		<description>Want to donate to charity, but don&#039;t have the money to?

As a student, I always wanted to donate to charity, but I never had enough money. Now, with all of these global problems like the economic crisis occuring, it&#039;s even harder.

I made the solution, which is you just complete 1 survey, and with the money you make from that, I will &lt;STRONG&gt;donate it all&lt;/STRONG&gt; to UNICEF. Please just do &lt;STRONG&gt;ONE GREAT THING&lt;/STRONG&gt;, and &lt;STRONG&gt;DONATE FOR FREE!&lt;/STRONG&gt;

Your &lt;STRONG&gt;ONE SECOND SAVES ONE LIFE!&lt;/STRONG&gt;

		<description>What I stated applies to federal, state, county and local elections. Under your assumption, I would tend to agree and also think it might not be such a bad idea to have little or no federal government. </description>

		<description>Anyone see this article at USAToday? It&#039;s VERY interesting. 
 
&#8226;Chevrolet Cobalt, 2005 to 2009: Power steering could fail in as many as 905,000 vehicles, leaving them with steering that needs a lot more effort to operate. 
 
NHTSA says it opened a preliminary evaluation, the lowest-level probe in its three-step process, which can end with a recall, because of 1,132 complaints, including 11 accidents and one injury. 
 
By contrast, Toyota based its Jan. 21 recall of 2.3 million cars and trucks for sticking throttles on a handful of reports of gas pedals that didn&#039;t return to idle promptly when drivers let off the gas. 
 
NHTSA says the complaints involve Cobalts with electric power steering. The feature is becoming common as a fuel-economy tactic. It takes less engine power &#8212; thus less fuel &#8212; to generate current for electric steering than to run a pump for conventional hydraulic power steering. 
 
GM spokesman Alan Adler says the automaker is cooperating with the government. He emphasized that a preliminary evaluation is only a first step in the process, and most preliminary evaluations by NHTSA don&#039;t wind up as recalls.
