Someone asked at lunch today "why is the Dominican Republic doing so much better than Haiti when they're geographically similar."

I have no idea if he had seen this illogical and asinine comment from Pat Robertson, but it sounds very much like what Robertson said.

Dictatorship + civil war + UN economic sanctions + more dictatorship and more civil wars. Geography has nothing to do with it. And as for the earthquake, it's geology not a pact with the devil.

Clearly I am too feeding the buzz that gets Robertson ratings and makes the networks put him on air.

So how about we turn this around.
Make a donation to any foundation, or to my foundation of choice, the Clinton Foundation fund for Haiti, every time you watch the Pat Robertson Haiti video: https://re.clintonfoundation.org/SSLPage.aspx?pid=3869

You can also Text “HAITI” to "20222" and $10 will be given to the Clinton Foundation's Haiti Relief Fund, charged to your cell phone bill.

One of two good things will come out of this:
1. We'll get lots of donations or
2. People will stop watching Robertson

Let's do some good!
