'Web-a-thon' for the Troops
Rick Moran
Move America Forward's Melanie Morgan and blogger/author Michelle Malkin are holding a Web-a-Thon for the troops today that will be liveblogged on numerous sites and simulcast on U-Stream:
I'll be in beautiful Mountain View, CA all day today for "From the Frontlines," our ground-breaking web-a-thon for the troops. Move America Forward's Melanie Morgan and I will go live on Ustream.TV and right here at MichelleMalkin.com (as well as at HotAir.com) at 4pm Eastern/1pm Pacific. (Just hit the play button on the embedded video player above when showtime arrives; if you'd like to join the live chatroom, make sure to register at UStream beforehand!) I'll be updating this post all day as I liveblog the event from UStream's studios. Thanks to all our fellow bloggers who've helped spread the word!
We've got a star-studded line-up of troops, military charities, celebs, and talk radio stars - from Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin to Dr. Laura and Laura Ingraham to musician John Ondrasik and "Lone Survivor" author and Navy SEAL hero Marcus Luttrell - who'll be joining us in our eight-hour marathon fund-raising drive to help send the largest number of care packages in history to our men and women in uniform serving overseas.
You can sponsor a Care package to the troops for as little as $15.99 with other items up to $899.99. The event will begin at 4:00 EST and you can catch the U-Stream broadcast at Hot Air or Michelle Malkin.com. Or you can watch on the U-Stream website here.
Malkin has already made known what she will donate:
I'll start things off with the purchase of a $499 "The Deluxe Platoon Pack," which contains:
Containers of SPF30 Ultra-Sweatproof Sport Sunblock
Sticks of Delon Intense XL Deodorant
ChapX Lip Balms
Packs of 100ct. Baby Wipes with Aloe and Lanolin
Insect Repelling BugButtons
Maxi Mini Fans with belt clip and break-away neck rope
Packages of Premium Jerky
Gatorade Drink Mix packets [1 Gallon Size]
Bags of "Connoisseur Class" fresh ground coffee
Tubs of Deluxe Military Emblem cookies
Bags of Jelly Belly "Candy Diplomacy" packages
Diana Nagy's new CD feat. "Where Freedom Flies"
"From the Frontlines" is a noble effort, one certainly deserving of your support.
