sorry to double post, but I feel like this is an extremely important thing for us to consider.

Many of you have probably heard about the text to donate programs today....I found a list of a few if anyone wants to donate that way. 100% of the proceeds are going to Haiti relief from what I understand and the donation will show as a charge on your cell bill...

Text HAITI to 90999 to donate $10 to the American Red Cross
Text HAITI to 25383 to donate $5 to International Rescue Committee
Text HAITI to 45678 to donate $5 to the Salvation Army in Canada

There is a hitch though, the text to give to Haiti only works on the Rogers and Bell mobility networks right now. A Telus spokesperson interview on Vancouver CBC radio said that Telus should have the Haiti to 45678 text message donation service up within 24 hours.

Text YELE to 501501 to donation $5 to Yele (this is Wyclef Jean's charity)
Text RELIEF to 30644 to get automatically connected to Catholic Relief Services and donate money with your credit card
Text HAITI to 864833 to donate $5 to The United Way
Text CERF to 90999 to donate $5 to The United Nations Foundation
Text DISASTER to 90999 to donate $10 to Compassion International

WTF are you talking about? We haven't occupied Haiti since the 1930's...They're an indipendent country.

Haiti gets more help than Louisiana and Mississippi got a few years back... Half of the Haiti population lives in FLA anyway (the worse half i have always heard)

Soon there will be a string of gas stations, inexpensive motels, restaurants that serve rapidly prepared food! Tire salons, automobile dealerships and wonderful, wonderful billboards reaching as far as the eye can see! My God... It'll be beautiful.
