Isn't It Time You Started Giving Back

One of my New Year's resolutions was to give more to charity in 2009 than I did in 2008. One of the ways I am going to do this is through a new blog I have started called Charity of the Day. I encourage you to check it out. The first charity that I featured is the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research. This charity is very close to my heart. My grandfather battled the disease for years before he was taken away from us. I plan on featuring a different charity as often as I can. Times are tough right now. People are hurting, and for those of us who are strong mentally, physically and financially, we need to help those in need as best we can.

I want to challenge you to make 2009 your best year ever. If you have a charity that you're trying to bring more awareness to, visit Charity of the Day, and let me hear about it.

Until later, make it a great day!

Support Our Troops - Give To The USO

I don't care if you're a Democrat, Republican, Independent, Libertarian, member of the Green Party or any other political affiliation, there's no denying the fact that our young men and women who are in Iraq, Kuwait, Afghanistan and other places around the world need our support.

They are there, and we are here. We have the freedom to speak out against the war. We have the freedom to speak out for the war. We have the freedom to do and say anything we want in this great country BECAUSE of the sacrifice that these men and women have made and are making for us.

That is why I support the USO, and I hope you will as well. Contrary to what you may think, the USO is not a government organization. They rely on you and me to support them. And, according to their website, 89 cents of every $1.00 goes directly to supporting our G.I.'s. That's impressive. If you're not familiar with the USO, visit their website and read more about them. They're the ones who brought performers such as Bob Hope, Kid Rock and Robin Williams overseas to entertain the troops. They supply the troops with pre-paid phone cards, care packages and support for the families who are left behind while their loved ones are overseas.

If you'd like to join me in supporting the USO, visit their website and click on the GIVE NOW button. You can give as little or as much as you like. Every little bit helps.

Thanks and make it a great day!
