Here’s more information about how The Members Project works:

What is The Members Project?
The Members Project gives American Express® Cardmembers the
chance to dream up, and ultimately unite behind one idea that will have a positive impact in the world
around us. American Express will fund the winning idea with up to $5 million.
How long does it last? When does it end? The Members Project runs for 12 weeks from May 15,
2007 to August 7, 2007.

How do I rate a project?
This link will take you to my three projects.
https://www.membersproject.com/search.action?btnSubmit.x=0&btnSubmit.y=0&searchTerm=assyrian
Go to each project and just click on the number of stars you want to give that particular project on the
Project Details Page and it will be entered into the system. One star is the lowest rating and five stars
is the highest rating. Your ratings will help determine which projects make it to the Top 50.
How do I vote on a project? The voting phase begins on July 3, 2007, when the Top 50 project ideas
are announced. When the project is posted, you can add your comments to bring up the points. The
higher the rating, the better our chances to make this happen.

What are the Assyrian projects?
I have entered 5 projects that are designed to help Assyrians in Iraq
and Assyrian refugees outside of Iraq. Two of the projects are still pending approval. The three project
listed here are desperately waiting for your votes. Please take a moment to rate all three projects.
There is no purchase necessary. You only need a valid American Express Card to log in and rate
and/or cast your vote.
