Donate to Hawaii Earthquake Relief Fund
President Obama declared yesterday that Hawaii, our 57th state, is undergoing a "special healthcare emergency" due to a heretofore unknown "earthquake."
President Obama has asked former Presidents Nixon and Johnson to head fundraising efforts but has received no response yet.
When asked why nobody had heard about this earthquake, the President responded that Americans don't care about the process of how an earthquake happens. They just need to listen to him on what to do now.
Within moments of the news made by Obama, private individuals such as myself are gathering together and urging our fellow Americans to donate responsibly to survivors of this under reported yet horrific disaster in Hawaii.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with Hawaiian families impacted by the destructive Hawaiian earthquake that nobody even knew about," said Matt Archbold, President of the Hawaiian Earthquake Relief Fund. "I urge Americans to help the poor people of Hawaii desperately in need our assistance during their darkest hour even though they didn't even know they'd been suffering."
The Hawaii Earthquake Recovery Fund was initiated just moments after President Barack Obama notified the world of the terrible earthquake in Hawaii. If we raise enough money, Patrick & I will be flying with our families to assist with disaster relief.
If President Obama is willing to put forth millions of our dollars toward helping Hawaiian survivors then we should at least be willing to put your dollars and our efforts to assist with the unmet and long-term recovery needs of survivors.
Below you can see some of the carnage of the earthquake. Hundreds if not thousands of people just laying on the shores of Hawaii, seemingly unable to move. Many lay there all day.
You can help them by giving NOW to the Hawaii Earthquake Relief Fund.
Below is a young Hawaiian who doesn't look like she's eaten in weeks. But the brave thing is still keeping a smile on her face probably because she knows that Obama cares.
Please join with President Obama who's already giving millions of your dollars away and please give more away on your own. Remember, agreeing with Obama, it's the only way show how much you care.

These people have been laying on beaches for well over decades and Bush did nothing.
laughing my ass off
Sherry, the Democratic Mayor and Governor hold more fault than Bush. Not to mention the idiots who decided to stay in a city that is below sea level. The progressive mind is a dangerous thing.
Matt, that picture of the woman is a bit immodest, no?
Yeah, what's with the soft porn on your site?
Oh.My.Gosh. Way too funny.
Brent - the girl is wearing the few scant threads of clothing she could salvage from the wreckage. Don't disparage Matthew in her time of need.
Umm...yeah that picture is completely inappropriate. We would get the point without the porn.
You may want to consider the varying sensibilities of your readers - specially when it comes to religious habits.
Guys,
Its a girl in a bikini. Chill.
Dude, you site is visited from every corner of the world. While we're immune in the US, folks back in a Modestia get aroused by cheer leading outfits. And that reminds me to buy some strawberry flavored jelly to share with my wife tonight.
Yeah, Matt, so now you're überfamous, and you think you can get away with posting excerpts from the swimsuit edition. Hah! Fat chance.
Does she have a sister?
This is insane! Obama needs to air lift bottled water to those poor refugees sweltering in the hot sun on that beach.
Let's just say I LIVE IN HI and I've seen some interesting things at the beach. Ahem. OH, and that money would be nice so I can actually have a holiday while here. :)
You people are bizarre:

It's the first hit on Google.
From the Bush White House, 2006:
Statement on Federal Disaster Assistance for Hawaii
The President today declared a major disaster exists in the State of Hawaii and ordered Federal aid to supplement State and local recovery efforts in the area struck by an earthquake that occurred on October 15, 2006, and related aftershocks.
The pictures are completely inappropriate.
I have to agree, that picture -while not "soft porn" as someone said - is completely inappropriate. "It's just a woman in a bikini. Chill." is a bad example to set for brothers in Christ who do think seeing a half-naked woman on a Catholic website is a big deal. Not to mention all of the women who read your website, and whose opinions may not matter much, but who might be offended. Just because this misguided woman makes herself a sex object is no reason to encourage others to make her one as well by circulating that photo.
Hey, kids, I'll just bet Matthew is kicking himself right now, after reading this subject being beaten into the ground like a dead horse that just begs for more. (I know a horse can't beg, especially if it's dead, but you get the idea.)
There is a risk with any sort of entertainment, a risk that comes with pushing the envelope, because if he didn't, most of you would never have heard of him, much less be reading this. You'll notice I didn't say I'm okay with it. What I AM saying, it that it's possible, just possible, that after over a dozen comments about a woman's swimwear, our author gets it, and the rest of you can quit fueling your outrage by continuing to stare at it. Be at peace with the knowledge that you have made the world a better place for your children. Or something.
I think if Obama had a teleprompter at the interview - he may have had a chance of a mistake free exchange ......
In 2006, Bush declared a major disaster area in Hawaii after an earthquake struck there, ordering in federal recovery aid. The 'Louisiana Purchase' was added by Landrieu at the request of Bobby Jindal, a Republican. Obama is rolling his eyes and tolerating it because he wants to get reform passed.
Soft Porn, "Oh please..."
Porn industry is fueled by God believers sitting behind their computers. This is just a pic of a gal on the PUBLIC beach.... most likely in the U.S.A. where the biggest collection of God fearing freaks live.
A lot of Priests, Nuns, Religious and devout read CMR and their moral compass sensitivity is set to high, where it should be. I have no problem with their reaction. At least they are in possession of said compass, when today in America it is considered a high crime to have one.
Wow! Blowback for showing women in bikinis.
Hoodathunkit?
Here's a pic you can use, if you like:

I guess it's a pointless exercise to mention that the special deals, such as the so-called "Louisiana Purchase" and the "Corhusker Kickback", would be stripped out of the reconciliation bill.
Well, you also don't know where the blow-back is coming from, some of it is the ever vigilant "gotcha" crowd. They have no morals and are ever watchful to try and ensnare those who do in their false umbrage and cries of "hypocrisy"
If your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. Don't cut off Matthew's hand. That's his to cut off if it causes him to sin, not yours.
That's hilarious! Thank you, Matt!
This is Miss James, your forgotten 8th grade English teacher, who swore you would not move on to high school if you didn't know your grammar backwards and forwards.
They "lie" on the beach.
They are "lying" on the beach.
Otherwise, you are treating them as objects to "lay" down.
Forget the bikini; get the grammar right! :-)
My eighth grade teacher was an Irish nun who was meaner than you'll ever be. That said, I wish I could find a web page that mentioned the most common grammatical errors.
Not that this one has been a problem for me personally.
