Loaves And Fishes Baby


Here's an idea.

The FoxBots are planning for another orgy of the GlennBeckian self-serving outrage known as 'Tea Parties'. The American Citizen/Foxnews Volunteers will be doing their Teabagging on July 4th, because that's the day that we celebrate our refusing to pay taxes to governments where we had no representation, unlike now, when all these citizens actually have representation and ... oh you know they have no more idea of what they're talking about than do I.

Anyway.

Some on the left have decided that rather than celebrating our independence by reveling in our self-centeredness PERHAPS we could acknowledge Liberty's need for inter-dependence and community.

To that end, GT12 wants to get on board with The Million Can March

THE CHALLENGE: To collect one million cans of food for our nation's food banks, food pantries and shelters by July 4, 2009.


WHO: Progressive bloggers with a special invite to conservative bloggers.


Here's what we'd like you to do:



  • Take a bag of food to a local pantry

  • Organize a food drive where you work or play, your church or motorcycle club, etc.

  • There's no one right way to get involved. Look around you, see the need and do something about it.

  • LET GT12 know about what you you've done


Let Us know how your effort goes. We'll pass it on to the organizers so that YOUR CANS CAN BE COUNTED.

Seriously, let's do something to ease the recession.


Info will also be available over there on the right hand side of the blog. Just click on the dancing cans!


YES WE CAN.

This sounds awesome! Also, one of the greatest needs for food banks are non-food items (toilet paper, toothpaste, shampoo, pads, tampons, laundry soap, etc) that cannot be purchased with food stamps.
