Grassroots chipin for Cal. fire victims?

[Sematary]

What do you guys think? Would starting a chipin to raise money for the California fire victims (in the name of Ron Paul) be something that could do some good? We'd have to raise ALOT of money but I think if we get enough and donate it in the name of the campaign, we could show the kind of America that Ron Paul wants to promote.

Nah, let's separate politics & human tragedy while it's occurring.... Let's not politicize this. When people are in this situation it's EVERYTHING BUT political. That's the last thing on their minds... let's not try to take advantage of a bad situation.

he is right. in politics you don't capitalize off of personal tragedy. with an exception of giuliani, it usually backfires.
