China Earthquake Aid
Aftershocks continue to shake Sichuan Province — including a 6.0 magnitude earthquake early Sunday morning, the latest in a series of more than 4,400 tremors in less than a week — causing landslides, disrupting telecommunications and blocking roads in already-devastated areas. Fears of flash floods and weakened dams are also hampering already-difficult relief operations.
Myanmar's Cyclone Nargis Children in Crisis Fund
Save the Children is responding to the needs of hundreds of thousands of children and families affected by Cyclone Nargis in Myanmar. Their immediate needs are for food and nonfood items, including clean water and shelter.
Endorse the "Responsible Plan to End the War in Iraq" This occupation will never end unless we change the conversation and change Washington (check out this YouTube with Cokie Roberts and Katrina vanden Heuvel to see what we mean).

He has done stints on television: "My Name Is Earl", "Without A Trace (CBS)" and "Will & Grace (NBC)" to the L.A. stage in "Southern Baptist Sissies" & "Pageant" to a string of cabaret performances at The Gardenia, The Zephyr, The Ten20 and more, Michael Taylor Gray can be seen and heard all over Los Angeles.
He most recently starred as the Leader of the Greek Chorus in a world premiere adaptation of THE BACCHAE at the Celebration Theatre in Hollywood, which played to sell-out houses and rave reviews!
And now he can be seen on the internet-based sitcom series, Cast This!, a comedy about the ins and outs of the casting business. Julia Johnston has been a casting director in Hollywood for years, most of the time casting “B” movies and straight-to-DVD films. She and her assistant, Michael (Michael Taylor Gray), try to maintain calm in an office that seems to thrive on chaos.
