Peace and Blessings to all. I have a concern: My heart and prayers go out to those in Haiti although they are not considered to be a part of the US they are our brothers and sisters. Thought! How is it that we are advertising nationally and in other ways to raise monies for Haiti when we have brothers and sisters (members of our families) who have lost their jobs, cars and homes and are near homeless but we are not advertising for them. I am willing to go out on a limb and begin to advertise for those within our communities who are in need to see how we will come to the rescue. Is there anyone who is willing to go at this with me?

Good point. You should mention this on a blog to get better feedback ... I doubt people would be looking for this type of dialog under the Amtrak news listing. :)
