About Melanie

Thanks for visiting my website!

For first time visitors, let me explain a little bit about who I am and what I do.

For almost 15 years, I was co-host of the Lee Rodgers and Melanie Morgan show, getting up at 3:00 AM to get ready for work, arriving at the studios for a 4-hour radio program in San Francisco.

Now I get to sleep in until 3:10 AM (what an improvement, huh?) so that I can prepare for my new broadcast "America's Morning News" which can be heard coast-to-coast as a syndicated news program, co-hosted by John McCaslin here in Washington, D.C. where I now live.

I also love being a wife and Mom. I enjoy listening to news radio stations, surfing the Internet and watching the cable news networks for the latest news on the war against terrorism, as well as other breaking news of the day.

I hve been a frequent guest on many cable TV shows, including Fox News.

In the afternoons and evenings I type out dozens of emails to people every single day, working with various individuals in the "Support Our Troops" movement. Although I resigned as Chairman of Move America Forward last year, I am still passionately involved in helping to send care packages to our military men and women overseas.

I've gone to Iraq to interview our troops — including trips up and down the "Highway of Death." I've launched a national caravan to Crawford, Texas, and a nationwide bus tour stopping for pro-troop rallies in 20 American cities. I've organized 9/11 commemorative events, led a drive to send 1000 TONS of coffee, cookies, Gatorade, beef jerky and other goodies to our troops.

I traveled to Kuwait in January and delivered 225,000 Christmas, Hanukkah and holiday cards to our servicemen and women.

Despite all of my efforts, it's still not quite enough to propel our pro-troop movement to the success that I know is required. I will not accept failure for our cause, not when it is OUR responsibility as Americans to watch the backs of our troops while they are busy overseas fighting bloodthirsty terrorists who maim and kill in the most gruesome and painful ways their minds can contrive.

All of the items for sale on my website are designed to raise money for my former non-profit organization, Move America Forward, and to raise the awareness of the nation in our fight against terrorism.

I'm particularly proud of my  book released last October. "American Mourning" that was written by myself and my brilliant, amazing friend Catherine Moy. It was inspired by our trip to Crawford, Texas last July to confront Cindy Sheehan's demand for a meeting with President Bush. We had an 'insider' look at her media operation, and it was truly astonishing. (It was an Amazon.com best-seller!)

Mostly, though, we wanted to remember her son, Casey, and his best friend, Justin Johnson, who died six days after Casey was killed and to honor both of these extraordinary young men as true American heroes, and all others who sacrificed their lives for the Iraqi people's freedom, as well as their families.

That's why I offer you the chance to help me — because I can't do it alone. Together, we can fight the propaganda that filters its way into the mainstream media, in order to finish our mission in Iraq, and honor our troops worldwide.

I hope you buy the book, or purchase cookies and coffee for our troops, or come to our rallies supporting the military men and women who volunteer to put their lives on the line each day.

I am most grateful for the outpouring of support I have received from Americans of all political persuasions who do not want to forget our troops, and who listened to me on KSFO all these years.

And I'm thrilled that I can be heard again on the radio all across America thanks to the good folks at Talk Radio Network and the Washington Times. Tune in - we start bright and early at 6:00 in most time zones!

God Bless,

Melanie
