KIVA

For those of you that want to help out people help themselves, this is a pretty good avenue to do so. http://www.kiva.org/ is a website that works with and screens Microfinance institutions around the world. They partner with these institutions to funnel micro-loans from people from around the world. You essentially go onto the website and can choose who you would like to loan to. As the parties you loan to repay the money you lent them, you can loan out that money to someone else or withdraw it.

Senate Needs to Stop the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, H.R. 1

Creating a stimulus package that has a mix of infrastructure spending, spending towards renewable energy and tax cuts towards the majority of America is what we were promised; the bill that came out of the House is a travesty and needs to be stopped.

While the bill has some good in it, the Democrats are packing it with an unbelieveable amount of pork. This is exactly the reason I firmly believe in the line-item veto. Any pork project that Congress believes in could be implemented by a two-thirds vote, but the majority of this waste could be avoided. This kind of spending has been a problem with both parties and needs to be stopped.

If Obama wants to be considered as bi-partisan and a uniter, he needs to re-evaluate this bill.

Pretty cool ...
