Fr. Z asks a favor on behalf of a fellow blogger
Everyone… please consider giving American Papist a lift today.
He is trying to win a college scholarship for bloggers, to pay his loans.
I think WDTPRSers could give him a boost.
This will cost you nothing but a few seconds of your time.
Go HERE and vote for Thomas Peters, who runs the American Papist site.
He is a good kid trying to do good work.
We Catholic bloggers have to stick together and not just play in our own little sandboxes.
Working together, linking and helping each other, makes us a more effective force in shaping the conversation.
Done. Looks like he’s running in second place, back about 200 hundred votes. So that’s less than a day’s worth of WDTPRS readers? [Actually, less than a half hour’s worth, even on a Sunday.]

Comment by Kazimerr — 9 November 2008 @ 11:40 amHey all,
I voted last night.
Please note that there is a guy with about 2700 votes, and he’s in the lead. Thomas is in the area of 3rd, although he’s been coming up!
So, double-check the vote listings (they’re not ranked by place), and be sure to tell your friends!
Comment by Andy K. — 9 November 2008 @ 11:42 amFatto! Now he’s only a couple of votes behind.
Comment by Reginald Pole — 9 November 2008 @ 11:47 amHope I was in time…Seems he has one close behind….Best of luck, and keep up the “good things”
Comment by Mitch#2 — 9 November 2008 @ 11:48 amI thank you all. Also, I want to clarify something.
By asking you to do this, I am not saying anything thereby against the other blogs.
It is just that American Papist and WDTPRS have had some cordial collaboration, especially in regard to correcting the record about what the Church teaches in regard to the defense of human life.
Comment by Fr. John Zuhlsdorf — 9 November 2008 @ 11:56 amDone. Thanks for letting us know, Fr. Z.
Comment by Margaret — 9 November 2008 @ 11:58 amVoted. But he’s still nearly 2000 votes back in second place, behind what would seem to be a baseball blog.
Comment by James Garrison — 9 November 2008 @ 12:05 pmDone! T
Comment by Kevin Francis Bernadette Clay — 9 November 2008 @ 12:24 pmThat’s really a nice blog, thank you for the suggestion to visit it
Comment by Alessandro — 9 November 2008 @ 1:05 pmDone. Kind suggestion Father.

AmP is still in second place, now down by about 1900.
Comment by Brian Day — 9 November 2008 @ 1:38 pmDone. Also left a comment in an attempt to sway folks away from the currently leading baseball blog.
Comment by Andy Lucy — 9 November 2008 @ 1:51 pmDone.
Comment by Mike — 9 November 2008 @ 2:00 pmDone—but his lead is shrinking. Vote!
Comment by Chris — 9 November 2008 @ 2:24 pmDone, but he’s still in second place…
Comment by Mac McLernon — 9 November 2008 @ 3:00 pmDone. A pleasure to help a defender of the Church’s Teaching on human life.
Comment by miss book — 9 November 2008 @ 4:06 pmDone deal. Still looks to be in 3rd.
Comment by Al — 9 November 2008 @ 5:42 pmVoted. Wow, he is way ahead of the rest.
Comment by semperficatholic — 9 November 2008 @ 6:54 pmI voted…better late than never! Say do they have anything like this for struggling nursing students?
Comment by Peg — 9 November 2008 @ 8:57 pmI voted for American Papist – THomas Peters. He’s the man! Tom
Comment by TJM — 9 November 2008 @ 9:14 pmDone, Fr. Z.! I hope Thomas wins.
Comment by Maria — 9 November 2008 @ 11:24 pmI feel a bit stupid. Can somebody help me with this?
I went to the site, but I could not find something you click to vote for Thomas.
Is there still time to do this, or has voting ceased?
Comment by Andrew — 9 November 2008 @ 11:56 pmMy humble thanks to Fr.Z and all of you! God Bless you. ~AmP.
Comment by AmericanPapist — 10 November 2008 @ 12:14 amI understand. Once you have voted, the circles and the capacity to click them disappears, ie I voted. (I rang up a friend and asked him to download the site, and he told me what happened).
Obviously, if they will be awarding a college scholarship to somebody, they don’t want any cheating.
Comment by Andrew — 10 November 2008 @ 1:05 amDone.
Comment by Robert of Rome — 10 November 2008 @ 1:37 amProud to have given my vote to Tom (and to McCain/Palin)!
Thank you Fr. Z for all of your work and insight.
Comment by AWashingtonDCCatholic — 10 November 2008 @ 8:02 amGood luck , I almost always find myself in agreement with Fr Z.
Comment by In partibus infidelium — 10 November 2008 @ 8:45 amThanks for the help, folks.
Comment by Fr. John Zuhlsdorf — 10 November 2008 @ 9:24 amDone. He is one of my book marked blogs.
