"Calling All Bloggers" is the headline at the widely read, conservative Power Line blog, where John Hinderaker writes that he is:

Delighted to be collaborating with Joe Trippi, one of my favorite liberals, on a bipartisan project to support America's veterans. The project is called the Eleven Eleven campaign; the objective is to get 11 million Americans to contribute $11 apiece to support America's vets. The campaign will be internet-driven, and all bloggers are invited to participate.

According to Eleven Eleven, there's a "blogger call" tonight at 8 p.m. ET during which Hinderaker, Trippi, Gold Star mother Ruth Stonesifer and Beyond Tribute Executive Director Matthew Boulay will talk about the campaign and how bloggers can get involved. Click here for more information about that. BeyondTribute.org, which has begun the Eleven Eleven project, is a coaltion of 11 charities "that specialize in direct services and/or advocacy for veterans of all eras and conflicts."

Actress Kim Cattrall explains in this video how contributions can be sent via text messages:

You can also contribute online here.

Eleven Eleven gets its name from Veterans Day (Nov. 11; this Wednesday) and from its goal to get 11 million Americans to each donate $10 -- to which Beyond Tribute will add another $1 to bring it up to $11.
