Right off the bat, I'd like to say that as
far as I am concerned, raising money is the easy part.
Seeing to it the money is spent intelligently is the part
that's really difficult.

President Bush has already pledged 10
Billion Dollars to help relieve the sufferings of the
hurricane victims. To me, that statement offers no comfort
whatsoever. My guess is, if the U.S. Government does
contribute 10 Billion Dollars, the major part of it will
somehow end up in the bank accounts of Halliburton
executives and the executives of other large corporations. I
believe anybody who looks to the United States Government to
remedy any problem is extremely foolish and blind to the
realities of our government.

After reading your replies about the Red
Cross and FEMA, I feel very comfortable in saying neither of
those organizations should ever, ever receive a dime of your
money.

Many of my newsletter readers recommended money be sent
to something called "Catholic Charities". I think Catholic
Charities might be an excellent and ethical organization.
But I certainly don't want my name highlighted with any
organization that has the word "Catholic". Why? It's very
simple. The Catholic Church is riddled with pedophiles. It's
not a case of a few bad apples spoiling the whole bunch.
Pedophilia is ripe throughout all levels of the Catholic
Church. And the amount of money the Catholic Church has had
to pay to the victims of pedophilia is so tremendous, it is
large enough to repair the damage created by
many natural disasters.

Other readers suggested we donate to the
Salvation Army. I think that's sort of a good idea. At least
it's much better than donating to the Red Cross. But the
Salvation Army has overhead... and... I believe they do not have
the skills and organizational ability to do what's needed to
be done.

That Leaves Me An Option

I Can't Believe I Would

Have Ever Endorsed!

In a few minutes I'm going to let you read
something one of my readers sent to me. This will
explain to you who... and... more importantly WHY... you should donate money to
in order to help victims of disaster.

But before I share that with you, I'd like
to tell you what I think (after a lot of prayer and thought)
really needs to be done to help these victims.

First, I think we should establish several
safe haven "tent cities". I think these tents should be
erected on wooden or cement platforms. Each of them should
contain a small air conditioning unit. I think all of the
tents should be supplied with cots, sleeping bags,
toothbrushes, toothpaste, hairbrushes and combs, and all
the other material things necessary to survive on an
extended "camping trip".
