If I may be so bold and suggest Freeping for Brad Blauser, a man who is doing amazing things in Iraq. He started a program to get wheelchairs to disabled children in Iraq and he will donate the winnings to providing more wheelchairs.

Here is his website:

Any other FReepers care to chime in? I don’t care for CNN ...nor do I trust the that the people they would consider would be approved by our board of freepers.

Is there a reward for the winner or something. All are worthy causes and it seems a little sick to make them compete like that, IMO.

[mnehring]

$100K.

I can vouch for Brad. Pinging Allegra, I’m sure she has seen him around the dust bowl there.

Who ARE those people and why are few white?

[SoldierDad]

I’ve not heard of any of these people before. But, if people here suggest voting for Brad, then Brad it is.

[ThunderSleeps]

Ditto

[Kirkwood]

I voted for Roy.

[Kirkwood]

“why are few white?”

Why does the color of a person’s skin matter?

[mnehring]

Ditto Kirkwood.
I didn’t even pay attention, frankly, who cares if they were all green, most seem to be great people (I didn’t watch all the videos). Great INDIVIDUALS doing great things.

I voted for Jorge. I lived in NY for awhile and I know how tough his chosen charity is.
