This Christmas, Give The Gift of Safe Water!!

The crisis is real. It steals the lives of 5,500 people each day- more than war, natural disasters, AIDS or even hunger.It is a worldwide crisis, and it stems from a lack of safe water, proper sanitation and hope found only through the message of the true “Living Water.”

There's an organization that wants to bring not only "Living Water", but also clean water.

Watermissions.org is trying to do something big this Christmas.  Really big. It's partnering with people across the globe to save lives.  And you can help.

For just $10, you can give a suffering person clean water!

I am partnering with Water Missions, International in asking you to give the gift of water this Christmas.

Do it!

Go here, to find out how!

 

Guess Whose Failed Policies Really Led to the Economic Collapse?

Not the Republicans.

Filmmaker Charles Ferguson has made a movie called Inside Job, where he reveals that President Barack Obama's outgoing National Economic Director Lawrence Summers convinced Bill Clinton to create the conditions leading up to the economic collapse.  Said Ferguson:

"Clinton's economic team, led by Robert Rubin and Larry Summers, helped repeal the Glass-Steagall Act. That led to the banning of the regulation of derivatives. Plus, the dotcom bubble was going on under their noses and they did nothing about it. Same with Enron. They were lucky that Enron blew up a year after they left office.   I think part of the reason is that Larry Summers and Laura Tyson and these respectable academics were telling him that it was fine. Nobody important or powerful or academically credible was holding up their hand and saying, "There's going to be a problem here."

Following the recent ouster of the head of GM, the White House just announced the firing of Ronald McDonald.  Said President Obama, "We just had to get that clown out of there."

Faith Based Gets a Boost

President Obama signs an executive order expanding faith based initiatives.  He said, "The goal of this office will not be to favor one religious group over another -- or even religious groups over secular groups," Obama said. "It will simply be to work on behalf of those organizations that want to work on behalf of our communities, and to do so without blurring the line that our founders wisely drew between church and state."
