Obviously, they want to be where you are.



well...this seems as good a spot as any to post this...

"The earthquake that rocked the coast of Haiti killed or injured a
devastating number of people. Even more were left in need of aid, making
this is one of the great humanitarian emergencies in the history of the
Americas. In the aftermath of the disaster, President Barack Obama asked
President Bill Clinton and President George W. Bush to raise funds for
immediate relief and long-term recovery efforts to help those who are
most in need of food, water, shelter, medical care, and support. In
response, the two Presidents established the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund
(CBHF) to identify and fulfill unmet needs in the region, foster
economic opportunity, improve the quality of life of those affected over
the long term, and assist the people of Haiti as they rebuild their
lives and country. Presidents Clinton and Bush oversee the CBHF through
their respective nonprofit organizations, the William J. Clinton
Foundation and Communities Foundation of Texas. One hundred percent of
the donations made to the Clinton Foundation go directly to relief
efforts. Ninety-nine percent of the donations made to the Communities
Foundation of Texas go directly to relief efforts."
