Americans are used to watching telethons for desperate and needy people around the globe.

Christina Aguilera, Jon Bon Jovi, Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen and Sting headline the event. “Hurricane Sandy: Coming Together" airs from 8-9 p.m. on NBCUniversal networks.
The Huffington Post reports that money raised will go to the Red Cross to help surivors with the baiscs – medical care, shelter, food.
The live telethon will be hosted by NBC “Today” anchor Matt Lauer, and broadcast from the NBC studio at 30 Rockefeller Plaza.
The following channels will air the show: NBC, Bravo, CNBC, E!, G4, MSNBC, Style, Syfy and USA, or watch the livestream on NBC.com.

http://videocafe.crooksandliars.com/heather/mitt-romney-tells-ohio-students-borrow-mon I assume most south Jersey seniors do not have living parents. Does Mitt want those seniors who lost their homes by Sandy to borrow from their grandparents instead? Mitty is so clueless.
At Christmastime, I go out of my way to give to the Salvation Army kettle, in place, at The Ocean County Mall (when I'm in "Joisey," that is). Currently, I'm in St. Petersburg, Florida, though. The Red Cross is great, too! I seriously question the motives of our entertainment communty. Bruce Springsteen, the most. I think he is a fake, phony and a fraud. To him, "charity" begins at home, with his bank account. He's a "Limousine Liberal."
IT DOESN'T MATTER who/what/when/where/why - ALLLLLLL that matters is, this 1 hour will bring MORE HELP TO THOSE WHO ARE IN NEED, than if this hour didn't happen at all! PERIOD!!!! Why does a good effort always turn into a debate....and/or pessimism?!?! Super sad, that "you" are residents of this GREAT STATE OF NJ! ~ Jersey Strong!

the best. Once I move back in, i'm going to St Rose to do my shopping. Okay, I'm only kidding. The only people I saw were loads of people from FEMA and SBA polishing chairs, at HD and city hall, with their butts.
