Vote to keep a Freeper from winning a new car.
There is an online contest giving away a new car and other prizes valued at around $25,000 to the winner. The contest by Ford is giving a new car to who makes the best video. Freeps manipulated the vote to get the son of a freeper into the final round. If they hadn't, he would have been beaten in the second round by Maylani Higa (IMO). You can view the videos on the site. The 3 videos that made the finals weren't the best of the entries, but most likely advanced from vote manipulation. The contest allows you to vote as many times as you want. The Freepers son is Matthew Sconce/video #2. Im giving my votes to Jan Janssen/video #3. Vote often using the 'back button', because the Freeps surely will.

Here is where to VOTE:

3. why don`t you send the info
to ford with the freeperlink. and maybe delete yours. i`m sure ford if appraised in what you are saying would do something about this. there could be legal issues involved.

7. Who cares
If the freeper gets the car, remember this, God gave us liberals two great weapons in this battle: alcohol, and a tree.

16. There's another 20 for Jan
It will suck if Jan turns out to be a freeper, and we don't know about it.
