As Tx4Obama said, people can walk and chew gum at the same time. Nothing wrong with calling and trying to help, why shut it down? Would you rather no calls are made and then have some stupid shit go down? Might as well try to help, that's all Tx4Obama was trying to do. And it's true, that aid organizations would rather people donate money and they can spend it as needed. Heard a lot about that during Hurricane Sandy.

I don't understand being against that.
