You can pick up a button or badge (like the one above) on the Peace Primary site to promote the contest on your blog, web site or email. Brown-eyed Girl voted and posted an, "I Voted for Peace" badge on her blog. It is ok, and encouraged, to vote for more than one organization. Not that I'm complaining.

We recommend using an integrated payment processor and including information about it in your form (like the PCI badge pictured below) so donors can be sure that your donation process is secure.
