Call to Action --Secular Student Alliance benefit
Hello to all,
I don't know if others received an email from the Secular Student Alliance (SSA), but in case you didn't -- it's important and I will risk repeating what you already know. Here is the email:

We last heard from Jen, the blogger behind Blag Hag (http://blaghag.blogspot.com/), in the latest issue of the SSA eMpirical, where she told us about the highly successful Fiction for Fiction event held by the Society of Non-Theists at Purdue University.
Now Jen has more exciting news for us. On Saturday, July 25th, she's taking part in the 2009 Blogathon (http://www.blogathon.org), a once-a-year event that encourages bloggers to post an entry at least every half-hour for 24 hours straight, in the name of raising money for charity.
Here's the exciting part: her charity of choice is the Secular Student Alliance!
We're excited and honored that Jen is using her time and sleep-deprivation to help us! So we'd like to encourage you to step up and help Jen by making a pledge to support her blogging-for-charity efforts. Pledge either a lump sum or a per-hour rate at:
http://www.blogathon.org/pledge.php?blogid=234.
(You'll have to register at the site - sorry, but there's no other way about it unless you want to donate to the SSA directly at http://www.secularstudents.org/join)
We'll be watching Jen's posts this weekend - and we hope you'll be doing the same!

The SSA is for and by students and I believe they now have over 1000 chapters at different schools in the USA. These youngsters represent the future of atheism/humanism/scepticism. Check the project to raise funds for them and blog, blog, bog.
Correction: I overestimated, the SSA has 137 campus locations. I don't know what their yearly budget is, but their competition is the Campus Crusade for Christ which is funded to the tune of nearly one half billion per year and operates all over they world. CCfC is part of a vast conservative plan to change the world to a conservative viewpoint. Which is their right, of course, as long as they operate honorably and above board. The problem is that in recent decades the Christian right has taken an anything goes approach. The ends justify the means according to their national leaders.
The good news is that SSA received encouraging news from the the Obama white house and favors their efforts to promote civic voluntarism.
