The Spirit of America is sponsoring a blogger challenge to raise funds to help the people of Iraq and Afghanistan. The mission of SOA is to extend the goodwill of the American people to assist those advancing freedom and peace abroad.

Donations, which are tax-deductible and directed toward the donors choice of projects, help support such activities as providing sewing machines for women in Ramadi to buying library books for Iraqi schoolchildren.
I’ve joined forces with the Northern Alliance and, so far, we’ve stayed ahead of the other teams. We’re still falling short of the funds raised by Little Green Footballs but with a last minute push (the challenge ends on December 15th at midnight Pacific time) the forces of good will prevail.
