Hey DU, need a suggestion!

[AsahinaKimi]

I just donated 100 dollars to Barbara Boxer for her California campaign. I have another 100 dollars I want to donate, but Not sure where it should go? Would like it to go to a Democratic cause, or something just as good. (Should it stay in California? Gavin Newsom?)

Am I allowed to donate to an out of state candidate? and Secondly, where do you think my 100 dollars would help best?

Give me some ideas, and a link, thanks so much! (PS, already donated to DU)

I went to the Ronnie James Dio memorial and learned of this charity. He and his wife gave a lot... and I believe she is still serving as a board member or something.

Yep! Wendy Dio... Chairman!

16. There's the National Association of Free Clinic that Olberman helped

raise money for. I think they're in New Orleans right now. Or they were earlier this week. They always need funds. The article below is from last year when the health care debate was raging.

Keith Olbermann Helps Raise $1.2 Million For Free Health Care Clinics

Because of an appeal during his special comment on health care, Keith Olbermann has helped raise $1.2 million for free health care clinics, resulting in new health fairs in Little Rock, Kansas City and New Orleans.

"I propose tonight one act with two purposes," Olbermann said then. "I propose we, all of us, embrace the selfless individuals at the National Association of Free Clinics. You know them, they conducted the mass health care free clinic in Houston that served 1,500 people. I want a mass health care free clinic every week in the principle cities of the states of the six senators key to defeating a filibuster against health care reform in the Senate."
