I'm not supporting the Network telethon for Haiti
Edited on Tue Jan-19-10 03:38 PM by brooklynite
...because to do so is to wait an additional three days to make a contribution. The earthquake was a week ago; the time to donate is now.

3. They'll still need money 3 days from now. Make a contribution then and now.

4. You don't have to. You can donate any time. However,
the telethon may well generate donations from those who have not already given. If that happens, then it will be well worthwhile. I support anything that will generate donations, even though I've already donated all I can this month. I'll donate again next month, and monthly until things start falling into place.

Money will be needed for a long, long time.

5. It's going to be a very long recovery period...
they'll need mega donations in the future, just as they need now.

6. Just imagine what ONE WEEK's war budget would do - many times what is being
provided now.

7. I intend to keep making small doantions. Easier to afford and Haiti will need the funds LONG
into the future.
