It was recently brought to my attention that I never informed my readers about the status of Asia Bibi and the video competition we entered.
This is ::cough:: largely due to the fact that ::cough:: nobody commented. ::cough::
ANYWAY.
We did not win and thus will not be going to DC. However, we did place 2nd, which included a happy youtube comment, more youtube views, and a shiny tshirt as a prize....which has yet to arrive in the mail. Here's the first place winner - who, despite our best efforts, definitely deserved to win.
All video competitions aside, I implore you to please sign the petition.
You can find it at CallForMercy.com.
Asia has been in prison for over 2 years and soon will be executed, merely for sharing her faith - if something is not done.
In November, a group from Voice of the Martyrs will be taking this petition to the Pakistan embassy in Washington DC to plead for Asia's release. Their goal is 1,000,000. Currently we're at 300,000.
Guys, that's 700,000 more signatures.
By mid-November.
I think we can do it. We all have blogs, emails, friends, facebook accounts, websites, contacts. Let's spread this petition around, encourage others to spread it around, and make a difference in this incredible woman's life.
Have you signed the petition?

Asia Bibi: A Call for Mercy.
I don't know about you, but I've thought a lot about how we have the freedom to share our faith in the USA.
I mean - we don't really think it's that big of a deal.
But can you imagine being put in prison for it? Or even being sentenced to death?
A Christian woman in Pakistan named Asia Bibi did just that - and is right now in jail, with a death sentence.
Through the organization the Voice of the Martyrs, my brother, myself, and some friends of ours recently made a video to spread awareness about her situation.
The Voice of the Martyrs has started a petition for her release, and their goal is to get 1 million signatures.
They're also hosting a video contest to raise awareness, and you need 200 views by this Monday in order to be eligible.
Please watch the video and share it with your friends. It's not often I ask people to repost or reblog something - but it will only take a few seconds.
Even more than that, please, please sign the petition. It may not seem like a lot, but every signature counts.
You can view the video HERE, and sign the petition HERE.
Every signature is a call for mercy.
