Donate Life Florida

Today is a great day in the state of Florida for organ donation!

Prior to today if a person went to the DMV they could choose whether or not to become organ donors at that time by saying so on there license. The only problem with this is if the person who passed away didn't have there wishes documented somewhere other than just on there id a family member could make the final decision and NOT donate.

So today thanks to the Joshua Abbott Organ and Tissue Donor Registry Floridians can now join the state donor registry through the Donate Life Florida website, when renewing their driver license online, or when obtaining/renewing their license at a local driver license office. The best part is once your name is added to the registry your family can not veto your right to be an organ donor! You can also join the Registry by calling Donate Life Florida directly at 1-877-35-SHARE (1-877-357-4273) and requesting a registry form.

I encourage any and everyone to take a look at the website and get signed up if you live in Florida. One person can have the chance to save up to eight lives and that truly is an amazing thing.




P.S. The over 5 MILLION driver's license holders in Florida who have already said they want to be donors have been added to the list today!

AIG

Less than a week after the $85 million government bail-out, American International Group Inc spent over $440,000 on a conference at a California resort.

The bill from the St. Regis resort in Monarch Beach included:

• $147,302 for banquets
• $139,375 on rooms
• $23,380 for spa services
• $6,939 for golf
• $5,016 at the Stonehill Tavern
• $3,065 for in-room dining and the lobby lounge
• $2,949 for gratuities
• $1,901 at the Monarch Bayclub
• and $1,488 at the resort’s Vogue Salon

It's just really sad that while average Americans are losing there jobs and homes company executives at AIG are getting a week long "conference" at one of the most exclusive resorts in the nation payed for with taxpayer money. REAL NICE!!
