Help Send Bloggers to Denver
Submitted by Aldon Hynes on Fri, 08/15/2008 - 14:08
I've been spending a lot of time talking with various bloggers going to Denver to cover the Democratic National Convention. It is expensive to get there, pay for food, housing, and whatever else. Many of the bloggers have set up 'ChipIn pages', so I've gathered several of these.
African American Political Pundit (AAPP)
There are also a few blogs that simply have PayPal links. These include:
Celtic Diva's Blue Oasis Paypal
Natchez Blog Paypal
Note: I'm told that Nachez has reached their fundraising goal, but I felt I should list them anyway.
I hope that you check out each of these blogs and then contribute what you can to help them get to Denver.
Interesting mix

Talk Left
Submitted by Aldon Hynes on Fri, 08/15/2008 - 16:32.It is fair to note that Talk Left's donation link is really a generic link and not specific about covering Denver, but I thought I would be fair and include the link.
As to the hundred places that'll be more enlightening than Denver, I hear that. I went back and forth trying to decide if I should try to get to Denver. In the end, I decided it just wasn't worth it for me. However, I am very glad that many of my friends will be there and will be giving a perspective much different than the traditional media will provide.
This is a great idea to post
