TechMama Beth designed this lovely blog button to help several of us drum up some more votes in hopes of getting our proposed panels chosen for the 2009 SXSW conference!

My panel, which also will be hosted by my fellow MOMocrat Glennia Campbell and my Women’s Media Center friend and former president of Planned Parenthood Gloria Feldt, is called Creating Political Clout Online.

Other “blog-fluential” women will also be there, so vote for them, too!

Please do vote for these panels, since the voting process is part open source so community support is very important. The SXSW Interactive Panel website explained the voting timeframe: Voting closes on August 29. SXSW Interactive hopes to reveal the first batch of programming and confirmed speakers in October.
