Moderator, take the link to the Red Cross off the list of charities and I will double my donation to the Salvation Army.

At the suggestion of writer Michelle Malkin last Friday, I have cobbled together a blogsite called Texas Clearinghouse for Katrina Aid to serve as a clearinghouse for refugee efforts in Texas.

Texas is getting more refugees than any other state -- that's fine, we'll take them all -- but we need help providing them with food, clothing, and shelter. I have listed dozens of churches and other organizations that need your help now or who can help if you need help yourself.

If you are a refugee, you can information that will help you find relief. If you want to donate or volunteer, you can find someone who needs you.

Right now the site mostly covers Houston and Dallas but I will add various churches, schools, and other charities in San Antonio and Ft. Worth tonight. My wife is down at Reunion Arena in Dallas as we speak handing out care packages and otherwise ministering to the refugees as a representative of her employer.

There are a lot of churches and other organizations in Texas that need help in dealing with the problem and I would be most appreciative if you would get the word out.

Many thanks,

Michael McCullough

I hacve been unable to get through to the numbers listed as her refrences (probably due to the phone service down there). If anyone can help me contact them please FReepmail me.

This piece gave a good description of the pre positioning of forces. The left has purposely distorted reality to kill the president.

If you are a democrat......shame on you. Hatred for America is not a bad attitude.

Red Cross says 91% goes directly to aid, 7% costs. I thought it was much lower. Any web site with a good, trustworthy list of charities ranked by expenses?
