Martin Luther King, Jr. once said, “The time is always right to do what is right.” Today, as we celebrate a man who devoted his life’s work to causes that encouraged us to do what is right, I can’t think of a better time to honor his words.
As you know, a massive earthquake struck the nation of Haiti, causing catastrophic damage inside and around the capital city of Port-au-Prince. The United Nations has estimated that three million people have been affected, and more than 300,000 left homeless. While relief efforts have begun, the call for help is still ringing.
For the next 48 hours, my campaign will not solicit any funds for the campaign. Instead we ask that any monetary contribution you or your loved ones were planning to donate, to please give in support of those who need our help in Haiti. It is a call to action, a call that resonates closely with the values and convictions we all share.
Our office has a listing of various organizations already mobilized on the ground, and if you have any questions as to how or where to make your donation to Haiti, my campaign office stands ready to help.
Thanks,
Bill
