Joining One Million People is now totally free of charge. They've decided to remove the $3 fee so that the project has the best chance of fulfilling its promise. Instead of charging users to take part they will now have one sponsor on each page of the book. They think this is a better way of funding the project, they want to thank all existing users for their early support of the project. Everyone who has paid will receive a full refund in the next 24-48 hours, and will of course get to keep their space and any additional spaces they purchased. New visitors to the site won't have to pay a penny to join, and they can add up to 5 additional spaces for their friends (with unclaimed spaces expiring after 3 days). If you have any questions please e-mail info@onemillionpeople.com . They thanks to everyone for their early participation and support and ask to spread the word!
