HurricaneHousing.org is a non-partisan project of MoveOn.org Civic Action. We're happy to partner with organizations across the political spectrum, and will post the logo of established organizations that promote the site without regard to their political view. To support the site, you can contact us here.
MoveOn, MoveOn.org and MoveOn.org Civic Action are trademarks of MoveOn.org Civic Action. MoveOn.org Political Action is a trademark of MoveOn.org Political Action.
The MoveOn family of organizations consists of two entities. MoveOn.org Civic Action, a 501(c)(4) organization, primarily focuses on education and advocacy on important national issues. And MoveOn.org Political Action, a federal political committee, primarily helps members elect candidates who reflect our values.
>>>I only glanced through the moveon related site but it seemed to me that they were trying to match people with houses/rooms with people in need. Is that inaccurate?
Then....let's say that is true too.
Red Cross has them in more than one place and on more than one site as the 'housing provider'.
WHO need the extra billion?
All the radio broadcasts I heard on our radio was to volunteer to open up our homes.
Most are encouraged to go stay with friends and family.
Who is sheltering and who needs the money.
john kerry:
"I will vote against the nomination of John Roberts to serve as Chief Justice of the United States.
I refuse to vote for a Supreme Court nominee who came before the Senate intent on demonstrating his ability to deftly deflect legitimate questions about his views, opinions and philosophy.
If he is confirmed and he may well be the Roberts Court will shape the course of constitutional law for decades to come. It will decide dozens of cases that will define the depth and breadth of freedom in America our commitment to civil rights, our dedication to civil liberties, our devotion to privacy and a woman's right to choose.
With that much at stake, Judge Roberts needed to show us where his heart is. Instead he recited case law and said little about what he really thought.
While I recognize that other members of the Senate will legitimately make a different choice, I will vote NO on the Roberts nomination. "
Thanks for the ping Tonk!
1 billion $ is not priceless
It will go a long way in 2006 & 2008
MoveOn.org has 2 parts
a 501(c)3 - tax exempt
a 501(c)4 - non tax-exempt
I imagine they attempt to use fraudulent PR ads on tax exempt contributions like Sarah Brady has always done
Commercial Money Laundering
They then list a couple of other organizations. These include, along with the moveon related folks, a group called KatrinaHousing.org They have a Salvation Army link on their Housing Opportunities page where they include multiple links to organizations offering housing.
I conclude that this is a big mess that continues to stretch the means and capabilities of all those trying to help in any massive way. There are so many displaced people who will require semipermanent housing but who are now in a state of limbo.
Well .. I've thought of that .. but I'm not sure I want some idiot like Sheehan having control of so much repub money. The idea is good .. but there's always the chance of getting stuck with some ding-dong.
Yep! It's going to be an interesting 2006 and 2008.

Thanks. BTTT.

Thanks for the ping Tonk...this could be unbelievable.
She's still got the MoveOn stuff up. Brazen, ain't she?
I also checked my two senators, Hilliary and Chuckie, to see if their websites had a MoveOn link, and couldn't find one. It'd be interesting to see if any others do.
Okay.....there seems to be alot of excitement over this. What am I missing?
But this was known weeks ago. Fox News reported it several times right after the hurricane.
I was so glad to be contacted by a professional acquaintance that we know and trust about a private relief effort that took place immediately after the hurricane. Our acquaintance volunteered to coordinate the financial aspect and help put out the word.
Last night at dinner we learned that the effort has taken $26,000 in emergency relief supplies to rural MS areas, with a 96% effectiveness rate. (Only 4% went to admin costs) I'd like to see moveon, the Red Cross etc. try to claim they can come anywhere near that efficiency and honesty with other people's money, haaa!
Not one penny of my donation went to NO. It all went to rural MS folks.
Good work. This is what the FR does best.
