CINDY SHEEHAN ASKS: Adopt a Family in Houston

[BigBearJohn]

From Crooks and Liars:

I just received an urgent call to get this message out from the Cindy Sheehan camp. Anyone in distance of the Houston Astrodome get over there and adopt a family if you can. It's a humanitarian crisis of epic proportions. They need your help. The call is out. Let's do something to help these families.

3. anyone can adopt a family in any state, check here:

just post that you would be willing to help them get to where you are.

I posted an ad earlier. I don't know where I would put anyone, but fuck, I have a roof and water and food and God's word that doing his will not be a curse, but a blessing. And if there is no God, it's still the right thing to do. I heard a victim on TV say yesterday, "If you help one person, you help the world"

Sending 25 bucks to RC is fine, but these people need more than that. They need longterm help.

8. maybe DU could adopt a family?

if we pooled our resources including time, talent and treasure, we could help a family with getting restarted.
