Hello! I thought I'd post the websites I'd located thus far that are set up to help match up families and survivors with those who want to take people in.

MoveOn's www.hurricanehousing.org
there is also www.craigslist.org
operation share your home: www.shareyourhome.org
and www.katrinahousing.org

This last one also has a couple message boards that allow people to post their info again, and alot of people agreeing to drive survivors to where you are, or help pay for gas etc.

Another idea: for those who live very far away from LA, some people are usng their miles to fly survivors out to live with them, like one family in No. CA.

I live in Kalamazoo MI. It is a 15 hour drive to Baton Rouge, 13 hours to MS. No aid agency other than hurricane housing has any idea of how I can bring a family with nowhere to go up to Kalamazoo. I have room. I am set up for kids and pets. We'll see to finding jobs, schools, churches, fod, clothes, get you on your feet if you are willing to relocate up north. But how do I find someone to save? Should I just hop in my car this minute and start driving south? Please, I need to do more than just donate some cash and some blood. Already done both, even ore depressed because it is such a small drop in the ocean.

I live in a medium sized city in an upper-midwest rust belt state. The city I live in is in bad shape. I recently moved here, and it's just depressing. Some ideas, like school vouchers, or faith based programs, don't sound so bad in this environment. What ideas to progressives/liberals have that will help?

As I see it, there are four main blocs that make up the great Republican Coalition: 1. Religious Conservatives 2: Libertarians 3: The wealthy and the corporations 4: national security hawks.

Obviously there are subgroupings, and there are people who fit into more than one of these. It is clear nonetheless that for the Democrats to regain power, they must pick off one of these blocs. But they must not do it in a coldly calculated way. Framing and suiing over votes is small potatoes. Democrats must seriously consider the IDEAS at stake in each of these blocs and decide which of these IDEAS can be combined honestly and passionately with liberal IDEAS at a root, fundamental level. Let's go through each one briefly, the pros and cons, and then please air your thoughts on which you would feel ideologically closest to, the lesser of four evils so to speak. Read More
