Help the Red Cross help Katrina's victims

Officials are surveying the devastation of Hurricane Katrina and finding a situation even worse than they expected.

Revised estimates place the damage at $25 billion dollars.

As of this afternoon, over 80 deaths had been reported in Mississippi alone--and 30 of the losses so far accounted for are known to have occurred in a single Biloxi apartment complex. No doubt the death toll will continue to rise as reconnoissance continues.

Thousands of Gulf Coast residents will be homeless and countless others will be without water or power for weeks to come. Please, make a donation to the American Red Cross to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina.

Also, be sure to check Wikipedia for real time updates on Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath.

Sadly, this represents another failure to lead provided by President Bush. When he was smiling and laughing out west, Americans were dying along the Gulf Coast. We can't wait for him to help; please do everything you can.
