It is amazing to me, I sent this link to a lot of people and every single person who leans to the right had negative feedback for someone who is trying to make a difference in a small way. I think that says a lot.

If you read the list of donation recipients you will see several items on there that stand a chance of helping someone to learn to stand for themselves.

Don't get me wrong, I am a skeptic when it comes to big charity organizazions, just look at the fiasco in New Orleans. But, as I recall during the big doner drives republicans were quick to point out that the big charites were primarly run by the right which makes sense to me that all this money gets misused.
