Moveon.org: Haiti Donations

Rightardia is not a fan of the Red Cross because it has been involved in a lot of labor disputes and scandals over the years. We recommend you contribute to charites rcommended by MoveOn.org. 

Dear MoveOn member,

The news coming out of Haiti is almost too terrible to imagine.

Three million people have been affected by Tuesday's earthquake, and the Red Cross estimates as many as 50,000 may be dead. Survivors are digging through the rubble with their hands in a desperate attempt to rescue those who are trapped.

With water and medical supplies in short supply, and the Haitian government paralyzed, international aid efforts in the next few days will be critical to prevent more human suffering.

These three charities, and many others, are providing care. If you can contribute to help fund their emergency efforts, please do.

Thanks for all you do.

Rush Limbaugh is suggesting that Obama wants you to send money to the White House so your name will be added to an Democratic mailing list. This is simply untrue. The White House blog states the following: 

The President on Haiti: "The First Waves of our Rescue and Relief Workers are on the Ground and at Work"

Posted by Jesse Lee on January 14, 2010 at 12:25 PM EST

This morning the President gave another update on relief efforts in Haiti, promising the people of Haiti that "you will not be forsaken; you will not be forgotten."  Again, while the US Government is doing all it can, you can also help immediately by donating to the international fund of the Red Cross to assist the relief effort.

• Donate $10 to the Red Cross to be charged to your cell phone bill by texting "HAITI" to "90999." 
• Contribute online to the Red Cross,
• Find more ways to help through the Center for International Disaster Information.

And of course families of Americans living in Haiti should still contact the State Department at 888-407-4747.
