Hurricane Katrina has devastated thousands of lives. Today, we’re announcing a coordinated effort by the liberal/progressive blogosphere to help the victims of the devastation. Together, we’re going to raise $1 million for the American Red Cross - and prove that the liberal blogosphere can help our fellow citizens in need. Make a donation for hurricane relief.
As President Clinton once said, “There’s nothing wrong with America that can’t be fixed by what’s right with America.”
The most prominent lefty blogs in the nation, represented by the Liberal Blog Advertising Network, are leading the way by running donated ads and asking readers to join us in making a difference. Combined, these blogs will display their ads over 12 million times each week over the course of the campaign.
Of course, we invite all progressive bloggers to participate in our community-wide campaign. Get the HTML to post the ads on your own blog or website. With your help, we can make sure that progressives everywhere hear the call to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina
All of the proceeds will be sent to the Red Cross. Donations are being tracked by Drop Cash. Transactions are secured through Paypal. You can be certain that your contribution will be secure, for a good cause, and people will know it came from the liberal blogosphere.
Thank you. Together, we can do this.
Best,
Kari Chisholm

Hrm. I’m not sure about making donations to make a point, as opposed to making them to help people.
As far as I’m concerned, folks can and should donate, through whatever means, whether they are liberal, conservative, libertarian, authoritarian, moonbat, wingnut, or sick of politics.
On the other hand, if a competition with “conservative” blogs leads to extra donations, swell. As long as the point is to be helping others, not to be going neener-neener (or to be proving who’s better, who’s more dedicated, who’s more patriotic, who’s more self-sacrificing, etc.).
Just my immediate reaction.
