Last year, over 1,000,000 votes were cast by young readers! &#8230; Launched in 2008 by the Children\u2019s Book Council and Every Child A Reader, The Children\u2019s &amp; Teen Choice Book Awards program was created to provide young readers with an opportunity to voice their opinions about the books being written for them&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/twoifbytea.com\/adventures\/index.php\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushRevere4.jpg\"\/><\/a>&#8220;From Tuesday, March 25 to Monday, May 12, 2014, kids &amp; teens will be able to vote at CCBookAwards.com&#8230;&#8221; We will link to that. We\u2019re not gonna do it today. We\u2019ll put this link at RushLimbaugh.com tomorrow (Tuesday) when voting begins.  Every Child a Reader is a literacy organization dedicated to instilling a lifelong love of reading in children,&#8221; and Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims has been nominated.  I\u2019m one of the five finalists for Author of the Year.<\/p>\n<p>The readers, the kids, vote.  It\u2019s totally democratic.  The nominations are determined by sales, not by choice or any other kind of bias. It\u2019s strictly by sales, and <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.twoifbytea.com\/\">Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims<\/a> &#8212; one of the top-selling children\u2019s books of all of last year &#8212; is nominated.  We\u2019re very proud. We\u2019re very honored here.  Obviously, it\u2019s irritated some on the left who are trying to get us &#8220;denominated.&#8221;  That\u2019s how intolerant they are. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rushimg.com\/cimages\/media\/logos\/2ndbookavailtoday\/1239199-1-eng-GB\/2ndBookAvailToday.jpg\" width=\"585\" height=\"240\" style=\"margin-bottom: -25px\" border=\"0\" usemap=\"#Map\" \/><\/p>\n<map name=\"Map\" id=\"Map\">\n<area shape=\"rect\" coords=\"417,4,577,236\" href=\"http:\/\/twoifbytea.com\/adventures\/index.php\" target=\"_self\" \/>\n<area shape=\"rect\" coords=\"71,145,191,186\" href=\"http:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/untitled-2-to-be-confirmed\/1116394311?ean=9781476755885&amp;amp;itm=1&amp;amp;usri=9781476755885&amp;amp;cm_mmc=AFFILIATES-_-Linkshare-_-PwUJvmDcu1U-_-10:1&amp;amp;r=1,%201\" target=\"_blank\" \/>\n<area shape=\"rect\" coords=\"214,150,325,182\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/1476755884?tag=simonsayscom\" target=\"_blank\" \/>\n<area shape=\"rect\" coords=\"41,187,135,231\" href=\"http:\/\/www.indiebound.org\/book\/9781476755885\" target=\"_blank\" \/>\n<area shape=\"rect\" coords=\"135,188,220,232\" href=\"http:\/\/www.booksamillion.com\/ncom\/books?isbn=1476755884\" target=\"_blank\" \/>\n<area shape=\"rect\" coords=\"225,189,323,227\" href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/book\/untitled-2\/id686958096?mt=11\" target=\"_blank\" \/><\/map>\n<\/p>\n<p>In fact, it was funny, the Huffing and Puffington Post &#8212; in doing a story on this, how outraged they were &#8212; had a headline: &#8220;Do You Believe We Live in a World Where Rush Limbaugh is Nominated for a Children\u2019s Book Award?&#8221;  They\u2019re just beside themselves.  But it is a distinct high honor, and all of us here are very proud, and I wanted to mention this to you.<\/p>\n<p>We will link to the website where readers can vote beginning tomorrow (Tuesday).  It\u2019s called the Children\u2019s Choice Book Awards, and I can understand the left being ticked off about it.
