Amazon Affiliates called out to Help a Good Cause – Blanket America

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) January 2, 2010 -- Blanket America highlights the message of hope and call to action that President Barak Obama issued Americans on January 20, 2009. Amazon affiliates are asked to join the Blanket America cause in response to that call to action.

It is well known that when a person takes pride in their country and rises to the call of action, their country takes pride in them. On January 20, 2009 President Barak Obama gave the American people hope for a new tomorrow via his inaugural address. He told the people that no matter what their differences, they can come together as one, united and strong, to help the poorest Americans through one of America's darkest hours. He showed the people that their patchwork heritage is one of their greatest hidden strengths, not a weakness or a burden.

In answer to this call to action, the Blanket America project was born. The Blanket America project has created a buy one, give one charity, helping the donors and the poor. Through the purchase of one Patchwork Heritage quilt, a new blanket is given to someone in need.

With the help of Gifts in Kind International, one million blankets will be given to the needy throughout the next year. Originally set to launch mid-January 2010, the Patchwork Heritage Collection is now launching December 23, 2009; just in time for Christmas.

Since November, the Patchwork Heritage collection has been available for pre-order through Amazon.com. JC Penny's stores will also carry the collection at its stores nationwide. But, more help is needed.

If Amazon affiliates joined hearts and hands to help this worth cause, so much more could be accomplished. That goal of one million blankets sold could be achieved more easily. It may even be possible to surpass this goal, providing even more blankets to some of the thirty five million Americans living below the poverty line. Joining the cause is easy. By going to http://www.blanketamerica.com and clicking on "get involved" stores can sign up to make a difference.

The Patchwork Heritage quilt features President Barak Obama's inspirational inaugural speech on its back, with lady liberty standing proudly in the background.
The face of the heirloom quilt is comprised of 13 different fabrics, uniting harmoniously to represent our 13 original colonies. The quilt shows us that we are all different, but when we come together we are strong, united and beautiful.

The Patchwork Heritage Collection features decorative pillows and pillow shams that are the perfect compliment to the quilt. Whether the quilt is used as a tapestry, throw or comforter, the pillows and shams will set it off beautifully. The collection is designed to fit nearly every décor.
