Your Name Here

It's peculiar to think that in a nation which enshrines freedom of speech in its constitution, that there'd be a need for the First Amendment Project. But there is. Eternal vigilance, etc, and the Sisyphean task of combating ignorance in the Jackass Generation and intolearance in the Jesus-For-Greed camp.

All of which requires donations. They're not-for-profit after all. And they have a hell of a cool fundraiser.

A group of authors are offering Insert-Your-Name cameos in their upcoming books to the highest bidders. Ever wanted to be a corpse in a Stephen King thriller? Or an utterance by Sunny Baudelaire? Howabout a name on a gravestone in Neil Gaiman's next kid's book, perhaps?

Other authors involved include Amy Tan, Peter Straub, John Grisham, Karen Jay Fowler... etc. Check it out.
