FREE PALESTINE If you want to do a bit of good and help out some kids heading back into the social-snakepit known as public school:

We stumbled upon a father looking for shoes, backpack and some pants for his teen son. We're pretty broke, but we managed to scrape together several pairs of pants, shirts, a backpack, and we found a great pair of sneakers for $20 and picked those up for them.

Would you support a group of friends and neighbors polling their money into a single donation, and using it to negotiate with a politician to change their agenda?
