AAA Fund Announces Health Care Blogathon Finalists
Posted by rkoA little over a month ago, the Asian American Action Fund announced a contest for folks to blog about why we need health care reform. A panel of judges including me narrowed the entries down to four finalists. Now it’s up to you, the activists and readers, to vote for the first, second, and third place winners. You can do so by visiting this post at the AAA Fund blog and leaving a comment with your picks for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.
The first place winner will receive $150, 2 free tickets to the 2010 AAA-Fund Gala (a $200 value), and an exclusive invitation to become a featured AAA-Fund Blogger. Second place receives 2 free tickets to the 2010 AAA-Fund Gala (a $200 value), and an exclusive invitation to become a featured AAA-Fund Blogger, Third place will get a lunch with a AAA-Fund leader, and an exclusive invitation to become a featured AAA-Fund Blogger.
We’ve reposted the text of the AAA Fund finalist announcement below as well.
AAAF Blogathon Blogteam proudly announces the Blogathon finalists. We list the finalists in no particular order except alphabetically by surname to be fair.
Cameron Feng – “Health Care in America is Selfish”
Jenny Jiang – “Higher Cost of Inaction”
Rose Wei – “Concerns of a Young Adult”
Micah Weinberg – “A Healthcare Story”
Now it’s your turn. Your votes will decide who wins! This year we’ll be using Instant Runoff Voting (IRV), which ensures that someone will win with at least 51% of the vote. Here’s how it works:
1. Please leave a comment on this post with your Top 3 Blogathon picks in order of preference (1= first choice, 2=2nd choice, 3=3rd choice).
2. If you’d like, tell your fellow readers why readers should also vote for your Top 3 picks.
Here’s an example of how to vote (using ice cream flavors):
1. Mocha (I love the blend of coffee and chocolate)
2. Chocolate (If I can’t get mocha, chocolate will do)
3. Coffee (If mocha and chocolate run out, I could always use some straight caffeine)
Voting deadline is Friday, October 17, 2009 at 9pm ET.
Thanks to all participants and enjoy voting!

I have concerns about the Obama Healthcare Plan. Will it cause negative reprocussions to my loved ones life? How do the improvements outweigh the negative aspects?
