Mac I may have an idea here that could work. Check your pm's.

Red cross gets my vote.

I will chip in cash
and I have a reel to add to the auction/raffle whatever you decide.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

My sister from New Orleans and her husband and 6 year old have no home and no jobs. They have a hatchback filled with a few posessions. They need to move elsewhere and find new jobs.

Maybe it's just being selfish, but I would rather see donations go directly to our friends and family members. I know that my sister and her family will not be going to a temporary shelter and standing in a line for food. They have a place to stay (her husband's grandfather's house -- with 25 other people), but they need to build an entirely new life. The Red Cross will not help them do this.

Just my $.02, and I'll be in on whatever is decided on.

The worst day fishing is better than the best day working. ...Wait a minute, my work IS fishing. Sweet.

Hurricane Relief

I think everyone should do whatever they can that is within their means to help the survivors of Katrina. There are a number of charities (especially the Red Cross) that you can make donations too.

I am a Methodist and am donating through our church's organization. You don't have to be a Methodist to donate (of course) so if you want to make sure your donations go to this very cause you can donate to The United Methodist Committee on Relief's (UMCOR).

You can make your donation online at:

http://www.methodistrelief.org/site/...PHIpE&b=876335

The site also tells you what you can do to make "food buckets" for relief (which is something every one can do(.

Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.

I can sympathize with BassBabe's point of view. Maybe we get a list of family/friends of S-B and go 50/50 with Red Cross/family. That way we know we have an impact on known families.
