My name is Lindsay Patross, I write the blog IheartPGH and I am working on a new project, votePGH (http://www.votepgh.org), to make sure that Pittsburghers know that Tuesday, May 21 is election day. 

I'm writing to ask if you will help me to spread the word about votePGH.org. votePGH is a website that I have set up to engage more of Pittsburgh in the upcoming election on Tuesday, May 21.

I've set a goal of getting 1000 Pittsburghers to sign the pledge and I want to make sure we have at least 1 pledge from every city neighborhood.  We've had a few folks from Highland Park pledge but we need alot more to reach the 1000 pledge goal.

Please visit http://votepgh.org/ and pledge to vote on Tuesday May 21, 2013.

The NonProfit Vote organization has done some research that shows that people who are contacted about voting before election day are more likely to vote and to encourage friends and colleagues to vote on election day.  You can read more about their research here - http://votepgh.org/why-a-votepgh-pledge/

Anything you can do to help spread the word about votePGH would be much appreciated. 

Lindsay
