Geraldo Rivera and Shepard Smith of FOX News respond to
Hurricane Katrina in a journalistic and humane fashion that cannot be

As of today, according to FOX News, the Red Cross has collected
196 Million for disaster relief. Tonight in Lenape my colleagues and I will be
collecting money to donate to the Red Cross.
I can't do much, but I believe every effort matters.

Keep your eyes and minds wide open to the media and you may feel the things that make
indifference and helplessness pale.
