he just threw his hands up and hit the gas. one accident, two different stories. what really happened when a car struck three occupy d.c. protesters standing in the middle of the street. good morning. i'm angie goff. welcome to news 4 today on this sunday, november 6th. that collision sent the demonstrators, including a 13-year-old boy, to the hospital. all three are expected to be okay but the protesters are not okay with the way they say police treated them. news 4's darcy spencer explains. >> the car hit my legs.

i hit the ground, briefly lost consciousness. >> reporter: heidi describes how the car hit her. >> he just threw his hands up and hit the gas. >> reporter: they say they were part of a large group of tkpwepl straighters outside a conservative dinner outside the convention center when they were hit, they believe intentionally, as they were standing on the street it. >> bent me at the waist. i fell over and smacked my head on the hood of the car. >> reporter: instead of charging the driver, they gave them these citations, two each or jaywalking and obstructing traffic. >> i'm not going to pretend to know what color the light was at that time. i don't think a green light gives anybody the right to maul down a group of people who are standing there peacefully in who noninvolved witnesses say they jumped in front of the car and the cash appeared to be

unavoidable. >> i don't think that gives the driver the right to strike anybody. but if somebody gives in front of the car, that does weigh a lot on how the accident occurred. >> heidi says that's not how it happened. she said she wants police to take her statement and to do a thorough investigation. >> i'm not hard-core trying to jump in front of cars and break windows and, you know, be violent. i'm there to make a point. and my point wouldn't be made by jumping on a car. >> those citations carry a total of $30 in fines for each protesters. d.c. police say if they receive additional information or evidence they will consider it in this case. but at this point the driver has not been charged. in northwest washington, darcy spencer, news 4 today. in atlanta, police arrested several demonstrators during an occupy protest. they were ordered out of a local

part but refused. dozens of officers arrived in riot gear and arrested protesters mostly for not obeying orders to remain on the sidewalk. officials would not say how many were arrested. last month the mayor officially issued an executive order allowing them into the park but later revoked it citing security concerns. tragedy in vancouver. a woman died yesterday afternoon after police found her unresponsive inside her tent. there are reports she died of a drug overdose, but police have not confirmed that. vancouver's mayor has ordered the tent city that popped up during the protest to be cleared as soon as possible. thousands they'd their voices heard through their bank accounts yesterday as they took part in bank transfer day. they moved their money from big banks into smaller ones, more local banks and credit unions. this comes as bank to bank of

america and other national banks announcing fees for credit card usage even though most backed off the fees. that didn't stop many of them from making a statement. >> to be part of the bigger movement to try to take back control of our finances and our economy. >> they're paying their top executives top dollar and then trying to charge people fees just to use their own money. >> financial analysts say since bank of america introduced their monthly debit card fee just a few months ago, 650,000 americans switched to credit unions. that's more than all of last year. >> well, we are going to check in with meteorologist chuck bell. chuck, it looks like we're in for another nice fall day. >> honestly, a pretty nice day to be outside. angie, good morning to you. good morning, everybody. sunday off to a very cold start in the western suburbs. a lot of spots below the freezing mark this morning where the skies have stayed more in the clear category. from washington points east, southern maryland, a little bit

redskins they kick off against the 49ers. 55 degrees under a partly sunny sky. light breeze south 5 to 10 miles per hour. perfect weather for football whether you're going to the game or sit back, relax and watch it. angie will have a check of the back to work and school forecast coming up. >> looking forward to it, chuck. thank you. a peewee football team plans to honor one of their teammates and his brother after they were killed in a fiery car accident. 2-year-old delonte and his brother anthony died friday after a multicar accident caused their car to burst into flames. the boys who were buckled up in the back seat never had a chance to get out. on saturday, the peewee football team took to the field. but from heavy hearts from the loss of their teammate. >> they cry, of course. you know, we let them know crying is okay. you know, because you just lost a brother. you may not be biological but we just lost a brother. >> the team plans to honor the

