Dead Rooster Featured on CNN
Today on CNN’s American Morning, Veronica De La Cruz did a segment featuring Bloggers Unite for Human Rights, a joint-effort between BlogCatalog, Bloggers Unite and Amnesty International which encourages bloggers all over the world to observe May 15th as a day to blog about human rights. Dead Rooster participated in this effort and was featured, along with PointlessBanter.net, in the CNN story.
A special thanks to Richard Becker of Copywrite, Ink for bringing things together on BlogCatalog.

@AmyOops,
Thanks! It was very exciting. I happened to watch it live this morning hoping to see someone I knew on there–I never dreamed I would see my own blog. What a gigantic surprise!
