Please vote for the groups that you felt really made a difference this year. There are lots of groups but only 10 options for the Poll - so I, off the top of my head, picked the biggies I could think of. Please vote for your TOP FIVE.

I'll post the results on my blog and website and, of course, they'll be here. You have until Jan 12th to cast your vote.

Not the most important thing in the world but is there any way a vote can be deleted. I misread this and just voted for one. Would love to vote for five. Not the most important thing of course.
