    Got this email from a friend of a friend. We can help to vote the slogan to the Madison Avenue Walk of Fame. Spread it around.

    The "Don't Mess With Texas" slogan has been nominated for a very prestigious award. If it were to win, a Bronze Plaque would be placed on Madison Avenue's "Walk of Fame" and would get a permanent place at the
    Advertising Icon Museum in Kansas City.

    Please go to http://www.votedmwt.com and vote for it. The competition is tough, like: Got Milk?; What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas; The breakfast of Champions; and others. So... please vote early and often and tell your fellow Texans to do likewise. Thanks.

    Wouldn't it be cool for New Yorkers to have to walk past a Bronze Plaque every day that said:

    "DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS"

    Vote early. Vote often.

    I will certainly vote for it as I love that slogan. Unfortunately, it never worked though; as much as I love my home state, I've never been anywhere as trashy. Texas MUST have more litterbugs per capita than anywhere else in the world.

    It's cause we're all extremely fat and lazy.

    Yes - I had to check on that one as well. (both)

    per the website . ."And when you’re in New York, stop by the Madison Avenue Walk of Fame to pay homage to all the winners. Under your feet, you’ll find the winners’ names immortalized on plaques on Madison Ave between 49th and 50th Streets. And high above your head, you’ll see victory banners waving proudly at Madison Avenue between 42nd and 50th Streets"

    That means New Yorkers will be walking on it the slogans and most New Yorkers don't bother looking up to see the banners.
