 I don't ask for your help very often, but right now, I could really use your vote to help win the Shorty Awards for the category of health. These are awards given to publishers of the internet's best short-form content , and these awards are recognized throughout the mainstream media. This is your opportunity to help selfnews and the Health Ranger get some mainstream exposure for all the work we do to bring you important health stories, tips and information on a daily basis.

(You must insert a comment of WHY you vote for the Health Ranger in order for your vote to count.) Thank you in advance for your support! Why mainstream recognition matters Over the last several years, we've worked hard to bring you the kind of uncensored, hard-hitting stories that the mainstream media often refuses to cover. We've broken some amazing stories that simply weren't reported with the same candor anywhere else: The FDA kidnapping of herbal formulator Greg Caton ( http://www.selfnews.com/027750_Greg_Caton... ) Exposing the anti-natural bias of The Associated Press that declared war on alternative medicine ( http://www.selfnews.com/027471_Associated... ) and ( http://www.selfnews.com/027424_medicine_a... ) The real story behind the pharmaceutical deaths of celebrities such as Brittany Murphy ( http://www.selfnews.com/027817_acute_phar... ) How the TSA's airport scanners may damage human DNA ( http://www.selfnews.com/027913_full-body_... ) The shocking truth about mammograms and CT scans ( http://www.selfnews.com/027742_mammograph... ) and ( http://www.selfnews.com/027648_CT_scans_r... ) The hoax of Tamiflu as anti-viral medicine ( http://www.selfnews.com/027734_Tamiflu_Ro... ) The untold story about swine flu vaccines ( http://www.selfnews.com/026955_swine_flu_... ) The FTC's campaign of oppression against a ministry selling healing herbs ( http://www.selfnews.com/026970_the_FTC_fr... ) Groundbreaking new information about quackery and corruption in the AIDS industry ( http://www.selfnews.com/027890_AIDS_test_... ) Disturbing details about soy protein products being contaminated with explosive hexane chemicals ( http://www.selfnews.com/026303_hexane_soy... ) Exposing the truth about the 'Smart Choices' food label and the quackery of its claims ( http://www.selfnews.com/027380_food_label... ) A groundbreaking new report that reveals how nutrition can save America ( http://www.selfnews.com/027569_nutrition_... ) And with your help, we exposed the lies and deceptions of SIGA Technologies, which tried to claim it had nothing to do with vaccines ( http://www.selfnews.com/027483_SIGA_Techn... ) During all this, we've brought you exclusive interviews with Jane Goodall ( http://www.selfnews.com/027714_Jane_Gooda... ), Suzanne Somers ( http://www.selfnews.com/027526_Suzanne_So... ) and the creators of films like House of Numbers where we treated selfnews readers to exclusive film clips ( http://www.selfnews.com/027890_AIDS_test_... ). In other words, selfnews is performing a service that the mainstream media won't. We bring you uncensored information that otherwise simply wouldn't be available. That's why we need your help. With your vote for the Health Ranger in the health category of the Shorty Awards, we can finally achieve some mainstream recognition for the valuable information we're publishing! With a win here, the mainstream media outlets that cover the Shorty Awards will have no choice but to recognize selfnews as a popular source of information that's valued by readers around the world. By winning this award, we may be able to expand our audience even more, reaching out to more people with information that can save lives, improve health and awaken people to the truths they aren't being told by the mainstream media. So please, it's rare that I ask for anything from selfnews readers, but right now I need your help to vote for the Health Ranger for the Shorty Awards health category. To vote, go to this page: http://shortyawards.com/healthranger You'll need a Twitter account to vote. Please do not create multiple accounts just to vote . In no way do we wish to game the system. All votes should be legitimate, and each Twitter account can only vote once. (If you vote twice, it still only counts for one vote.) To vote from Twitter, simply send a tweet from your Twitter account as follows: #shortyawards @HealthRanger #health (because... write your short supporting comment here) You must insert a comment of WHY you vote for the Health Ranger in order for your vote to count. Votes without the 'why' comment won't be counted. I genuinely thank you for your support in this awards contest. Should we win the health category, it will be a huge victory not merely for selfnews, but for all the readers who support natural medicine and truth-telling about pharmaceuticals, junk foods, chemicals and the FDA. This is your chance to show the world that natural health news and information is important and deserves some recognition. With your help, we can win this! Your vote can make a difference! A huge difference, in fact. And in return for your support, I promise to continue bringing you valuable, uncensored information that can make a lasting difference in your life. This year I'll be bringing you even more reports on natural cures, the dangers of pharmaceuticals, energy medicine and much more. You'll see my information sent out daily on Twitter, Facebook and selfnews.com. Thank you for your continued support, and please vote for the Short Awards if you haven't already: http://shortyawards.com/healthranger
