Massachusetts Can Lead the Way Once Again
New polls show that Scott Brown leads in Massachusetts and he needs our help. I've signed up to call from home, something I did for the Palin campaign. Yes, Palin... because we had no hope at all til Sarah joined the ticket. And I would not have worked as hard for the centrist (I am being charitable, re: centrist) McCain without a true conservative at his side.
I thought we'd win New York 23 and we probably did. Just that the machine went into full-fury and precincts were not counted, under-reported, all the same issues that plagued Minnesota and gave us the fool, Franken.
That can't happen Tuesday. The margin has to be huge. Large enough that even the corrupt MA political machine, augmented by the Chicago thugs, in full complicity with the main stream media -- the win has to be so large that even those factions won't dare disparage the outcome.

Haitian Relief Efforts
I visited Haiti a few years ago when my sister was posted there. If you've ever seen the late-night Save the Children commercials... the actual conditions are worse than portrayed. Even in normal times -- as when I visited -- in the best of times, the poverty, filth, desperation are indescribable. I cannot imagine how the survivors will ever recover.
The Salvation Army, Red Cross and many churches, credit unions and other community and civic organizations are organizing relief efforts. Amazon.com has added a box on its home page that customers can click to donate to the Haiti relief efforts of Mercy Corps, and anyone with a cell phone can donate $10 to the American Red Cross by sending a text message with the word "HAITI" to 90999.
The FBI today released a warning about potential Haitian Earthquake Relief Frauds. If you are solicited for funds to benefit Haiti relief efforts, be extremely cautious and verify before disclosing financial information.
Please consider donating what you can to help the survivors.
