5. I don't give money to any of the big organizations ever since Haiti and Katrina when

it seems the millions upon millions people gave were taken over for control by people like the Bush/Clintons and not much was done for the actual victims. Plus, where is the accounting of where all that money went? I wanted to directly help the victims. If I knew that Bush or any of his ilk would ever get anywhere near those funds, (remember Babs' clever way of 'helping' except she was helping her other moronic offspring, Neil, to sell his ridiculous 'education' program' to the victims of Katrina?)

So now if I see a homeless person, and I saw far too many of them in Ventura when I was there, I give them money I might have previously given to some big charity if I could afford it. If they buy a beer with it, well has anyone asked what the Bushes did with the Katrina and Haiti money they got their hands on?

I WOULD like to be able to contribute to some organization that actually uses the money for those it is intended for.

This does seem like a good interim idea to encourage those who won't give directly to the homeless, to help if they can.