two brothers for the rest of the season by adding his number and delonte's name on the back of the team's helmets. police are looking for a man who tried to abduct an 8-year-old girl. it happened 4:30 p.m. on satterfield court. the black econline van might have had the word mallory spray painted on the side. if you have any information, police contact the sheriff's office or crime solvers. five virginia teenagers are in hot water for stealing halloween candy from trick-or-treaters. one of the teens had a gun. when the kids refused the teens beat them up, took their candy and then took off. the five were charged with robbery and assault. happening today, some local

forecast. as much as i'm sure you would love for me to talk about oklahoma. outside on your sunday morning we have a cloud deck hanging on. just a little bit especially during the front half of the day today. these are not going to be rain-making clouds. anything you want to do outside today you'll still be able to do it. you have to do it with a little bit less sunshine than we were going to get for today. and man, oh, man, has it turned chilly out there. 39 at national airport. not much of a breeze blowing. northeast now at 3 miles per hour. light winds many gradually sneak back around to the south and southwest before the day is done. but not much of a breeze to worry about for today. temperatures in the western suburbs have really dropped now. most of them below freezing. 28 in gaithersburg. 31 rockville. 30 in restin. 28 in leesburg. 33 in huntingtown. mainly because of the cloud cover.

all the way until mid week. some spots on wednesday might even touch, yeah, are you listening? 70. 70 degrees. not completely out of the question tuesday and wednesday down to the south, washington, fredericksburg, stafford. so for today we'll call it partly sunny. more clouds to the east and to the south of washington. sun goes down 5:03. highs mid to upper 50s. mostly sunny. noticeably warmer tomorrow with highs reaching back into the low and mid-60s. look at this mild stretch of weather coming our way monday, tuesday, wednesday. mid to upper 60s. 68 in town on tuesday. could make for 70-degree weather not all that far away. rain chances sneak in for thursday and friday, ushering in more november-like weather by next weekend. >> are you telling me we have to pull the shorts back out? >> no, no, no. you'll be fine in jeans. >> thank you, chuck. >> okay. >> next up is reporter's

notebook, a look at stories affecting your community. i'll be back in 15 minutes with this morning's top stories and you're sunday's forecast. for now here's pat lawson muse. >> good morning. welcome to reporter's notebook. i'm pat lawson muse. election day in virginia, vindication on the hill and zombie president? first we start in virginia with the u.s. senate race. prince william, cory stewart has endorsed republican george allen in u.s. senate race. stewart had been a george allen critic, calling him a mediocre senator, charging washington changed him more than he changed washington. last week stewart changed his tune. he retracted and now said allen had a good senate record. why the about-face and how important is this endorsement? >> well, it's very good. my indicating reports it's very, very good for allen. here's one of his chief critics getting on board. guy who wanted to run for the job himself and against him. now he's saying he's gone from

mediocre to being my guy. so it's helpful to george allen. why did he change? he may have looked at the calculus and said he couldn't win. why muddy things up? let's let him have a free run if he has a shot at it. >> there's pressure on making this a gop block for virginia. but this whole thrust of republicanism in virginia and cory stewart of course, yes, he changed. but something tells me in the back of my thinking that he might be trying to position himself with some type of, say, job in the future politically. that he wants to move it of prince william county as the board chair. maybe into the assembly. >> and where else does he have to go? i mean, i don't understand why this is a surprise. >> right. >> who else is he going to endorse? but i think jerry is absolutely

right. >> he's positioning himself for a run. >> a future run. and he's very popular particularly with the anti immigration position that he's taken. >> meanwhile, the control of the state senate is also up for grabs on tuesday. what are the chances democrats will take control of virginia's state senate? >> well, right now the republicans are hoping they can change the order. and improve their chances. and they think virginia has changed from 2008, much more republican state witnessed last fall's elections where they were knocked out of office. and they think they have the team to do it and they want to advance the program. it's really tough they would say on social issues and on conservative fiscal issues. and they are really confident they have a burst of wind now and that they can do it. the president did not have many democrats appearing with him in his recent trip to promote his

