Blue Action Wants YOU to Click Now

It's not possible to know how much attention readers pay to our sidebar and its various features. Being as how it's that holiday shopping season, I wanted to point out a few of the buttons on the Blue Action bar that I've put there specifically to make your holiday shopping easier. One is, of course Buy Blue, which will help you make sure your hard-earned dollars are not going to help those whose principles and actions we do not support. The rest are charitable organizations that help people, and especially children, around the world. Giving to one of the groups in the name of people on gift lists has become my favorite way to honor them. Toys are broken and forgotten soon, booze is drunk, earrings are lost, but knowing that you have helped a hungry child lasts on through the year.

Check out the buttons for these organizations: CareUSA, Children's Law Center, The Heifer Project, Oxfam America, and Save the Children. Give for and to those you love and to those who need your gift the most. Give for yourself, if you've completed your gift list, although there is always those last few people who have everything and who never like anything anyway. Whether they like this or not, those who benefit from it will be grateful.
