I’m not a fan of “reality” shows. But in case you haven’t heard, actor Stephen Baldwin has selected Love146 as his charity to play for on NBC’s new reality show; “I’m a Celebrity, get me out of here.” A few nights ago on the show he was talking about our work to end child sex slavery and exploitation. He posed the question; “What would you do and how far would you go if this was happening to your child?”So I’d like to humbly ask… would you go so far as calling a reality show and voting for Stephen to stay on the show? And encourage others to do the same? The longer he stays on, the more funds Love146 will receive for our work. So…as crazy as this sounds…a vote for Stephen to stay in the jungle, will in essence be a vote to end child sex slavery and exploitation.
The real reality is that 2 children are sold every minute. And you can be part of the solution. A part of changing that reality.
How do I vote?Each contestant has been assigned a toll-free number which they will keep for however long they remain in the jungle. To vote, when prompted during the show, dial the phone number assigned to vote for Stephen. Stephen’s number is: 1-(877)5 KEEP 10 or 1-(877)553-3710.
Or log on to www.nbc.com to vote online. Voting will open at the start of the East Coast airing of the show. You can vote up to 10 times per originating telephone number via the toll-free vote method or up to 10 times per e-mail address when voting online. Calls are toll free from landlines.

As many times as I've voted for American Idol I will definitely vote for Stephen (Love146). Can I link this post to my blog? Yes, I'm blogging again.

Rob - never feel awkward about standing up for what you believe in. You do amazing work and its time the world knew about the issue and the good work your organization does to combat it. We were flipping channels the other night and were thrilled to hear Baldwin's question. Other than voting and sending money, what can families do for Love146 to make a difference? Post links to its website? Bumper stickers? Donations of staples for the safe houses? Help with mailings or e-mail campaigns? Legal advocacy? You have a network of friends around the world who aren't celebreties but are ready to help.:) Just say the word. Mary Li and Jim
Thanks for letting us know about this. We had the show on in the background, while we were cleaning up the kitchen one night, but we haven't actually watched before. We'll watch the show next week and vote for Love146!

I just read the FAQs, and the voting lines are open until 4 am tomorrow. I got my 10 votes in! :-)

I was watching this show and heard Steven and got so excited to know that he had chosen Love146! Unfortunately, we don't get it LIVE in Guam!
Thanks for the opportunity to help a great cause!! We've put a link on our website, too.
