No. Donate money to private organizations if you feel so strongly about helping these people.

No more international welfare, bailouts, nation building OR relief efforts.

I guess Haiti is one of the 57 states Obama visited. ;)

Operation USA is a NGO that is helping out.

Hillary just mentioned that the Us will be sending food, military and humanitarian aid.

There are far too many other things to bitch about for me to get fired up about that.

Not meaning to sound cold but we have our own problems here and we don't really have the money to help!!!! let some other Country help for a while. We have homeless here and they are growing by the minute. We need to feed our people and get our homeless off the streets before we help else where. Heck we still have people from Katrina having a hard time and still living in FEMA trailers. This is one of the reason why we are broke because everybody expect the good Ole USA to help. Well, we are out of money!!!!

God Bless them but our wallets are empty.

You're saying the right things for the wrong reasons. It's not that we shouldn't use the power of the state to redistribute wealth BECAUSE we're broke...... it's that the whole principle is corrupt.

I say we print them up some federal reseve notes so they have something to burn for fire. Heck, why not?

Most of those people never get our money, with 1/3 of your $ in typical UN relief operations wasted in inefficient and corrupt bureaucracy.

They say charity begins at home. Well, so does corruption.

Help fight here, help us clean up LA first, together. We can win here, and are turning the tide, which in turn can be used in your backyard as an game-changing weapon - a Victory, a Win!

Aren't those sort of implied?
