Let's help deny Michael Vick the Ed Block Courage Award

I received this email hours after publishing the preceding post which is a reprint of a column which appeared in the Philadelphia Inquirer protesting the bequething of the Ed Block Courage Award to Michael Vick by his Philadelphia Eagle teammates. Maria has given us the opportunity to perhaps reverse this injustice. Be sure to read the previous post to get your adrenalin flowing, and then visit the Web site referred to in Maria's email below and send your protest letter to Sam Lamantia, CEO of the Ed Block Courage Award. Many thanks to Maria for her efforts in helping to right this wrong.

Hey Bob,

My name is Maria and I am the Outreach & Communications Coordinator at Change.org. One of our community members recently started a great petition targeting Sam Lamantia, the CEO of the Ed Block Courage Award Foundation, asking him to deny Michael Vick the Ed Block Courage Award. In just a few days, the petition has already garnered nearly 1,000 signatures:

I saw your recent post (see previous post below) on this topic, and I thought you might be interested in helping us spread the word by posting the petition along with your blog entry.

Thank you for your help and please let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks,
Maria
