Description: NSAL America is the largest hands on humane organization in the world. We rescue and give medical care to over 20,000 orphaned animals each year, animals that would otherwise be put to sleep; our emergency response teams are currently saving animals lives in the Hurricane Katrina area.
Mission: NSAL America, founded in 1944 is more than just an advocacy group. We not only advise the public through the various mediums about how important it is to adopt from a shelter and spay/neuter your pet. We actually go to shelters and homes to rescue unwanted animals and find them homes with new families. Any sick animals we rescue are cared for in our medical center, and not destroyed as in many other shelters. All this work is able to be done through voluntary public support of caring people all over the world.

| My personal message: |
|
What are the two best things about the Internet?
That's right: cute animals -- and meeting awesome people!
And Social Media for Social Change (SM4SC) found a way to combine the
two -- and make a BIG difference at the same time.
Not a fan of crazy karaoke bars full of nutty drunks belting out Shania Twain and Def Leppard?
Located in a town where your only hope of karaoke would be singing along with the piped-in music outside the grocery store?
Afraid to leave your basement lest the sun touch your "Internet Pale" shade of skin?
Well, you can STILL get involved -- in THREE WAYS!
- $10 Requests -- In the comments here, you can request that the lovely Natasha or the (not so lovely, but totally insane) Meg -- AND MORE PEOPLE TO COME -- sing along ON VIDEO with any song you choose. Simply donate choose a song, and pop it into the comments. Make sure the song is reasonably recognizable (not one you wrote last year, or a Gregorian chant) and clean (hey, this is a family organization) and sometime in the next week, the chanteuse of your choice will record it for our upcoming video channel, launching next week. We do have the right to veto really sketchy songs, but you can always request again. Neither of us minds being embarrassed. And you should HEAR my Axl Rose. And my Cher.
- $10 DARES -- In the comments here dare ANYONE to video themselves singing along at home with the song of your choice. Simply donate, choose a song, choose a person (give us their @) and pop it into the comments. We'll give them your dare on Twitter... and we'll see if they are man or woman enough to make it happen. If they refuse, well... you gave to a good cause.:) I would personally love to see something from, say, Gruen or, say... like, Chris... or how about rockstar Rebecca? Or Mr. Notion to Motion himself? And we all know Erin and Aaron can rock out... or whoever you want! (Note, none of these people know I'm suggesting you dare them to do ANYTHING... I just know they have webcams!)
- $10 COVER at the HOMEOKE bar! If you want to record YOURSELF singing along with your favourite song (again, keep it as clean, kids) for our video channel, simply donate and let us know in comments to be looking for your video in our inbox (send it to Meg AT sm4sc DOT com).
This is a GREAT cause... and we can get some pretty hilarious videos if you guys get creative and have fun.
And $10 can do a HUGE amount to keep an adorable animal alive -- and we're pretty sure that's worth a few rough notes along the way.
