Thanks. For Washington, DC Chapter donations (I've worked directly with this chapter
in the past - they are VERY good at what they do):
http://www.redcrossdc.org/TopMenu/donation_information.php3
Remember that we're a big country and if everyone helps it doesn't take much. Let's
show the President that he didn't make a mistake by refunding some of our tax money.
Instead of pipelining our money through the government so that 10% can get to the ones
who really need it, we have a unique opportunity to show that we're responsible enough
to do something on our own. Who knows, maybe the idea of charity will finally replace
the idea of government spending in this country and we can all do more to help while
saving dough in the future.
