About the Project:

On June 25th, 2009, Move America Forward, the nation’s largest grassroots pro-troop organization, will be hosting its 2nd annual “Troopathon”. The program will run from 1:00 pm to 9:00 pm PST and will be broadcast live for eight hours from the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. The event will be hosted by Melanie Morgan, co-host of the syndicated radio show “America’s Morning News”, and Andrew Breitbart, who runs Breitbart.TV, and the “Big Hollywood” blog with Mark Williams, former radio talk show host. The goal of the project is to send a record number of care packages to troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. During the broadcast on the internet, radio and TV, viewers are encouraged to sponsor care packages for the troops as the guests and hosts discuss various topics related to supporting our troops. Last year, viewers donated more than $1.5 million to send care packages to troops. The goal is to surpass that number this year.
