-- [Chuck] America sends 8 million dollars worth of aid to Israel every day, but what would happen if we diverted that money for just one day? This petition asks the President to give one day's worth of Israel's aid to help Hurricane Sandy victims instead.

-- In Charlotte, NC, the KKK and the National Socialist Movement (aka neo-Nazi's-- I am NOT that kind of socialist. EW.) joined together to have an anti-immigration rally. Protesters came from miles around to remind the groups that their hatred was unwanted, with the protesters outnumbering the hate group five to one. Many of the protesters dressed as clowns, making a point that even though they were dressed as silly clowns, it was the hate-mongers who looked funny.
