Help This BHS Senior Win a $25,000 Scholarship

Andre Clemente needs your votes to win a college scholarship.

An open letter from Andre Clemente:

I am a senior at of California and a long time Pontiac fan and owner of a 1968 GTO. I have always wanted to become an automotive technician, and I entered a nationwide scholarship competition for the Universal Technical Institute (UTI) that required making a video. I have been chosen as a finalist!! There are only six people in the nation who have qualified to compete for this $25,0000 scholarship.  The scholarship winner will be determined in an "American Idol" manner by a public vote. I need your help! 
 
My video has been posted on the UTI website: http://utigarage.com/tech-scholarship - the one with the Black Goat! 
PLEASE VOTE for my scholarship video! 

In order to vote, you must go to the website, check my video (Andre Clemente)and enter your email address to receive a confirmation email.  After you vote, please pass this email on to your friends, family, co-workers, and even subscribers! I need help spreading the word! 

The vote does not count until you click the link in the confirmation email! The contest ends on March 4. 2011 so please vote today! 

The student video that receives the most votes wins the $25,000 scholarship! 

Since the scholarship winner will be chosen by a public vote, I've contacted as many people as possible to vote for my video. Even the Mayor of Burlingame is willing to help. I hope this email will circulate throughout the state or even the country.
 
This is not a joke.  The Universal Technical Institute is a nationwide provider of education for students seeking careers as automotive and marine technicians.  It is the school where I hope to start my career. 
 
Every vote counts, and the help and support from High Performance Pontiac and other Pontiac enthusiasts nationwide would be appreciated and would mean so much to me! Thank you!! 
Sincerely, 

Andre Clemente
