Some Hope in Disaster

No doubt you're following the disastrous effects of Hurricane Katrina at all the major blogs, but if you haven't read about this already, bloggers are readying to coordinate a Blog for Relief Day fundraiser tomorrow, Sept. 1, for victims of the hurricane.

Along with N.Z. Bear at The Truth Laid Bear, Glenn Reynolds and Michelle Malkin have already put together some great lists of aid organizations if you'd like to join in the effort. Be sure to make their blogs a mainstay tomorrow in order to follow the campaign, and it looks like La Shawn Barber will be staying on top of it as well. She's linking today to some of the smaller blogs that are covering this tragedy, so you'll likely be able to weave between both the big- and small-timers to find your preferred charity.

Folks, blogs obviously have provided an invaluable service to the country the past few years, especially when it has come to connecting Americans and communicating the truth around election time. In short, they've made an impact and a difference. But I can't think of a more important service they could provide at the moment than helping to raise as much money as possible to support the victims of Katrina and, quite literally, help to get these people back on their feet.

Please do what you can to help.
