You've watched us reveal all but the top five entries in our big countdown, The Top 25 People Crippling Scientology -- now it's your turn to vote for your own list!
Here's the link you've been waiting for

-- now go and tell us who you think is doing the most to contribute to the Church of Scientology's current nosedive.
Here's how to enter and qualify for fabulous prizes...
Go to the poll page, and in the first two slots enter your name and e-mail address so we can contact you if you win something: we're going to randomly choose five people to receive signed copies of both Janet Reitman's book Inside Scientology and Hugh Urban's The Church of Scientology!
After you've entered your information, put a different name in each of the 25 open slots. We will only count ballots that are completely filled out and contain 25 different names.
After you vote, come back here and tell us who you voted for in the comments -- and why -- so you can sway your fellow voters! Yes, we like our electioneering rollicking and raucous here at Runnin' Scared!
