Beware Charities Scamming for Political funds

Michelle Malkin linked to this interesting post by Geoffrey at Beyond Wallacia (hit the title of this post to link in directly). When checking out charities to help with the efforts in Asia post-Tsunami, be very careful. Research the charities you may be willing to donate to and also, be sure not to be suckered in to various direct marketing charities that may use your credit information for nefarious purposes. While we probably all already know these things, I think it bears repeating as we review the desparate images coming out of Asia these last few days. Happy New Year!