jobs bill. they think the luster is off him and they can make hay. >> now, also the fact is i go back to the old conversations we've had about virginia, the split virginia, northern virginia and the southern or western part of virginia. and i think that will really come into play, pat, when it comes to this statewide thrust of republicanism. because you can't knock off northern virginia thinking they're going to go with southern virginia. i think this has a lot to do with how and who will get into the general assembly. >> as we speak it is about turnout in northern virginia. that's going to be the key. will the turn out in an off-year election be high enough for the democrats to hold on? and it will depend on a heavy turnout in northern virginia. and of course there are implications for the presidential race next year. >> absolutely. because you have to -- you'll

have a strong republican assembly but be able to raise money, campaign. it will give them a big boost that the state will go back red. >> and you're right, joe. because remember we have always talked about virginia being the swing state. >> being purple. >> it's a swing state. and the purple swing state, if it gets really red, this could cause trouble for the white house. >> in washington, a house committee has issued a report concluding that there is not enough evidence to support suleman brown's claims that mayor vincent gray promised him a job. the mayor said this helps to vindicate him even though he is still the focus of a federal criminal probe. even though they did not indicate money had not exchanged hands between gray and brown. >> in effect they say they can't prove charges that the mayor offered him a job. he is saying it's a vindication.

his critics are saying, well, it's not exactly a sreupd indication. these are his critics now. it's just that they can't prove their charges. that's what they're saying. the other part, as you mentioned, the evidence they do suggest is very strong that campaign people did pay brown, former mayor adrian fenty and to help gray's campaign. they admit they don't have enough evidence off the other. >> does this take the pressure off mayor gray and will it influence the outcome of the federal criminal probe? >> yeah. image-wise i would say it looks good. the house committee says, hey, you're clean. this looks good. but like you said earlier, there's still this -- the albatross is still over his head. and one of the things that they are talking about, the exchange of monies here, we're not talking about cash. we're talking about what? >> money orders. >> money orders, which has some

discrepancies with the elections board. >> pat, i think at best it's a split decision. that's what i hear people saying. it's a split decision. you're absolutely right. gray can breathe a sigh of relief. but the federal prosecutor still has to rule. and i don't think the congressional hearings or investigation is going to have any bearing on the -- whether there's criminality involved with this federal prosecutor who is very independent and is looking at all the facts. but i think you're right. gray can sort of say it was a split decision. i told you i was not directly involved in this sort of vindicates me. >> meanwhile, all of the problems and scandals plaguing the city have caught the attention of capitol hill. republican darryl isip of california will require d.c.

officials to undergo background checks. he's backed off of that. but are we looking at the possible return for resurgence of the control board era? >> well, he hasn't backed off. let's get the terminology. he has delayed because he had a conversation with kwame brown last tuesday i think. he had a conversation with him, and he decided he would put it on hold. his out of congress calling for this background check. he will put it on hold until the end of the year based on what the district does. >> gray makes very clear that -- isip makes very clear that he's not giving up on this. he wants to see the city pass the law. and he complains the city should have this kind of law in the first placing. and that's why i moved in. they say they're going to pass the law. so okay. he's waiting and watching

closely. are we returning to a control board era? my reporting indicates it depends what happens with the gray. if these alleged scandals continue to mount, if things look very bad for republicans and democrats in the house, there could be action. >> and the sad thing is here again is a classic example, another example for this viewing audience to understand here you have a congressman from a district in california telling the people of washington, d.c., 600 folks, how they should behave. and he wouldn't apply the same principals to council members of local localities and his own district. but the answer to the question, you're absolutely right. he's wait to go see how strong the ethics committee and rules will be. if it's not strong enough to his liking he will step in and do

what congress always does, interferes. >> pardon me for interrupting. the argument always is well, the constitution says we have jurisdiction. that's the way it is and that's what we're going to do. >> we've got to take a break. we'll be right back.

