Sample blurb describing the video:
In appreciation for all the amazing mothers everywhere, MomsRising has made it possible for every mom to get a personalized Mother of the Year award -- announced online in a faux news cast. Check it out: http://news.cnnbcvideo.com/index2.html. Send all your favorite mothers this video so that they can be congratulated by President Obama, celebrated by Hollywood stars, praised by remarkably articulate baby, and more. In addition to being very funny, check out the crawl under the newscast. They snuck in a little educational content that Moms out there will likely appreciate.

Dear [NAME],
Mother's Day is this Sunday, and I'll bet you know many moms who deserve thanks, and an award, for all they do. Well, our friends at MomsRising.org have developed a way for you to send moms a really funny, personalized faux video news report, about them winning "Mother of the Year." Each one of the moms you send the video to will see her name embedded right in the video as the winner!
When I saw it, I laughed out loud:
