A Presidential Triple Plea for Haiti Relief Fund

http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/01/16/a-presidential-triple-plea-for-haiti-relief-fund/

George Bush and Bill Clinton, on Saturday, began their endeavor to raise money for the Haitian relief effort, while President Obama carried on his efforts to encourage American reaction to the disastrous effects of the earthquake. The Bush, Clinton, and Obama launched their commencement of this endeavor at the Rose Garden. The unknown deaths caused by this terrible disaster gave the three men a common point to come together to convey the belief in the "American spirit of giving". Bush suggested, despite wanting to send water and blankets, Americans should just send cash. They all recognized the massive task to come as the number of people who are able to be rescued diminishes and and the full impact of the damage becomes more evident. Currently, American teams have only been able to rescue 15 people--half Haitian and half American. Mrs. Clinton flew to Haiti with relief supplies and word that we will offer unwavering support and sympathies.

What else can/should we do to offer our help and support to the Haitians?
