Money-saving tips for the holidays | 2010-11-29
With some early holiday planning, you can save money and ease your seasonal stress.

On Friday, you bought your iPad. Today, feed the poor



CARE -- It's Cyber Monday -- give the gift that gives back.
Your son wants an iPad. Your daughter wants new Uggs

Anisa wants to be able to go to school and learn to earn her way out of poverty.

You can do something for all of them when you make a gift to CARE this holiday season.

Make a gift in honor of your son or daughter, mom or dad, aunt or uncle. They’ll get a cool e-card — and students like Anisa will get the help they need to pay school fees in Afghanistan and around the world. You’ll get the satisfaction of doing good, plus a tax deduction. (And you also can get your kids the iPad and the Uggs!)

Get started now.

Sincerely,

$49 can send a girl like Hadia to school for a year so she can learn and chart her way out of poverty... $62 can train a community health worker like Elida to provide lifesaving care to pregnant mothers... $125 can help 10 families like Scherlande's receive emergency kits following a natural disaster.

mashup Monday &some News …


As the lame duck session begins today the things that stand out most for me is the hypocrisy the overt nonsense and the lies offered up by the Republican Tea Party for the last twenty months. Unfortunately, the lies continue even after the Midterm elections with the sole goal to ruin President Obama by using Americans as their pawns and throwing us all under the bus.

The Party of No will keep stalling, blocking and saying No to the START treaty, the Disclose Act, unemployment, the Dream Act, Food Safety and other legislation but want and have been threatening progress unless and until the Republican Tea Party is given the Bush giveaways for the rich. The lies that the Republicans were able to sell and get some left of center to buy is about to unravel and the truth finally know by hopefully all Americans.

The notion that the top 2% is the group that creates and or hires the middle class let alone the idea that should be the reason to make sure the Bush giveaways are permanent is just a joke. If this is true, we should all ask where are the jobs that should have saved us all before the first 750 thousand suddenly lost their jobs even before President Obama was really in office. I do not understand how anyone believes that lie.
