Vote for Liberty!!!!

(The following is taken from a LU email sent out today to Alumni, Friends and Students of Liberty University)

GIVE A VOTE FOR LIBERTY DEBATE

My topic today is a bit unusual.

In fact, I’d like to ask you to do me a favor.

The Liberty University Debate Team — which has become a dynasty in the world of college debate by winning 15 national championships — has been nominated to be spotlighted during the “CBS Evening News with Bob Schieffer” Friday feature known as “Assignment America.” Each Friday, CBS previews three stories, with the Liberty Debate Team scheduled to be one of those three “story pitches” on tonight’s broadcast.

After the Friday broadcast, viewers are invited to visit the CBS News website ( http://www.cbsnews.com ) to vote on which of the three story pitches they want to see covered by CBS News correspondent Steve Hartman, who travels across the country to cover the chosen stories.

Whichever story gets the most votes by 2:00 p.m. ET on Monday is the winner.

So, here’s the favor I’d like to request.

I would love for Liberty’s Debate Team to get this national exposure. It would be a great promotion for Liberty and a wonderful way for viewers to see these Christian college students who are at the pinnacle of the highly competitive college debate world.

So, I am asking you to take a moment to visit the CBS News website ( http://www.cbsnews.com ) after tonight’s (Friday’s) CBS News broadcast and cast a vote for Liberty Debate.

Liberty Debate Coach Brett O’Donnell tells me that if the debate team is selected, CBS News will travel to the team’s tournament in Michigan this weekend to produce the story.

So if you would, take a few seconds and pretend you're voting for Chris to win American Idol... instead, vote for LU to get some big-time national exposure. Thanks!
