Dear Friends and Captive Audience, The way this thing is going to work is that they're going to form a pool of 10 finalists. 5 of those will be those who get them most votes. I doubt I'll be one of those. But the other 5 will be people whose show concept or presentation intrigue the judges, or maybe Oprah herself. I figure that the more votes I get, the more likely my video will be regarded as a serious contender. After all, if 1,000 people voted for it, it must have a somewhat wide appeal, right? So please vote daily! In addition to voting yourself, please post this link to your Facebook page, send out a Tweet, send it to email lists and friends whom you think might be interested, etc. I'm pretty sure that votes cast in rapid fire succession aren't tallied. So if you want to vote repeatedly in a day, it might be best to wait a few hours between attempts. <http://myown.oprah.com/audition/index.html?request=video_details&response_i d=6818&promo_id=1> http://myown.oprah.com/audition/index.html?request=video_details&response_id =6818&promo_id=1 Here's a short version of the above link, in case that one is broken in your email: http://tinyurl.com/35hfeyt Thanks, Rick
