Friends of Iraq Blogger Challenge

Support freedom, democracy and peace in Iraq
Leading bloggers are competing to raise funds to benefit the people of Iraq. 100% of all donations go to needs selected by these bloggers. Many of our projects support requests made by Americans serving in Iraq (Marines, Army, SeaBees) for goods that help the Iraqi people. Other projects directly support Iraqis who are on the front lines of building a better future for Iraq.

Want to participate?
Join the challenge as an individual blogger or as a team.

What They Say About Spirit of America

The Wall Street Journal Spirit of America: "A coalition of the can-do."

Dan Gillmor, San Jose Mercury News Spirit of America: "a Web-based humanitarian project that almost anyone can endorse, regardless of one's stance on the wisdom of the war."

(see caption below)

Major General Jim Mattis, USMC "The initiative and focused support provided by Spirit of America is beyond anything we have experienced. You have significantly impacted our ability to do good and, I fervently hope, reduce the potential for combat."

(see caption below)

Senator John McCain “Americans want to help our troops and the people of Iraq and Afghanistan who are working hard to rebuild their countries through freedom and democracy. Spirit of America offers excellent opportunities for personal involvement. The name says it all -Spirit of America - and it is providing ways to give support that makes a difference.”

(see caption below)

LtCol David Couvillon, U.S. Marines “They say there aren’t any ‘silver bullets’ for improving things in Iraq. I don’t know. Spirit of America just might be a silver bullet.”

About Spirit of America Some of our supporters see Spirit of America as a way to help people who have suffered from repression, terrorism and war. Others see us as a way to support our troops by helping them succeed with their mission. And others see Spirit of America as a way to contribute to the war on terror and advance freedom, progress and peace. We are all of those things.

Who put the fun in fundraising? Special thanks to Dean Esmay and Michele Catalano who came up with the blogger challenge idea and led the charge last spring.