welcome back to news 4 today on this sunday, november 6th. i'm angie goff. we're on top of a developing story right now out of oklahoma where residents are still checking for damage this morning after a 5.6 earthquake shook the central part of the state. the quake hit late friday night near the city of prague. that's about 50 miles east of oklahoma city. luckily, no major injuries were reported. but at least three sections of a local highway were damaged. the 5.6 reading is the a largest recorded earthquake in the state's history. we're keeping close tabs on the story and will bring you any pictures or video of damage we get into the newsroom. an american writer who disappeared in libya for months is back home this morning. matthew van dyke returned to baltimore last night. he told reporters he went to libya to hp with the fight

against gadhafi and spent the last few weeks on the front lines. he also says he spent months in a libyan prison after he was captured with rebel forces. van dyke said he couldn't sit back and watch libyans fight for their freedom without trying to help. and it looks like we can look forward to a nice sunny day today. it's going to be a little cool today. chuck bell is in the weather center with today's forecast. >> good morning. yeah, off to a very chilly start today, especially for our friends and neighbors out in the western suburbs towards the blue ridge and the shenandoah valley. off to a very subfreezing cold start in many spots. right here in washington where you're looking live over the city right now. still waiting on the sun which is only six minutes away from getting up in our eastern sky. we do have extra cloud cover today compared to yesterday. this is going to be the story for much of the afternoon. so unlike yesterday where we had about 95% clear skies, today we're looking at about 65% to

75%, sort of depending how the day breaks out here. it's off to a cold start, no doubt about it. temperatures 39 in washington. 43 for annapolis and shadyside and chesapeake beach, st. mary's county. temperatures in the upper 40s there. but where the clouds have been thinnest out to the west, temperatures really plummeted this morning. back down into the upper 20s and low 30s. winchester, front royal, toms brook down towards warrenton, manassas, all below freezing this morning. nothing showing up on doppler. even though we have extra clouds out there, they're not rain-making clouds. we don't need to worry too much about them. temperatures this afternoon climbing into the mid-40s by mid-morning. mid-50s by middle afternoon. highs today mid-50s. a few spots into the upper 50s today. yesterday a thought a lucky few might make it into the low 60s today. that's probably not going to happen with the extra clouds

around. a lot of folks headed out to the redskins kicking it off at 1:00 this afternoon. 55 degrees for kickoff temperature under that mix of cloud and sunshine. zero percent chance for rain. ravens on the road in pittsburgh. you don't have to go to see that game. keep it right here on the friendly four. this is the sunday night game here on nbc. kickoff 8:20. clear skies. softba season sally chilly. clouds will leave us alone tomorrow. that will allow for a nice warmup. tomorrow, the low and mid 60s. so be ready for a little bit of warming trend to continue coming our way. near 70 for a luckyget in tuesd >> that is just unbelievable to me. >> it's good. we usually get one, maybe two 70s in the month of november but

they are getting fewer and farther between. >> thank you, chuck. presidential hopeful herman cain is trying to put allegations of sexual harassment in the rear-view mirror. he joined newt gingrich for a debate put on by a texas tea party group. they talked about health care, entitlement programs, voter i.d., and of course taxes. >> i'm about fixing the problem. and one of the biggest problems we have is that the payroll tax is the biggest tax that a lot of workers pay. >> aforesaid cain said he would no longer answer questions about sexual harassment cases and said reporters who asked about them are unethical. >> over a trillion dollars and has accomplished nothing as far as containing -- >> republican ron paul appears to be the choice of voters in illinois. the texas congressman won the

