, they were there earlier, and then gone. I suppose, that happens when they're already voted on within the same session?
And, I'm still not seeing them anywhere in the list. In fact, I just went through all 90 some vids (several pages); am I having a "negative hallucination" (as explained in another thread)? Or is it not there? Or is the same thing happening: I voted on them (through the search), and then they stop showing? Or did you take them down?
I am just confused here.
I see what's going on now. It will show, by default (now? didn't seem like this before), show only those not voted on. Click the link that says, "show all", and problem solved. Sorry for my confusion confusing or scaring anyone else! In fact, just ignore these 3 posts... sheesh!
I voted and alerted 3 more of local RRS friends!
Ok update!!
Well, I am kind of pissed off that this ONE guy at RDF (the site designer) decided that the voting info for my video will not go on the homepage. It is annoying because ALL the staff voted "Yes" to put the link to the voting site of my video on the homepage for everyone to see. Yet Josh, the web designer said no. Asshole. The admins are pretty mad about it too. They all love the question and want to see it asked.
PLEASE! What is the best way to contact the RRS and get them to try to help us? We've had over 12 people email them, and got no responce. What is the best form of contact? This is a great opportunity for atheism and proving to the candidates that a god may not exist, but WE ATHEISTS DO!! And that THEY NEED TO LISTEN TO US.
Do whatever you can to get people to vote for this video!! Thank you!!

Okay we just need a little more than 100 votes to get in the top ten!! Come on people!! Vote!!
Hey Unsavedsinner, you're YouTuber Lunch4lyfe correct? Or if he's watching, check your YouTube email! I've got an early Christmas present for you. My YouTube account has the same name as that of my RRS account: ctressle.
By the way, I said it in the email and I'll say it again:
DO NOT POST MY STRATEGY IN PUBLIC (i.e. here). Just email it out to as many atheist friends as you can.
But read both emails; the second has an important lesson in it that I learned. It still works, though
Got it, thank you!
OK, the same Church group is back again and voting our video down, however not only are they voting ours down, they are voting everyone else's video up, trying to censor the atheist voice on this website. Please vote our video up!

How many others here are at least aware of this thread --- bump - ? Are the core members? Hello? Anybody?
Nevermind now; look at how high the votes are now!!!
You got my vote. Hope it gets picked. Be interesting to see how these asshole politicians answer it. I'm voting third party anyway, none of the current crop of slime are worth a crap.

I've voted both of your vids up. Looks like you're both the 2nd and 3rd place videos right now. I'm really interested in an answer to the non-religious voters one... we get flooded with the candidates vying for the spot of "Most Christian" to the point that I wonder if they even care that nearly 10% of the people they would represent don't care one bit how Christian they are, but how they plan to support ALL of the American people.

OK, voting is coming to a close, and we are in 2nd and 3rd place!! Voting officially ends on Wednesday so let's have a clean finish in votes! Also, so far John Edwards and Ron Paul have signed up to answer the top ten questions. More candidates will sign up as the week goes on. Thanks so much everyone!!!

Hey unsavedsinner, have you heard from your church 'friends' yet? If only I could have seen their faces that day the votes shot up...
Great,just 4 more hours.
Hey, Im a Atheist from the UK, Ive just had a look at the questions you put the the presidentual canditates, even though Im not a US citizan I hope these questions get asked and it upsets me that religious people feel the need to reject what are valid questions...and worse promote the other questions out of spite...hope it gets asked just 4 hours to go...Ill be watching.
Not Bound by a Book
Now its time to see how our corrupt politicians dodge both questions.
