It's not just only humans helping in Operation Haiti relief anymore, but animals and some pretty huge ons at it. It's called "Jumbo Effort for Haiti".

In Thailand, three elephants are not just looking to collect peanuts from locals and tourist; but money to help the Caribbean island of Haiti. Two weeks ago Haiti was hit my a massive 7.0 earthquake, that destroyed the capital of Port-au-Prince.

This event or unusual idea was a Red Cross fundraiser. Thailand has already ready sent 20 tons of rice and pledged $120,000.

Cindy McCain is the newest "celebrity" to lend her face to the NOH8 campaign.
This campaign started back in 2008 after the state of California ban same sex marriage. McCain's daughter Meghan McCain posed for the campaign last summer and is extremely proud of her mother for taking this stance.
So, is there a divided McCain house? Yes,John McCain strongly opposes same sex marriage. However, in a statement released yesterday by his office: “Senator McCain respects the views of members of his family. The Senator strongly supported the effort to successfully pass Arizona Proposition 102, the Marriage Protection Amendment, and his opposition to gay marriage remains the same. Senator McCain believes the sanctity of marriage is only defined as between one man and one woman.”

Yesterday, Meghan tweeted:"I couldn't be more proud of my mother for posing for the NOH8 campaign,I think more Republicans need to start taking a stand for and civil rights in this country and set the example that this is not a partisan issue."

It is estimated that 1.5 million people in Haiti are now homeless. All they have are the close on their back, no food, water or medical supplies. They live on the streets, sleep on the grass and now fight with each other.

Current TV has raw footage of what is going on in Hiait right now. They need our help, please remember them.

Oprah.com is featuring President Bill Clinton's first hand account of his vist to Haiti this week. He is U.S Special Envoy to Haiti and has had Haiti on his mind for almost 40 years.

Clinton:"When I returned to Haiti earlier this week to deliver medical supplies, food and water, I could barely recognize the city of Port-au-Prince, a city I have visited and cherished for more than 35 years: buildings and homes leveled; people in the streets, hungry, homeless and hurt; emergency vehicles and workers rushing through the streets to bring aid to the dying; the presidential palace in ruins."

It was about 6:00 this morning, a 6.1 after shock hit Haiti causing panic as buildings shook and people ran to the streets screaming.

This is the largest after shock since the 7.0 earthquake that hit over a week ago yesterday. The U.S. Geologic Survey said the quake was centered about 35 miles (56 kilometers) northwest of Port-au-Prince and was 13.7 miles (22 kilometers) below the surface. It was too far inland to cause any Tsunami warning for the rest of the Caribbean.

Last week's magnitude-7 quake killed an estimated 200,000 people in Haiti; left 250,000 injured and made 1.5 million homeless. A massive international aid effort has been struggling with logistical problems, and many Haitians are still desperate for food and water.

Today, President Bill Clinton arrived in Haiti just days after his wife Sec. of State Hillary Clinton. Clinton has been helping Haiti for over 20 years, through his presidency and now through the Clinton Foundation and as of Saturday through the Clinton-Bush Fund.
Clinton toured the hospital and met with Haitian ministers talk about the destruction that recently took place and also about where the money needs to go. Clinton is hoping to figure out a way to rebuild the island and get the Haitian people back on their feet.

Haiti is especially close to the Clinton's as they honeymooned there in the 70's.

Are these photos really worth $100,000? It seems the tabloid magazine In-Touch Weekly thinks "the at home feeling with The Palins" are worth it.The Ex-Governor and her daughter pocketed an eye popping 100K for their " We choose Life" cover and exclusive photos of the two mothers and the rest of the gang.

It seems that Palin's choice to quit politics, was a good one. On an average year as Governor, she made $125,000 but for just eight hours in her home for some photos, she got $100,000. Plus she earns about 100,000 per every public-speaking event and she just added the multi year deal with the fair and balance team FOX News.

You know Palin, since you're making all this money, maybe you should take that 100K from the magazine, (the one you don't want to comment on) and give it to Haiti. Just a thought.


God Bless!
