Looking for the best place to donate Go to the Front Page and

scroll down, it got pushed really far down. Any ways, there has been a fund set up by LA govt. for the rebuilding. This is great in so many ways. I would assume they will employee local residents (up 25% unemployment is predicted), I doubt there will be any price gouging (Aka Halliburton), it would use local business etc.

1. Agreed. I donated to this fund.

It seemed the best choice to have my money go DIRECTLY to people in LA.

Here's the link

3. It hasn't moved from 51 since early afternoon. I think people are

2. Thanks for posting this. I will definitely donate to LA rather than

any charity Bush talks about. If Bush endorses a charity, you can bet it's crooked.
