Behind the Grassroots Effort to Make Military Families TIME's 2011 Person of the Year

You've probably seen it on Facebook, at the Daily Kos, on Wordpress, or in a newspaper: LIFT, or "Like it for TIME," the grassroots effort to get TIME magazine to consider the military family as its 2011 Person of the Year.
