With just two days left, Hot Air continues to surge! Our latest count brings their total to $13,005.70 in care package! We're absolutely stunned with the great success of this blogger competition-further noted by EVERY team's standing on our score board.
The Anti-Jihadists continue their strong rally and remain in second with $5,099.21. And in a remarkable comeback, Ron Winter's Greyhawks team is now in third with $1,574.64 for care packages. Our new teams, FreeRepublic.com and Family Security Matters, are in fourth and fifth with $274.95 and $224.98, respectively. And, Team COINS rounds up the list in sixth with $124.98 for care packages. The latest roster and standings can be seen here.
Thank you for pushing this great event and encouraging your readers to sponsor care packages to the troops! We have been quite impressed with all the terrific postings we've seen-please keep up the great work and help us finish strong!
Most important-this competition is not over! We're awarding prizes to the top three finishing teams and we're also going to announce a special prize for the team that brings in the most contributions for care packages in any single day. Any team can still win that special prize, so let's keep pushing!
And again, please let me know if you have any questions or need any additional information. Thank you again!
Cheers!

Arghh!
I just clicked through the process for the 99.99 deal...If I can do it everyone can!!!
Let’s Go FReepers!!!!!!!!!!!
I very much support the military, although I wasn’t a soldier...and I bought a $50 package...
Quick question. Why doesn’t the military supply the men and women with the needed supplies? We spend literally trillions on the military, why can’t they find sunscreen or brownies for those serving?
I pay nearly 50% of my check in taxes...state, federal, etc. why can’t they get the personnel what they need?
Thank you very much!
I served in the Navy during Vietnam and can assure you that our military is very well cared for, but we always enjoyed those cards and care packages from home. Even and especially if from strangers. Gives you a great feeling to know how much you are loved and appreciated.
Thank you very much, FlashBack!!
Woo hoo!! Way to go, FlashBack!!
E-mailing the crew to get in on this too!
I just did a $50.00, but how do they know to credit the FR blogger team?

Thank you for the opportunity and God Bless!
Thank you very much, mckenzie7!!
God bless!
While the FReepathon isn’t for the troops, it keeps FR a float and I’m sure the troops appreciate FR, one of the few places where they are really appreciated.
Thanks and Good work for representing FR.
[Mr] T
Thanks Trooprally!
It’ll be great to see you again in DC!
Thanks Jim,
Freep on!
In addition to all of the major conservative talk show hosts, celebrities are lining up for Move America Forward’s Troopathon. Just as a sample of some of the great talent we are lining up, we have: country western megastar Charlie Daniels, TV game show host Pat Sajak, and actors John O’Hurley, Dale Dye, Jerry Heleva, also known as Saddam Hussein, and Love Boar Captain Gavin McLeod.
They all want to help get care package to our troops serving overseas, by signing on to our troopathon. But to be a success, we need more than celebrities. We need you to join in and help us achieve our goal of the biggest care package drive for our troops is history – beating our record from last year.
While we here at home can enjoy our freedom and go swimming this summer or sit inside our air-conditioned homes, our uniformed men and women continue to march in the heat and fight for freedom. The temperature in Iraq today is forecast at 107 degrees, and by Tuesday that will rise to 113 degrees. Imagine packing all of a soldier’s gear in such stifling heat and you may get an idea of why the care packages with Gatorade are so important to our troops.
| Boca Java Coffee Oreo Cookies Chap Stick Deodorant Painted Hills Beef Jerky Planters Trail Mix Ocean Spray Craisins Trail Mix Gatorade |
Candy Diplomacy Jelly Belly Jelly Beans For The Troops CDs Hot Chocolate Hot Apple Cider Bug Repellent Wet Wipes Foot Powder Sun block |
Most importantly, each care package comes with YOUR letter expressing support for the troops, encouraging them to keep up the good work! Please sponsor one today

Never mind, I figured it out. :-)

The phenomenal Miss California USA Carrie Prejean will attend and participate in Move America Forward’s Troopathon tomorrow in person at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library!
She’ll be joined by a long list of Hollywood stars, talk radio titans, two former Presidents and current and former military men and women. Together, they’ll rally patriots across the country to send care packages, honor our military, and make history.
Carrie is a great last-minute addition to a project that already includes such luminaries at Rush Limbaugh, Kelsey Grammer, and Dennis Miller. But the real stars are our proud men and women in uniform, and the real force behind the effort is the critical mass of grateful Americans capable of coming together to sending the largest shipment of care packages to our troops in history.
Send care packages, honor our military, and make history. Carrie is a great last-minute addition to a project that already includes such luminaries at Rush Limbaugh, Kelsey Grammer, Ann Coulter and Dennis Miller. But the real stars are our proud men and women in uniform, and the real force behind the effort is the critical mass of grateful Americans capable of coming together to sending the largest shipment of care packages to our troops in history. Be a part of this coalition today, and help us show our troops we care!
Yup, I fixed Ann Coulter's name so it could be seen better and Carrie Prejean is going to be there in person!
Tommorrow!
Is that a Ford Fairmont?
Shhh... No telling secrets Dain!

It is time to prove our mettle as troop supporters and give it our all. This is the moment when we can choose to make history and inspire the men and women of our military with our love for them.
Today from 4pm to midnight EST Melanie Morgan, Mark Williams and Andrew Breitbart will lead the web event of the year, bringing together top celebrities and troops on the ground to make our big final push to send the largest shipment of care packages to our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.
None of the celebrities will matter unless Americans like you step up and support our troops by sponsoring a care package today so we can break the record and make a strong statement in support of our troops.
On today’s webcast, made possible by Ustream.tv, you’ll see the outpouring of support we’re experiencing from the top talkers on radio like Rush Limbaugh, major TV personalities like Greg Gutfeld, bloggers like Hot Air’s Ed Morrissey, actors like Jon Voight, authors like Walid Phares, and pro-troop leaders like Pete Hegseth. You’ll also get word from the battlefield as guests join us from Iraq and Afghanistan to give you the real stories that we don’t hear enough of and attest to the meaningfulness of a package from home.
Our lineup of guests for this landmark event is truly unparalleled. Nowhere else can you find such a top-notch, broad and inclusive powerhouse of luminaries coming together on one day for one important cause, and that means we have a unique opportunity.
So join us and be a part of this momentous event. See all the details at Troopathon.org, watch the stream live from the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library from 1pm to 9pm Pacific/4pm to midnight Eastern here, spread the word by telling a friend and please send care packages to our troops today.
Together, we can send the largest-ever shipment of goodies to our friends and neighbors serving in the military and fight America’s enemies around the world. We can do it, and they more than deserve it.
So help us make history and shower our troops with the largest shipment of love and care packages in history. There are a number of different sized care packages you can sponsor - whether you want to show your support for just a couple of our troops or a full Battalion or Company
