- So MUCH Promo, CANN can hardly keep up!
So lets get going …there is so much going on!!
Let’s start with the most important post and topic.
On Friday, UNICEF partnered with AOL to post a compelling site for the emergency that is happening in Somalia. They asked Clay to be a part of the promotion since he spent time in Somalia for UNICEF.
Make sure you hit this important site and learn about $10 for 10 Days.
If you want to see Clay in the PR for UNICEF you need to let them know. Leave a positive comment that supports UNICEF and Clay as a spokesperson. A big thank-you to AOL for posting this important message.

Since this was on the public part of the OFC, I assume it is OK to post this news. Have you posted a question yet?
The Advocate is an American LGBT-interest magazine, printed monthly and available by subscription. The Advocate brand also includes a web site. Both magazine and web site have an editorial focus on news, politics, opinion, and arts and entertainment of interest to LGBTs. The magazine was established in 1967, and is the oldest continuing LGBT publication in the United States.
This publication has not always been supportive of Clay Aiken. However, on Friday they posted two different articles about Clay that are positive. I hope you will read and then post a comment. Comments are important. They let the writer and the site know that Clay brings in hits. If there are few comments, Clay will not be at the top of the list of celebrities that are reviewed at the site.
The first is an article about Drop Dead Diva. Go to page 4 when you reach the site. ADVOCATE
Finally, an article called “Gay Teen In The South.” GAYTEEN
Michael A Gallagher writes for different publications in up-state New York. He had the opportunity to interview Clay about his appearance on Drop Dead Diva.
In a recent interview with StayFamous.Net, Aiken talked about his guest-starring role on the series and the message he hopes the story conveys to viewers.
You can see the entire interview at STAYFAMOUS .
AFTERELTON is another site that has not always supported Clay. However, on Friday, they ran an interesting article.

The story of Constance McMillen‘s courage to stand up and fight for the right to go to her high school prom with her girlfriend is one that is near and dear to writers and readers alike here at AfterElton.com. Many of us have had to stand up to bullies in our lives, but not too many of us have had to be the David to the Goliath of an entire school administration and the town we live in.

You must have been reading my mind as I was just thinking those exact same words right
before I decided to come here and read what you had written for todays write-up!!! All I could
think of while LOL was that one day Clay was "retiring" and everybody was so worried – now, look!
He is everywhere doing everything! I'm loving it all and really have to check out the Somalia thing.
I have been reading about it in the newspapers and wondering if he would be involved!
Thanks for all of the info – you are so appreciated!
You're right Musicfan…this has been an incredible week. There has been so many things, especially about this episode of DDD. I have never seen such a promotion. I am so please with all of this. Thanks for listing what's been going on..cause I can't keep up this week, there has been so much. Of course Clay's involvement with Unicef is so important. It's what I love about Clay the most, is not only his voice, but how he uses it for other things that are important. It truly is an honour being a Clay Aiken fan.
Wow, what a fantastic week for Clay fans. It is wonderful to see Clay's continued use of his "voice" to promote and education about the important things in life. He truly is a spokesman for those who have no voice or little chance of being heard.
It certainly has been a wonderful week……..AND…….I am so proud to be a fan of Clay Aiken.
Thank you for putting all the info in one place. It makes it so much easier for the fans!!
musicfan123 – That's quite a list of Clay goings on that you've compiled re: one of the greatest Clay fan weeks. Funny how some things surprisingly happen while he's on vacation. Clay certainly was a busy man. Very impressive. Really has the fan base fired up. I am eagerly awaiting Clay's Sunday DDD performance and then the August 1st video chat. Fun! Fun! Fun!
Thanks for the goings on info. You did a fabulous job as usual.
It sure is an exciting time to be a Clay fan right now. I hope the excitement continues for a while longer. Thanks for keeping us updated on the latest Clay news.
He is fantastic and a wonderful person with more talent then fifty singers and stars put together. He should be on a regular series with some singing in it…LOVE His Voice. He is so committed to unicef and cares o much for others…I want to see more of him.
