given that FEMA is not letting aid in.

Bastards.

The basement of hell is not adequate for the monsters responsible for this disaster.

1. Also said to give blood
I'm in favor of giving blood, but is this a real need at this time? Nationally?

Once again, he came across as a smarmy bastard. Why does he need to tour Red Cross HQ in DC? Just another photo-op?

2. Not necessarily
IN Austin, the main volunteer corps is the Red Cross.... they are doing great things... If you want to make sure the $$$ goes to evacuees, donate to the local Red Cross and volunteer (if you are in a community which is housing people. I'd say that if you aren't in southern states, MAYBE you could direct funds to states like Texas' Red Cross? I know they are getting a LOT done.

Just don't give to Operation Blessing Pat Robertson with $$ he is bound to abscound with (I don't knwo this for sure, but you can't help but wonder)
