Dear NCABS members and leaders, 
  
     One of the things that I love about the National Federation of the Blind is that our members support each other.  I am supporting Michael Hingson's dog Roselle in this hero dog contest, and voting really is quick and easy.  Roselle is the guide dog who saved her owner's life in the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.

I encourage you all to vote daily until October.  I will.  

If you want more information, you may find a forwarded message below this one.  Here's the link:

Take care,

Justin

>
>Hello,
>
>Earlier this month I emailed many of you announcing that my new book,
>"Thunder Dog, A Blind Man, His Guide Dog, and the Triumph of Trust at Ground
>Zero " was released on August 2.  .  Please continue to tell the world about
>its release and please encourage your friends, family, and colleagues to
>order Thunder Dog.  I would appreciate your help very much.
>
>Now, I am excited to tell you that in its first week of release it has
>climbed to the rank of #29 on the combined New York Times Best Sellers list
>for print and eBooks.  This is incredible according to my publisher and book
>agent.  I wanted to share the exciting news.  I hope that you have purchased
>your own copy and have enjoyed Thunder Dog.  If you want to buy one please
>visit www.michaelhingson.com and click on "Order Thunder Dog".  All copies
>come autographed and pawtographed by me and Roselle.
>
>Thunder Dog continues to zoom up the Amazon and Barnes and Noble charts.  If
>you want to read the story of Roselle and me as well as learn some life
>lessons around
>9-11 you can now purchase the cd audio book or a print book at bookstores.
>Better yet, as mentioned above, you can visit www.michaelhingson.com and
>purchase copies.  The pawtograph from Roselle is especially meaningful to
>me, and I hope to you, because it was obtained just six days before Roselle
>passed on June 26, 2011.
>
>The books reviews continue to be pretty tremendous.  I hope that "Thunder
>Dog" will help inspire people as raise their awareness about blindness.  The
>book is available in audio cd, and print editions, both available at
>www.michaelhingson.com.  The audio edition has some extras including a
>speech I gave last year at the National Federation of the Blind convention
>in Dallas before 3,000 blind people.
>
>I also wish your help on another front.  In June, Roselle was nominated as a
>candidate to receive the American Dog Hero award from the American Humane
>Association.  Her nomination has progressed and she is now one of the eight
>finalists.  The link I sent you earlier this month apparently had a problem.
>I have corrected the difficulty.  Again I am asking you to take the time and
>vote for her at www.herodogawards.org/view-entries.html#view/359/220458.
>You can vote daily through September 30, 2011.  I would appreciate you
>spreading the word about this and helping Roselle win.  A victory for
>Roselle includes a substantial donation to Guide Dogs for the Blind, her
>Alma Mater.
>
>Thanks for all your encouragement and support over the years.  As always, if
>you know of anyone or any organization needing a speaker I am always looking
>for opportunities and would appreciate you passing on my name and contact
>information.  I hope all is well with you.
