"All of our guests were truly amazing, but Michelle Malkin was the break-out star of the telethon, alongwith Debbie Lee, a Gold Star mother whose son Marc Alan Lee was the first Navy Seal killed in the fighting in Iraq. Debbie ran our tote board. MIchelle is so poised, professional and truly engaged in troop support, with the technical vision to make this happen.Kudos to Brad and John for creating this great medium and going all out to help make this a sucess."UStream.tv co-founders Brad Hunstable and John Hamm never left the broadcast from the moment it began, babysitting us all the way through."
What a great job by MM and MM and MW too.. They Got It Done!!!
Kudos to UStream and Thanks to All the remote guests and service family members that helped make it such a HUGH success!!!
Congratulations to Melanie Morgan and all who made this possible! Great job!!
God bless our troops!!
Outstanding News!!!
It was so wonderful to take such a part in history! I hope to God the troops DO get the message that we are here for them, that we love them and are doing all we can on the homefront to battle these liberal traitors.
Calling to donate meant a long stay on hold, but it was well worth it.
We can never change what was done to us when we came home from Viet Nam, but seeing events as this and the mass support tells me that our motto, NEVER AGAIN, will be proven true.
Thank you, America.
When we went across country last November to collect cards to send to the troops at Christmas time (over 250,000) we sent some of them from fly-over country and immediately Debbie Lee started getting emails from Iraq from troops expressing their gratitude.
Waiting on Oberlame to have a telethon for the troops.
Or ANY dimlib!
Bet he couldn’t come close to matching this one.
Excellent!
AWESOME!!!! BTTT!!!!
Good job by the patriot chicks.
From a Move America Forward email Wednesday.Talk about an odd coalition - but we'll take it!
Yesterday conservative talk radio giant, Rush Limbaugh, and the often liberal San Francisco Chronicle both promoted our effort to send the largest care packages to U.S. troops in history. (Check out some of those comments from liberal readers of the Chronicle - they're very angry that we are supporting the troops!).
So now here we are - 24 hours away from the start of the From the Front Lines telethon. I am leaving it in your hands, the people of this nation, to do what you can to help us reach our goal and send in excess of $500,000 in care packages to U.S. troops.
An interesting quote from the Chronicle article:
Conservatives and new media? Hmmm. Those two haven't exactly danced a lot together. Who -- and what -- could bring this crew together?Funny how out of touch liberals are.
After all their moaning and groaning about how conservatives control the media and the Internet, now the truth comes out. Finally the Conservative message is cracking the glass ceiling of the Liberal Media spin.
Don't tell them we been dancing together for a long long time... :>)
Fantastic!! God bless our troops!!
Early on as I watched the feed and saw the totals coming in I said to my self, “self, they’re gonna surpass their goal - you just watch and see.”
Congratulations and grateful thanks to all involved - hosts, guests and contributors.
And thanks to you, Syncro, for this presentation.
Damn, I’m proud to be a Troop Supporting American and proud of all my like-minded individuals.

Big salute to all concerned with yesterday’s telethon. Fantastic results! The fastest eight hours ever!!!
Oops, Dude...
Let’s give credit where credit is due: thanks to the SF Chronicle.
But the truth of the matter is this effort was really the work of hard core conservatives.
I was watching when they gave a shout out to us FREEPers!!
