74. The RAINBOW PEOPLE are doing things too!

Not to diminished the efforts by Occupy, I want to shout out to the RAINBOW people for this. https://www.wepay.com/donations/279990407

They were down helping with Katrina as well. They have huge kitchens that are protable for the Gatherings so they are putting them to use to help people in the region hardest hit. One of the broadcasters on KVMR.org was on today. And he is taking time off to help with this. He is a chef in the rainbow gathering Kitchen and told the story of how they are feeding hundreds of people every day.

So if you can donate. Thede guys re on the street, in many communities and the more $ the better everyone will be and the more people will be fed.
