Other Suggestions Haiti

Thursday, January 14th, 2010

I’m taking off for the wee­kend, mee­ting family somewhere south of here, maybe Puerto Rico. My father an archi­tect and engi­neer, as some of you know, will be hea­ding to Haiti within the next three weeks — not during the current situa­tion but in a dif­fe­rent stage — we’re having a bit of a family get together.


In the mean­time, if you have nothing to think about and want to do something for Haiti, but don’t have money — or even if you have given, check out the follo­wing infor­ma­tion offe­red up by sites from Wron­ging Rights and to Amnesty Inter­na­tio­nal to Change dot org. The sug­ges­tion is to con­tact the White House and tell them that you sup­port gran­ting Hai­tians Tem­po­rary Pro­tec­ted Sta­tus (TPS) immediately.

TPS is a tem­po­rary immi­gra­tion sta­tus, las­ting from 6 to 18 months and does not lead to per­ma­nent resi­dency in the U.S., this step will only give Hai­tians the oppor­tu­nity to remain safely in the U.S. until the situa­tion on the ground in Haiti impro­ves and they can return home.

The Wron­ging Rights sites explains it well enough, so please click on that link to check out what to do.

Not to be out­done those crazy old scien­tist have pushed back the dooms­day clock by a minute, so it’s all good.
