Only 4 Days Left to Make a Difference for Our Troops!

ACTOR MATTHEW MARSDEN AND RADIO VETERAN RUSTY HUMPHRIES RETURN TO TROOPATHON

This is the home stretch boys and girls! We are now only four short days away from our 4th Troopathon, “Remember Their Sacrifice” and this is the critical time when we really need your help.

The goal of Troopathon is to send the largest single shipment of care packages to our troops ever. The summer an extremely tough time for our troops deployed in Afghanistan and Iraq. Right now in Basrah, Iraq, daytime temperatures are hitting 115 degrees. In Afghanistan temperatures are 109-113 degrees! To help provide comfort and help our troops beat the heat, we want to send tons of care packages to our troops deployed on the front lines.


Help get the word out about Troopathon! We need to let as many people know as possible before Thursday June 23rd!

MATTHEW MARSDEN RETURNS TO
TROOPATHON FOR BIGGER INTERVIEW!

Last year we had a very special young actor join Troopathon. Matthew Marsden has been in many films, and is well known for playing the roles of military characters.

In the epic film Black Hawk Down, Marsden played a prominent role as Army Ranger Dale Sizemore, part of the U.S. forces sent to Mogadishu by President Clinton in 1993.

More recently, Marsden played a British Special Forces character in Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen. You will also recognize him as James Taggart in the recent film adaptation of Atlas Shrugged.

Marsden says he has a very personal connection to the roles he plays, because of the fact that he has a huge amount of respect for those that serve in the military. He supports the troops every way he can, like participating in Troopathon!

RUSTY HUMPHRIES IS A FIGHTER FOR OUR TROOPS ON RADIO

Rusty Humphries has been on the radio for over 25 years, and throughout those years Rusty has been a trusty advocate for our troops! Rusty’s on air broadcasts have taken him to Iraq, Kuwait, England, Cuba, Mexico, Italy, and Israel (including Gaza and The West Bank).

He has become an expert in military affairs. He regularly features some of America's solders and great leaders live from the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan.

Rusty even has direct connections to the Pentagon and US Central Command and Move America Forward is proud to welcome him to this year’s Troopathon.

Actor Matthew Marsden and radio talk host Rusty Humphries join an amazing cast of guests who are lending their names and celebrity status to try to help build support for the Troopathon effort.

It won’t do much good though unless people know about what’s happening… so please forward this email and use social networks like facebook and twitter to spread the word about Troopathon coming June 23rd!

URGENT: I Really Need Your Help RIGHT NOW!


 
Dear Friends, 

MAF Blogger Danny here, I am writing to you because we are now only 5 days away from our Troopathon, and I'm in desperate need of your help right now! 

Myself and my colleagues here at Move America Forward have been working around-the-clock to SPREAD THE WORD about Troopathon, our annual drive to send a huge shipment of care packages to troops for the summer.

I need your help to let everyone know about this amazing event.

We all know how difficult it is to be deployed overseas, especially during the summer months! Thats why it's important that we make Troopathon a success.

In order to ensure a successful Troopathon, and make sure we send as many care packages to our troops as possible, we MUST get the WORD OUT about Troopathon IV "Remember Their Sacrifice".

We have some great guests on this show, from our wonderful hosts Melanie Morgan and Roger Hedgecock, our co-hosts Andrew Breitbart and S.E. Cupp, and guests like Mark Levin, Sean Hannity, and Gary Sinise.


It would be a terrible waste to put on a show of this caliber and waste it on too small an audience...we want people to see Troopathon and see how many great pro-troop celebrities are involved!

In previous years we have raised tons of money to send care packages to the troops with our annual Troopathons. Last year we raised over $700,000. If we don't raise at least that much this year, it's going to be a huge let-down for the pro-troop community, and sadly...our troops will not reap the benefits of the hundreds of tons of care packages that we could be sending... don't let our troops down this year...spread the word about this event.

I'm asking for your time and assistance - help us spread the word about Troopathon to EVERYONE you know! Ask them to tell their friends too!

Don't forget to watch Thursday at 1-9 pm pst, live streamed via ustream.

It's good to see conservative Hollywood people step out in front to support the Troops.

Thanks for the bump!

Hi Syncro,

I’m a little confused after reading up on this.

Do we have to wait for the 23rd to donate? Hopefully you know the quick answer.
