Valour-IT: Liberals Step Up

[FbL here]

UPDATE II: I've debated whether to include One Utah, since putting up a button in comments on one's own blog doesn't seem to quite meet the standards of actually blogging it. However, I sent the link in my latest email to Malkin and we'll see what she does with it. Btw, she says she will wait until the afternoon/evening then put up an new post/update of all the lib blogs we've found so far. The commenters at her site are now offering the following for each liberal blogger who signs up and posts, in addition to MM's $50 challenge (thanks to stevegg for kindly creating the compilation at my request):

F15mech - $50 to Team Air Force
trinitytim - $25 to Team Army
swj719AWG - $5 to each team ($20 total per left-wing blog)
SirKnob - $5 to Team Navy/USCG
steveegg - $5 (divided as equally as possible among the teams)

UPDATE: We have another one--Lawyers, Guns, and Money--which isn't going to appeal to most of the readership as much as one might think. ;) And I haven't heard from Malkin yet, but her readers are ponying up. Three cheers for following through; let's hope we end up emptying their wallets for Valour-IT!

I had some time to do some snooping in our blogger team lists this morning (scroll down), and am very happy to report my findings: at least four liberal bloggers have stepped up to Michelle Malkin's challenge to blog Valour-IT.**

Greg from the Left
Online Lunchpail (see sidebar)
Springbored's Springboard

And last, but certainly not least, our very own Trias at Insanity Blog.

Thanks to all of you who responded to Malkin in a polite and rational manner and threw the gauntlet right back down at her feet. Her commenters have issued their own challenges, and Valour-IT is looking forward to the donations your blogging will inspire.

Way to go, friends across the aisle! Let's keep lightening those wallets for Valour-IT!

**As mentioned before, the challenge is to just blog in support of Valour-IT, as we know that people on both left and right have generously donated to Valour-IT from the very beginning.

First of all I am the commenter F15mech at Michelle Malkin's site. In one of your posts you mentioned that a certain
well-known lefty blogger, who still wishes to remain anonymous
has made a donation of approx $100.00. That being said, I will match his/her donation based on your word. Project Valour-IT is not about supporting the war or our government decisions regarding the war. It is about helping wounded soldiers, that need assistance (that the government does not provide at this time). I am happy to hear that at least six liberal blogs understand that. So count me in to match Michelle's pledge plus an extra donation of $100.00 for the liberal blog that wants to stay nameless. F15Mech
