Help Feministing get to Netroots Nation

A moment for shameless self-promotion and a polite request!
I’m trying to get to Netroots Nation this year. NN is the conference formerly known as Yearly Kos, and it’s a huge gathering of online bloggers and activists from the progressive movement.

Netroots Nation amplifies progressive voices by providing an online and in-person campus for exchanging ideas and learning how to be more effective in using technology to influence the public debate.
The fifth annual gathering of the Netroots (formerly known as the YearlyKos Convention) will be held July 22-25 at the Rio Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, NV. Netroots Nation 2010 will include panels led by national and international experts; identity, issue and regional caucuses; prominent political, issue and policy-oriented speakers; a progressive film screening series; and the most concentrated gathering of progressive bloggers to date.

Netroots doesn’t have a great reputation for including the voices of women and people of color, among other marginalized communities.
I want to be there this year, representing Feministing and shaking things up. We’ve made it there in the past, but this would be my first year attending and money is tight! Luckily, there is a scholarship contest, and you lovely readers can help me get to Vegas with just a few clicks of your mouse.
All I need is your help, and a quick vote! The three folks with the most online votes automatically get a scholarship, as well as nine others who are chosen each round. The scholarship helps with registration and lodging costs.
So throw a vote my way, pretty please.
