Those checks will be showing up, soon: and since we apparently must take them*, we might as well put some of it to good use. A couple of suggested ones:
Ducks Unlimited. This one may need a little explanation: they're sportsmen who preserve the wetlands ducks need to maintain a sustainable population.
Feel free to nominate your own.
Open thread.

*Yes, watch me get forced to take that check.

Do you people have a problem with Kiva.org, which allows people to directly participate in micro-finance projects in poor countries? You don't actually give money, you loan money to potential entrepreneurs.
...that'd be objectionable to conservatives. I'm not aware of the group (http://www.kiva.org/), so I don't know whether their actual operations are suspect.

In general Conservatives and Libertarians support private organizations that use market based mechanisms to promote self-reliance, and entrepreneurship (its the lefties that push dependency and government control).

I'll probably donate the check to a combination of the Red Cross, my church, and Donors Choose (http://www.donorschoose.org/) - I'm not sure what the Redstate cred of Donors Choose would be, but I see it as a way of improving education in a way that promotes self-reliance among teachers instead of expanding the bureaucracy, which is how we usually seem to end up trying to fix public education, sadly.

Can't remember if it was 60 mins or another program, but my wife had heard about them before (probably on Oprah or something). Interesting concept, I was fascinated by it. I don't know if it's something I would partake in right now, but I don't see a problem with others doing so (IOW no objections).

No, seriously. Although it does scare me a little to see my silly little nom de guerre pasted on the front of RedState. Makes me wish I had come up with something cooler, although given that my name was granted to me in a Risk game several decades ago (gah) as Gengisdon, conqueror of Asia, perhaps I should be quite proud.
Anyway, I have already donated $100 to Obama in anticipation of my $600 silliness. The remainder I am donating to MasterCard.
But Moe, I will remain good on my pledge from the other thread, and Soldier's Angels will be a fine place for the money to go if all hell breaks loose in November. I didn't mean to say "double," however, but I will stand by it. The math is a little scary though - $6.66 not that much, but if it turns out Barack is secretly a crossdressing hermaphrodite Muslim who tortures nuns and sunday school teachers in his basement, I could be in for an exponentially bad night on his coattails.
For the record, the opening bet was I would donate $6.66 if we (i.e. Democrats) failed to pick up at least 2 seats in the Senate regardless of the Prez race. I would double for each seat less.

Also now available at Political Machine.
Although I did donate a little to the North Carolina GOP yesterday...but the rest will go towards purchasing some poor sucker's house at a foreclosure sale.

Good.
These ads do not deal with Rev Wright, but rather his character in general and they stress the fact that he has radical positions, is an elitist, and way out of the mainstream. Apparently they're working too - Woody Jenkins' opponent in LA-06 has moved quickly to distance himself from Obama.
