also, Juan Sepulveda, Texas State Director for Obama for America sends this message:
Dear Texan for Obama --
Help victims of Hurricane Ike Over the last few days, the victims of Hurricane Ike have seen an outpouring of sympathy and support -- and many of you are asking what you can do to help.
Here in Texas, much of the Gulf region was devastated by the storm. Many Texans are returning to homes that have been severely damaged, and more expect to be displaced and without power for several days to come.
But there is something you can do right now to lend a hand to fellow Texans.
Your financial support can strengthen organizations like the American Red Cross that help give shelter to families who have lost their homes and help communities get back on their feet.
Make a donation now to support the American Red Cross today.
Together, I am confident that we can help rebuild the communities affected by Hurricane Ike -- but we need your help.
Right now, you can make a huge impact in the lives of those affected by the storm by donating whatever you can afford -- even $10 -- to make sure the American Red Cross has the resources to help those in need:

Texans like you are already getting involved in the clean up and aid efforts underway across the Gulf area. If you would also like to be a part of those efforts, you can sign up to help an affected area near you:

Volunteers are also meeting at the following location to take part in recovery efforts:
George R Brown Convention Center - Hall A
1001 Avenida de las Americas
Houston, Texas 77010
Thank you for your generosity, and for standing with your fellow Texans in their time of need.
