since only 1 (pyramids) of the original 7 wonders of the world still exist the "new 7 wonders campaign" is having a re-election the 7 wonders. the public votes out of 21 candidates. anyway, here is the link: http://www.new7wonders.com you have to register, but it is free and they don't send junk email. it's simply to try to keep it one vote per person. anyway, votes go until july 6, 2007 by internet or phone. the new 7 wonders will be announced july 7, 2007 in lisbon, portugal.
