Open auto shop customization - teaching kids to fabricate everything, but focusing on old cars and race cars, and focusing on a trade. A charity like this would make sure that if someone followed through on their project, while helping others on their own, would get the restored car full title and license once it's done. Too little is being made of having a trade, and personally, we've all gotten a little lazy from not having to make our own stuff - myself included.

The United State military troops on the ground. That must buy a few more sheets of armor, and no matter what anyone thinks about the Iraq debacle, we learned one thing from the 1960's - the people who protect us in the end no matter what the circumstances still deserve our deepest respect, and they don't deserve to die in any fools paradise for that respect. The blue collar guys doing the actual dying, don't usually have politics on their mind when the zing of a .223 round pops about two inches from their head.
