I keep trying to register to vote and it takes me to takepart.com and tells me access denied, you are not authorized to access this page. Maybe the link is wrong? Thanks for the help!

Hi Julie.
Unfortunately, it seems like the TakePart website had some technical difficulties earlier today.
Because this opportunity is so important to our wildlife-saving work, we’d really appreciate it if you would please try voting again at http://www.defenders.org/membersproject.
Thank you so much for your patience and for supporting Defenders of Wildlife in this important effort!

I did try to vote for DoW using my Facebook account. The site accepted my FB identity but still wanted my hotmail and its password. I think that generally violates safe email protocols. Can you get AMEX to change how this site registers voters???
