This is the first of MANY reminders to come about the BLOGATHON/FUNDRAISER(*) to be held on the Brad Blog on Friday, July 8 through Monday, July 11, 2005. You can link to a detailed description of the event. But this message is not posted to tell you what the Blogathon can do for you; it is to tell you what you can do for the Blogathon and for Brad. So what can you do?

• You can donate your artwork and other quality items for the silent auctions to be held.
• You can help advertise the event in any way you can think of, including:

• advertising the event at other progressive websites (we NEED you to help do this!)
• posting flyers in your community
• posting word of the event on your personal web pages
• using the event as your tag line on your e-mail
• posting on message boards
• getting your older children to invite their friends to the event
• e-mailing at least one person
• talking with everyone and anyone you can
• posting a free ad in your local paper
• putting up a notice in public places such as your library, grocery stores, workplace, school, malls, etc.
• try to get some of the more progressive media to mention the event on air, in print, in their Blogs, etc. (e.g.- on Air America, on some of the radio stations Brad has been on recently, on the Brad Show, on Raw Story).

Please contact Steve by e-mail at BradBlogathonFundraiser@yahoo.com regarding any donations of artwork or other items for the event. You can also contact him regarding your additional ideas, suggestions or questions regarding this event.
