As we all realize the political impact of the terrible events yesterday in Newtown, CT, let’s not forget the suffering that’s being endured at this very moment by that community. They will feel this today, tomorrow, on Christmas, and for years to come. So let’s help them. Here are a few easy ways to donate to their community. I’ve donated. Can you spare a little?