state's republican straw poll yesterday with 52% of the vote. more than 3600 voters participated in the straw poll sur passing similar polls in ohio, florida and california. republicans hope to make illinois a contested state in the 2012 general election after obama won his home state easily in 2008. coming up on meet the press, david gregory continues his meet the candidates series with republican presidential hopeful jon huntsman. we'll also talk to bill richardson and haley barbour. it's all ahead on meet the press. greece's prime minister's efforts for a joint coalition to solve the country's debt crisis has been denied. he said a coalition government is the only way they can save themselves from total bankruptcy. conservatives shot it down, suggesting he step down and they hold a new general election

immediately. despite receiving aid from other european countries there's a chance greece could be forced out of the eu and be on its own in devising a new currency system. as greece teeters on the brink of bankruptcy, other countries are keeping a close eye on what happens next. that includes the united states. as a bankrupt greece could have a major impact on our economy. nbc's michelle kaczynski has more from athens. stpwh >> reporter: it is a greek drama the whole word has been watching. he barely won a confidence group after proposing a coalition government that might mean the end of his job. but the opposition is calling instead for elections which could delay greece's desperately needed multibillion dollar bailout by europe. >> they couldn't really make it up. if you put it in a novel no one would believe it. that would affect markets, trading and nervousness within the banking system.

and that's the really dangerous bid. >> reporter: it has rattled world markets. some see it as potentially precipitating a second global recession. >> if we don't do something fast, all hell will break loose probably. >> and if you think the u.s. isn't affected, on the day he considered putting the bailout to a risky public vote, u.s. stocks slumped. when he changed his mind, they bounced back. as of now, he remains in power with the hope greece's parliament will approve the bailout. another looming question is will greece be able to continue to enact the necessary auterity measures. 33-year-old civil engineer marcos has a good job but hasn't been paid in three months, surviving by living with his parents. >> it's like a cow.

you take milk. how much milk you can take? the cow will stop. you have to feed the cow in order to have milk. >> reporter: coming days will be critical in bringing greece and world confidence in the euro zone back from the brink. michelle kaczynski, nbc news, athens. it's 6:41 right now. still in the dark. when all connecticut residents will finally get their powerback on more than a week after that rare october snowstorm. and washington's most notorious lobbyist breaks his silence. silence. what jack get your cash back. which cash back booth looks better to you, chase freedom or the largest cash back card?

i'll try the largest oh, that's too bad apparently you don't know chase freedom guarantees you 1% cash back... 4 times more than the largest cash back card, which only gives you a quarter percent until you spend $3,000 every year but have fun, bob and weave once you're in there. and right now, when you apply... you'll receive $300 bonus cash back after you spend $500 in the first three months. can i change my mind? i was hoping you would plus, chase freedom gives you a total of 5 percent cash back on up to $1,500 worth of purchases in new categories every three months, like gas stations, movie theaters, restaurants and grocery stores when i say cash you say back... cash... okay! even better... with chase freedom, there's no annual fee. so remember if you apply now... you'll receive $300 bonus cash back after you spend $500 in the first three months. get your cash back. call or visit our website to apply.

welcome back. one of d.c.'s most notorious lobbyistsis talking. abramoff spent three years behind bars for bribery. it may help repay the $23

million in restitution owed to his victims. thousands of people in connecticut are growing frustrated after being left without power for more than a week. power lines were knocked down across connecticut when the rare october snowstorm buried the northeast last weekend. now people are questioning the state's largest utility saying they do not have enough crews working to restore power. connecticut light and power said seven times its normal line crews are now working. now we have fall-like weather and 70s in the forecast. >> i know. and it's great, isn't it? that's what we like about the weather. just wait five minutes and it will change every now and then. so that's good news. even better this weekend. not a bad way to get the month of november under way. we'll talk about your sunday chances for sunshine and you chances for sunshine and you even

with seasonal temperatures... hey, ellen! what you doin'? not much, just brewing up some dunkin' donuts coffee. want some? [ whoosh! ] i'd love some. one taste, and you'll understand. delicious dunkin' donuts coffee. mm! good. pick some up where you buy groceries. america runs on dunkin'. another reason to smile -- dunkin' donuts' new holiday flavors. get 'em while they last.

