Welcome to the club.  Our motto is "Vote early, vote often!"  <bg>

That set of sites has been around for a while.  I became aware of The 
Hunger Site in 1998 and have been visiting it and its descendents 
ever since.  Now there are six of them, and clicking them every 
morning is part of my routine.  They recently added a veterans site, 
which I appreciate as a veteran.

They are good causes, sometimes have interesting vignettes, and it's 
worth my time to go there every day and support them.
