Today is Blog for Choice Day 2009 , an event organized by NARAL Pro-Choice America. So personally, my top pro-choice hope is that NARAL Pro-Choice America is able to use Convio's suite of tools to effectively empower their constituents to make their voices heard to decision makers on issues of choice in 2009.

I also did a little, non-scientific analysis of some of the cities that had jumps of 20-30 places in their 2008 to 2009 ranking. The 2009 rankings are based on the more than $420 million processed in the first half of 2009.
