The "duty" of America often trickles down to the "duty" of Americans.

There wouldn't be this volume of solicitations for donations from GLOs, general service organizations, colleges and universities, churches, barber shops, and so forth if the White House had not made an early statement of American government/government affiliates support. Then they said "if you lazy, spoiled rotten Americans wanna do something, check out whitehouse.gov for a list of charities." The media picked that up, started listing charities on various websites, and thus began the battle of the charities. Then radio cult leaders like Michael Baisden (I like him but he and others have way too much influence both good and bad--it's like some of his listeners were mindless drones before he existed) wouldn't shut up about it--having American-Haitians record pleas for help and stuff. LOL.
