$11 for Veterans Day

An unusual coalition is backing the http://eleven-eleven.org, trying to get 11 million Americans to each contribute $11 for veterans programs. It’s sponsored by BeyondTribute.org, and has been endorsed by Joe Trippi (the strategist behind the Howard Dean campaign) and John Hinderaker of the Republican Powerline blog.

The groups to whom the money will go are:

• American Gold Star Mothers

• Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America

• NY State for Vets

• Service Women’s Action Network

• Student Veterans of America

• The Bob Woodruff Foundation

• US VETS

• Veterans of Modern Warfare

• VFW Foundation

• Vietnam Veterans of America

• Wounded Warrior Project
