Tsunami relief
Isn't it amazing? When we in the US have a natural disaster, there are six deaths and a special interest story about the rescue of a family pet. When there is a natural disaster in India or Southeast Asia, the deaths number in the tens of thousands immediately, with who knows how many from Cholera, Typhoid, malnutrition, etc.
What do we do? We can contribute to relief organizations. Hugh Hewitt has links to World Vision, which is a good group. A physician I know has worked with World Relief and has good things to say about them as well.
Consider it! We in the United States are blessed beyond all imagining. We are well taken care of. It's the right thing to do.
And in keeping with the Right Wing nature of this board, please consider how it looks to the rest of the world when armies of Americans contribute vast sums to helping...muslims and hindus and animists and buddhists. Also if you do it quick you can get a tax deduction!
