Spam Your Friends for Nathan Deal

November 18, 2009

Nathan Deal is running a Facebook Fan Challenge.  If you invite 150 of your friends to join his Facebook group, you get a hat.  The first 10 to invite 500 people get a fleece hoodie.  The person who invites the most people gets an iPod Nano. I think it’s great that they’re running competitions within [...]

Health Care vs. Freedom

November 13, 2009
