I officially signed up today for the Blogathon 2005 today. I didn’t post about my involvement with the project this year until I could actually sign up, and since I did that this morning, and I’ve set a goal of $150 (which is $50 more than last year), I figured I needed to start to ask for pledges! :) This year I am going to blog for Amnesty International. I’ve not yet decided on a concrete theme, but I may ask for user submitted topics/and or photos. At least if I sue one of the themes I was thinking about last week. So. What I need from you?!? A pledge. the minimum pledge is 1.00. I am aiming for $150 by the end of the ‘Thon. (Right under countdown to the ‘Thon in the “navigation” side bar there will be a running total of pledges.) The way it works is you pledge the money on the Blogathon site, and then when the even is over you send your money directly to Amnesty International. (They do offer a way to pay by mail if you don’t want to give your CC details online.) No CC info is required to sponsor, since we don’t need any of that info. Make Your Pledge Here!

As for why I chose to blog for Amnesty International. I have no concrete reason for choosing Amnesty International other than just wanting to pick a charity that does a great deal of good, and that is also not specifically political.

Amnesty International is a worldwide campaigning movement that works to promote all the human rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other international standards. In particular, Amnesty International campaigns to free all prisoners of conscience; ensure fair and prompt trials for political prisoners; abolish the death penalty, torture and other cruel treatment of prisoners; end political killings and “disappearances”; and oppose human rights abuses by opposition groups.

Please let me know if you have any comments, questions, concerns about my participation in the 2005 Thon. Or any you have about Sponsoring me! :)

So, just a little FYI for you other bloggers. Project Blog isn’t happening this year. But the Original blogathon IS and it’s Aug 6th 2005. (Sign ups aren’t open yet, but that should be coming soon.) The Project Blog peeps do have a reason listed on their site as to why it’s not going down, and they link to the original Blogathon. I had already decided on doing the Blogathon because it’s further away and I will have more time to get sponsors. (I’ve not blogged about this previously because I didn’t feel I should until I was all officially signed up and stuff.) So there ya go. Project Blog is off this year, And Blogathon 2005 is on.

Blogathon 2005 Stay up late. Make a difference.
