Unicycle.com on CBS Evening News tonight

Hi folks!

We're supposed to be on the Assignment America segment of CBS Evening News tonight (Friday) with Katie Couric. Correspondent Steve Hartman presents three story ideas each Friday night, then viewers vote for their favorite online. The winner will be visited by a camera crew on Monday morning to do a complete story.

I know that this isn't an election year, but all of us at Unicycle.com (and Banjo.com) will appreciate your vote. The votes are tallied late Saturday night, so please vote as soon as you can. Here's a link to their Web site:

Thank you!

What! What kind of a democracy is this when a person only gets one vote?

Hello John,
It's a pleaser to vote for UDC. UDC is the greatest. The online catalog is the best, with clear pictures, and the wide selection. The fast order turnaround can not be beat. I know all of that it is hard enough, and puts UDC at the top, but it's the follow-up to customer questions or concerns, that puts UDC way over the top. Any problems have been fixed quickly and reasonably, questions are always answered with the sound advice.

UDC is a part of the joy of riding a unicycle.

I'm trying to vote but I get this funky message:

"The following error occurred while voting in the poll assign40: Not a valid referer."

Any ideas? Could this be a conspiracy by those polka champions?