to war zones. and that can be a problem for a once-thriving tourist destination like dubrovnik, croatia, left in disrepair by years of war. luckily, people took notice. they helped dubrovnik rebuild and restructure their five-star hotels, and croatia eventually regained 14% of the nation's gdp; a rebirth made possible by the international business and tourism management programs at rochester institute of technology. looks like we're dealing with a chilly start to our sunday morning, but things will warm up, right, chuck, bell? >> absolutely. looking very pleasant for this afternoon. daylight saving has now ended. we're back on eastern standard

time. it's one of those annual tasks, semi annual tasks. you have to do it twice a year, go around the house and move all the clocks back. it's always the one you're not thinking about that's going to set you into panic mode. wait a minute. i thought i had an extra hour. just remember to go ahead and move your clocks back, the ones you didn't already move, and get ready for very early sunsets. sunsets before 5:00 before the week is done. and we'll keep pre-5:00 p.m. sunsets all the way into the first week of january. oh. my least favorite six weeks of the year. at least thanksgiving, christmas, and new year's are coming up, and all the other holidays for this time of year. outside we picked up a few extra clouds outside. these clouds will be sticking around for about the front half of the day. i do think as we get into the afternoon some of this cloud cover will break up just a bit. that will be a nice change of pace. oh, has it gotten cold, though.

skies stayed clear enough just long enough to allow the downtown areas to drop into the 30s. a lot of western suburbs stayed clear even longer. as a result, temperatures fell even more. look at the disparate in temperatures now. 43 in annapolis. but 28 in leesburg. 27 in dulles, restin. 27 in manassas. so the tale of two places around here along east of i-95 where the extra clouds are. temperatures are 30s and 40s. but to the west of i-95 where the skies are clearer, temperatures are into the upper 20s to near 30 degrees. so a very cold start this morning. nothing on radar. that is some welcomed news after all the rain and snow that we had last weekend. we don't have to worry about that. it will be a rain-free sunday. sun is just now coming up. it came up at 6:41 this morning. we're going to have a nice day. a mix of clouds and sunshine,

especially here in the front half of the day. then mostly sunny by mid to late afternoon. here's the satellite picture. look at the bubble of clouds there that hung the coastline for much of the day yesterday. high pressure is starting to inch its way offshore. notice how the clouds are now speaking back up and along interstate 95 there. but still mostly clear kaoeus out towards interstate 81 in the shenandoah valley. it will be a nice day today. off to a cold start. the clouds hanging closest to the coastline. but, again, there are some clouds anyway hanging near the washington area. so we'll call it a mix of clouds and sunshine for today. on the whole, nice by november standards. highs today falling 3 to 5 degrees cooler than average. but as this area of high pressure finally starts to work its way off the eastern seaboard we get more of a southwesterly flow. that will allow things to start to moderate quite a bit. some places might be near 70 degrees as we head towards tuesday and perhaps even wednesday as well.

so here's your sunday forecast. partly sunny. more clouds to the east and to the south of washington. highs today mid to upper 50s. light breeze out of the south at 5 to 10. then back to work and school tomorrow. partly to mostly sunny tomorrow. warmer. highs tomorrow into the low and mid-60s. so that's a nice change of pace. average high now around 61 degrees. so we'll be in bonus territory tomorrow. tuesday and wednesday look absolutely fantastic around here. tuesday is probably going to be the pick of the litter this week. cloud cover will start to move back in wednesday. even so, it will remain mild with highs in the mid-60s. and rain chances for thursday and friday. good news, i think we can get those before the weekend arrives. redskins and the 49ers kicking it off at 1:00 today. 55 for a kickoff temperature. go skins! and of course the sunday night game right here on nbc. pittsburgh steelers and the baltimore ravens kicking it off at 8:20 this evening. good weather for football in

