You have to make an effort. You can't just complain about it, you have to do something to help raise money ... and anything that we can do to help cure this is a good thing.

Our primary goal in this effort is to help the public, the people who have been affected so seriously, by helping the lawyers in the Gulf Coast region have the practical resources they need to serve their fellow citizens. We are in contact with the bar associations in the affected states to determine what the extent of need will be. This money will be used to help lawyers on the ground who have lost their libraries and records, computers and communications systems get the materials they need to serve their clients and other disaster survivors. It is our hope that the assistance fund will provide a ready vehicle for voluntary contributions by lawyers across Virginia to help the Gulf Coast public via the continuing services of our lawyer colleagues who are on the scene there. Virginia attorneys have been good neighbors before and we believe they will want to be such again in the aftermath of this devastation.

We can't help you unless you make an effort to help yourself.

The real effort is to conclude the ... program in hotels and to help them find permanent housing.

Our analysts have long considered these less-tangible factors in an effort to help investors determine which fund companies do the best job of safeguarding their interests.

Our goal is only to help them in their recovery effort, help them get their lives back, and yes it is political, because we should not have to do it. our tax dollars should be at work.
