Surely you jest! (Americans are NOT stingy)
Last year alone Americans donated more than imaginable for relief efforts all around the US and the world. I work at a post office where people ship donated items to Mongolia and the Netherlands, and ofcourse to servicemen and women everywhere, out of simple compassion. I wouldn't even hesitate to give up of my own abundance for my fellow Americans to make it through the week with hope. Love is all around US!

My wife and I are up in years and live on a very tight fixed income. We discussed the Katrina tragedy and decides to make a contribution to the Salvation Army. We did this yesterday.

A question then came to me: How much could raised if every family in the US contributed $ 20.00 each.

If anyone with more insight in this could give an answer, please put the answer on this blog. Thank you.
