    Calling All Texans!

    Friends, we need your help! "Don't Mess with Texas" has been nominated as
    one of the best slogans of all time. It is up against slogans like Nike's,
    "Just Do It" and Wheaties', "The Breakfast of Champions."

    The winner will have a bronze plaque placed on Madison Avenue's "Walk of Fame" and it will get a permanent place at the Advertising Icon Museum
    in Kansas City. Wouldn't it be cool for New Yorkers to have to walk past a
    bronze plaque every day that read, "DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS"?

    Winners are selected through online voting. Basically, our goal is to
    get as many Texans to vote as possible. And with 22 million Texans, how can we lose?

    Here's how you can help:

    1. Most importantly, go to <http://www.votedmwt.com/> and vote for "Don't
    Mess with Texas". One vote per computer, so you can vote at work and at
    home!

    2. Forward this email today to all your friends, family and coworkers asking them to vote for "Don't Mess with Texas."

    THANK YOU from DEEP in the HEART of TEXAS!

    I beat you by two minutes. On internet message board time, that's a 70-3 blowout in College football.

    We won!

    Texas to advertising world: Don't mess with our slogan
    Houston Business Journal - September 29, 2006

    If it wasn't already, Texas' most famous anti-litter slogan will now go down in history as one of the country's best advertising catchphrases.

    "Don't Mess With Texas," the 20-year-old public service campaign slogan created by Austin advertising firm GSD&M for the Texas Department of Transportation, has won the third annual Advertising Week Walk of Fame competition, sponsored by Yahoo! and USA Today.

    "Don't Mess With Texas," which received more than 400,000 votes, beat high-profile slogans such as Nike's "Just Do It," Maxwell House's "Good to the Last Drop" and "Got Milk?" from the California Milk Processors Board.

    Advertising Week, held in New York City, is North America's largest annual gathering of advertising and media industry decision-makers, according to event organizers.

    As the winner of the contest, "Don't Mess With Texas" will earn a spot on New York's famous Madison Avenue, and receive a bronze plaque that will rest on Madison Avenue between 49th and 50th Streets, along with victory banners lining the famous street.

    As the top winner, the slogan will also receive permanent recognition in the Advertising Icon Museum in Kansas City.

    Austin ad agency Tuerff-Davis EnviroMedia Inc. is the current steward of TxDOT's "Don't Mess With Texas" campaign.
