Yes, it’s Election Day, and while I hope all you Americans are casting your votes today for the National and Local Elections, I also hope that you (and all the Internationals) will take a minute to think through the entries in the Virtual Vegan Potluck and vote for your favorite recipe in each category. Email your votes to anunrefinedvegan@gmail.com. The contest ends at Midnight November 12th. Winners will receive a fabulous VVP plant-based-cruelty-free-tee-shirt. (Nice hyphenation, eh?)
After you rock the vote I hope you will all head on over to the shiny new Virtual Vegan Potluck Blog and subscribe. We’ve arranged some fantastic giveaways coming up (including $50 gift certificates to some of your favorite vegan companies and more) for deets on the new blog and the contest, read here.
Get your vote on!
p.s. I’m coming out of the closet. I kinda like both of the Presidential candidates. Throw stones now.

Excited to see results for both elections 🙂 and can’t wait to see the new tshirts!
Me too! So exciting!!!
Love it, girl!! The VVP race is a tight one, folks, so please vote! Each one really does count.
I think this is my most daring post yet, I almost couldn’t push the publish button! Waiting for backlash! 😉
Yes! Vote!!!
I think you’ll be okay :-). If you’d said who you are voting for, that might be different. That’s when folks get real, real sensitive. I’m keeping my vote to myself!!
I think your point is well taken; it’s too bad we cannot take the best of both and trash the rest! I like Romney on economy and Obama on civil rights, Biden on humor, Hillary on foreign relations, Ryan on healthcare, and Somer on health and nutrition!
Excellent point! I’ll take that vote for Somer for Nutrition and run with it! 🙂 🙂 🙂
How refreshing to hear someone say she likes them both. Your optimism contributes to a better country already 🙂
Thank you, it’s a good thing too, because this is a super close race!!! It’s nuts!
I cant vote, but Mittens just rubbs me the wrong way..:) The message though is super important.. each vote counts! Thank you everyone for voting!
Yes, every vote counts and in an election this close, every vote REALLY matters! Are you on a green card? My hubs can’t vote either…. (green card)
Is it bad that I haven’t even made it all the way through the VVP yet? On the bright side, I did vote in *that other* election that’s going on right now… 😉
Good for you Barb! There’s plenty of time to go through the potluck, get through it when and if you can.
p.s. I voted for your butternut phyllo sausage thingy 😉
I can’t IMAGINE not voting….. what a waste to not contribute to our country. VERY disappointed that it looks like GMO labeling is going to lose here in CA. But I’m VERY excited to hear about VVP voting… can’t wait to see those results!
Where is your husband from?
Oh man, I thought for sure the GMO labeling would go through. What a shame, you can only blame the American people for being uneducated on the issue. Blast.
My husband’s Australian, met and married him while I was going to University over there. We’ve been in the country for 15 years, I think it’s high time he gets dual citizenship 😉
Somer I hope you voted for me 🙂 because I voted for……. ???
Just because you asked I’ll tell the truth…. I did! But the other votes are secret! 🙂
You are the first I have heard to say liked both! Most people I have head say neither!
Haha! I can see that too 🙂
I have 2 friends who live in China 6 months out of the year teaching yoga, and they said there is a Communist Party Congress going on right now to choose the next president. Secret meetings in Beijing, even though everyone knows who it’s going to be… roads leading into Beijing are closed, taxis and buses aren’t allowed to roll down their windows, the internet has been confined so it’s all very slow, and they have removed large kitchen knives from the stores in all of Beijing until after the next president is announced. So I think that regardless of our personal feelings about what happened, we should be very thankful we are where we are and have the opportunity to be a part of the process…. 🙂
Kelli, that is nuts. Aren’t we lucky!?! I have to say I’m not disappointed with the results, but since I really (truly) liked both candidates for different reasons, I would have been okay either way 😉
I voted! In both the presidential and VVP elections! 🙂 It was fun going through all of the dishes and marking down my favorites. Hard to pare it down! There were so many delicious options. I can’t wait to see the results next week!
It’s going to be awesome!!! Glad you did your civic duty on both ends 😉
My girls liked this. Silliness. I wish the weeks leading up to the election were more like that. LOL
