Today, the thoughts and prayers of all Americans are with those in the path of Hurricane Gustav -- and many of you are asking what you can do to help.
We do not yet know what the impact of Hurricane Gustav will be, and we hope with all our hearts that the damage will not be as great as it was three years ago.
But we know there will be damage, and there is something you can do right now.
Your financial support will strengthen organizations like the American Red Cross that are evacuating Gulf Coast residents and planning to help communities get back on their feet.
Make a donation to support the American Red Cross today.
At times like this, it is our compassion and resilience that define who we are as a nation.
Please give whatever you can afford, even $10, to make sure the American Red Cross has the resources to help those in the path of this storm:

Thank you for your generosity, and I hope you will join Michelle and me in praying for the safety of those in the path of the storm and the first responders who are doing all they can to ensure the safety of their communities.

I too made a donation.
Please people, fellow RRMB members, do this not just because it's the right thing to do, but also, let's face it, because there's a competition going on right now about which campaign will end up doing the most to support victims of Gustav ... the media WILL report Obama's total dollar amount raised, and if impressive, it could help him win the election.
Sorry to be so crass, but that's the reality. If the total dollar amount is really low, THAT will get reported, and repeated, and repeated, and THAT would be really bad for our side.
So ... GIVE, GIVE, GIVE!
Out of a sense of responsibility, not just to the victims, but also to Obama and the need to get rid of the neoconservative stranglehold on our country.
Don't forget to give blood also. I just did on Thur.
I got a text message from the Obama campaign - different channel - same thought.
It said: Barack asks that you give to the Red Cross: give 5 dollars by texting GIVE to 24357 or give more by calling 1-800-435-7669 or at redcross.org/donate.
I hope it was legit, because I did.
