Response to the Tragedy in Southeast Asia
In the days since the tragedy in Indonesia and surrounding regions, the generosity of the American people, as well as all citizens of the world, has been enormous. While no amount of generosity can make up for the massive tragedy of the loss of life, the Center for Traditional American Values encourages all Americans to give what they can to any of a number of relief organizations which are accepting donations to support their work in the area*.

The C4TAV also calls on the United States government to follow the example of its people and pledge more than the current $15 million to relief efforts. Even in its slightly slowed state, the US economy is one of the largest in the world and the United States should take the initiative and the lead in providing large-scale relief to those attempting to make sense of this tragedy.

The prayers and thoughts of the C4TAV staff are with those coping with loss and fear in the region.
