EVERYONE in the U.S. who gives money to charity, should begin to rethink where their dollars go and channel any money designated to foreign interests into local charities and volunteer their TIME.
If you have quit donating money, donate your time and efforts in a local group that helps disadvantaged and elderly with housing maintenance etc. Mow a neighbors lawn if need be... vacant lot clean ups, etc. etc. etc.
this would go a long way to begin turning things around...
