    Donny is doing what most parents would do-------------supporting his child. Either vote for whoever you think deserves to win,or ignore the message ! I can't believe people are over reacting so much !

    Just out of interest, could someone please tell me when Don lived abroad for years? Apart from his mission, I didn't know he'd spent that long away from home. I love Donny, but I won't vote for Don - his entry is not the best (imo) and I agree with the previous comment - there are far too many grammatical errors in all his blogs. If you think it is the best then vote, but don't vote out of loyalty to Donny.

    I have read some of Don's blogs including this one and I think he does really well. Although, I do see the point of some of the people commenting about not wanting to vote, Dad's fame etc.; it was a request and you can choose to not vote. JMO, but Luis Monteiro has 3463 votes. I truly find it hard to believe that Luis achieved that many votes because 3463 people read 394 blogs and thought his was best. Don is one of five people who has over 1000 votes, everyone else is about 600 or less. I don't know how others are getting their votes. I wish them all luck.

    voted for Don at the beginning of the voting and didn't do it just be cause he is Donny's son. if you don't want to vote for him don't. but don't complain because his dad is puttong the address to vote for him on his web site. if it was your child you would do the same. and donny isn't giving him votes people have to go to the site to vote themselves. if he wins it will be on his own merit. he writes a great blog and i think he would do a great job. good luk don.

    I'm with those of you who say that the young man should be attempting to go on his own merit. It would give him some SELF confidence and motivation to do it. As a proud parent, of course Donny is using his fans and fame to get his son ahead. I say, imo, Donny is doing his sun a tremendous disservice, despite all his good intentions. This is not the first time this happens and I think that, in turn, Donny's fans rightfully feel used to be asked to participate in votes like these.

    I voted and I hope he wins. I never felt forced to vote, it was my choice. Also, if I can make a dream come true, I'll put my vote in to make that happen. Patty

    I am sure that Donny is an outstanding Christian, and I have always admired him. However, I would like to see his adult children succeed on their own merits and talents, without the parent using his huge fan base to campaign for votes. Just my opinion. Sincerely, Daryl

    I think it is very unfair to use Dad's notoriety and fan-base to help what is essentially a popularity contest. Firstly, Don should have enough family money to send him to Antarctica. If Don is trying to make it on his own, then he should not be looking for votes on his Dad's website.

    Hi, very disappointed by this request. I was not happy with the vote last year for the best song by one of Donny's sons, i felt sorry for the other contestants too, and how can you vote for a song you have never heard. Yet again Donny is using his fame to enable one of his children to gain something ONLY for this reason: they have a famous father. One of my daughters, a teacher, has a science degree, and would love to do the expedition, she has no chance, will never get enough votes, and will never be able to finance it. This is so wrong of you Donny. Very upset and angry lifelong fan.

    Love Donny's music & how he conducts his life, but this is just wrong. I agree that it's unfair to be asked to vote for his son based on that fact alone and not on the content of his article. Couldn't Donny send Don Jr. to Antarctica himself?? The other "less privileged" contestants should get a fair chance.

    BTW--has anybody read the excerpt from Don's article??? Don't think a writer should have grammar errors in something to be judged as a writer's best work. "...every breath is a gift give to us," Also, "...will the destination will be worth it,"
