all I need you to do is click.

Target is giving money to local schools and each click over 25 is worth a buck.

So give a click here and don't be a Shiny Happy Person!

EDIT: It does require Facebook, Twitter or Google+

Tried to help, can't. You should put an "If you use facebook" warning.

I voted... y'all best to be returning the favor when my kid is old enough- if there's one thing I will fight to the death for, it's education.

So what's the purpose here exactly? Target is trying to raise awareness of what they're doing to get maximum benefit out of their PR budget, I'm guessing. There's no reason to play "voting" games.

In reply to Keith Tanner:

Once a school achieves 25 votes, they donate one dollar for very vote to that school.

Maximize PR budget, absolutely. Giving it to a good cause, just makes it a Win-Win.

Oh, I understand the proposed mechanism. They're going to donate the money to schools regardless of the whole voting charade. It would be more efficient if they just gave the money directly to the school districts or the states instead of paying for a shiny website, tallying votes and dealing with tens of thousands of individual donations. If the goal was philanthropy, that's how you'd do it.

However, this way, they'll end up with parent's gratitude and a big fat mailing list. Three bucks per person, assuming all concerned parents vote the required once per week for three weeks.

It is a true kick back system. I don't mind it for the kids.

You don't shop at Target? LOL

if Target needs my vote to get them to donate money, then they aren't getting my vote.
