Default Here's a way to offer real help

I'd encourage everybody, especially anybody in the South, to offer
hospitality to the refugees here.

http://www.hurricanehousing.org/

Of course, some of you will be really PO'd that it's connected to a very
liberal political action group. So, don't send them money! If you
believe that politics don't really matter at a time like this, put up an
offer anyway. Another possibility is to find a conservative or
non-aligned group that is making the same connection. These guys are
easy to find, and I hope their attempts to match up housing offers to
refugees is working.

Regards
Doug King

Here's another, non-political.

I'm just not quite brave enough to throw that kind of info out there for
*anyone* from *anywhere* to use.

I'd prefer going through a church, or like, organization where I can be sure the
people I'm opening my home to have at least been interviewed by someone in that
area. Maybe I'm too paranoid, but I see nothing on either site that would
prevent a local MS13 gang member from showing up at your front door!
