40,000. 40,000 dead. The US government has pledged $15 million. That amounts to $0.05 USD per citizen. If every citizen gave $50, we could put our own government to shame. So: 1) Get out your wallet. 2) Go to the the Red...Have you heard?

22,000 people just died across southern Asia, and several hundred thousand have nowhere to live. (For the Americans in our audience, that's in excess of 7 times the number that died on September 11th. Think the world will change?) Please donate...Visa interview date set for Jan. 24th
