This years NFTT (Netroots For The Troops) effort will be tax deductible thanks to Netroots Nation and their partner Netroots Arts and Education Initiative, a California 501(c)3 corporation. When you click on the donation page it will direct you to a page with the following disclaimer;
Paid for and authorized by Netroots Arts and Education Initiative
NFTT will be recipient of all funds donated through this link. This Donation Page has been set up for our use.
I'm writing this due to the confusion that the donation page has caused. The Front Page ad here ad Dkos has added to that confusion it seems. To help clarify that confusion the ad will now be linked to this diary. It's an extra click and some extra time to read but it seems it's necessary.
NETROOTS FOR THE TROOPS
Our goal this year is $50,000.00 in cash or in-kind donations. We are looking for only corporate in-kind donations this year. So if you know of corporate contact let Donnamarie,VeloVixen, orTexDemknow. We won't be taking small in-kind donations due to the logistics nightmare it presents. Pittsburgh is not Austin and we have different house rules at the convention site.
You can DONATE HERE to contribute to this worthy cause.
Important Note on Successful Donations

For a little more peace of mind, you can note that the donation is intended for Netroots For The Troops in the comment section when you submit your contribution.
Books for Soldiers
The question has come up several times, what about books? And the answer is, books are great! It's just that other organizations are more specialized in the collection and distribution of books to Iraq and Afghanistan. If you are interested in sending books, please consider checking out the Books for Soldiers Website. It is run by DKos's very own Stormbear and is a great resource for giving.
