BlueBeat.com Issues a Call for Humanitarian Aid as Tsunami Toll Continues to Rise SANTA CRUZ, Calif., Dec. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Responding to the enormous tragedy caused by the tsunami in the Indian Ocean, BlueBeat.com calls upon the United States government, citizens of the United States, and the international community to come together in providing assistance to those affected by the horrific disaster that occurred this week in Asia. The death toll has quickly climbed past 100,000 and experts believe that disease will likely double that count. This number, coupled with massive infrastructure damage to the countries, makes it clear that now is the time for the world to unite in goodwill and provide any solace possible. The internet radio site urges its listener base as well as all people of the world to contribute to the charity organizations that reach the survivors with much-needed assistance and support. BlueBeat.com makes an impassioned plea to the Bush administration to provide the needed assistance to those countries that are still reeling from this global tragedy. Hank Risan, BlueBeat.com's CEO, implores President Bush to uphold his duties as the leader of the free world. "If you truly are the compassionate Commander-In-Chief you have declared yourself to be," he challenges, "show the world that America will do the right thing. Prove that we are indeed a country that can be relied upon in times of crisis." Links to international aid organizations are available on the BlueBeat.com homepage. BlueBeat.com asks that everyone help contribute to these noble associations which include Unicef, Red Cross/Red Crescent, The World Health Organization, Doctors Without Borders, Plan USA, and Save the Children. These coalitions are instrumental in saving lives, providing relief and basic healthcare, controlling the spread of infectious diseases, and rebuilding the nations that were devastated by the earthquake and subsequent tsunami. Southeast Asia is in the midst of one of the greatest natural disasters in history and it needs the support of the global community to combat the perils stemming from such a catastrophe. Visit BlueBeat.com and contribute to the relief effort. BlueBeat.com has dedicated a music playlist, "Strength of Human Spirit" to the courageous survivors, as well as to the determined and brave relief workers, without whom our donations would be far less effective. Like individuals in the strength of a group, even small donations make a powerful impact when united in purpose.