to do. >> the worst thing about it is losing this game. for the seniors last game in the stadium was really emotional. on top of that losing to virginia. it's the last team you want to lose to. so it's really bad. >> next week maryland plays notre dame at fedex field. senior day in annapolis. navy hosting troy. snack time for the goats. tasty. one of the navy seniors chris proctor missed last week's game with a dislocated elbow. navy happy to have him back. a wide open gg green. mid shipman in front, 14-0. first and goal. proctor pitches to alexander. powers in for a five-yard score. midshipman win big, 42-14 ending a six-game slide. elsewhere, louisville stuns west virginia, 38-35. and howard defeats hampton, 10-7, its first win against the pirates since 1996. talking baseball now.

>> the team plans to honor the two brothers for the rest of the season by adding his number and delonte's name on the back of the team's helmets. police are looking for a man who tried to abduct an 8-year-old girl. it happened 4:30 p.m. on satterfield court. luckily the girl got away. i'll be back in a few minutes with another update. good morning and welcome to viewpoint. i'm jim hanley. today we're all about giving. november 9th is an exciting new opportunity for nonprofits in our community to reach out and partner with you in some trying times with an ambitious online effort to raise money to better serve those in need in our region. it's called give to the max day. and joining us to tell us all about it and just how it works is bill han bury of united way national capital area. we have with us in the studio terry freeman, president community foundation for the national capital region, and ceo of razu.com.

we've been airing the promos throughout the weekend. a lot of our viewers may have seen them at home. this is an intensive 24-hour-period we're talking about. leslie, tell us how this works. >> sure. give to the max of greater washington is 24-hour online fund-raising event serving the nonprofits of our region, basically any nonprofit that themselves serve residents of the greater washington area can participate. and on november 9th, we're challenging them to raise as much money as they can and to bring in as many supporters as they can using online fund-raising tools and tapping into their negotiable networks. >> when we say online we're talking about reaching people at their workplace too. bill, how much more efficient does this make fund-raising than traditionally what we're used to. >> united way is our key transaction. around the region, 300,000

people participate in workplace giving. but there's a whole bunch more citizens than 300,000 people. this effort is really to reach way beyond workplace giving. to reach out to consumers across the region and really tap into their sense of generosity, their sense of social responsibility. and it's really a new transaction for us. it's a new channel, a new way to engage people in what is a pretty trying time for this region right now. >> terry, talk a little bit about how challenging the times have been this past year, past few years for that matter for nonprofits in our region of which there are so many. >> i think since the fall 2008 it has been tough on nonprofits in our region. more and more of them find themselves with larger client bases. unfortunately they have shrinking dollars. they were coming from direct contributions, soon followed by cuts in public funding to the nonprofits that are often in contractual relationships with the public sector to provide

services to the populations that need it the most. and even though we have heard a lot of conversation about the fact that the recession is coming to an end, it's slowing down, for those people still unemployed or severely underemployed or are looking at foreclosure, it is still a hard, tough time. and often these are people who maybe volunteered at nonprofits in the past who are going to par take of the services of the nonprofit. so this is a great way for us to encourage giving across the board to nonprofits. >> what kinds of numbers are we talking about in terps of goals out there and how many nonprofits will be taking part in this? >> sure. we already have over 1,000 nonprofits signed up to participate. we have one day left for nonprofits to sign up. so certainly encourage anyone out there who is part of a nonprofit, on the board of a nonprofit, knows a nonprofit to

get them on board because they won't want to miss this opportunity. we're hoping to raise over 3 million on that one day, 24-hour period. >> now, it hasn't been done in your region before, but we do have some anecdotal evidence in minnesota where this has been done. how much success has it had there? >> extraordinarily successful in minnesota in the first go-round. in 24 hours they raised $14 million. in the second go-round they raised $11 million. and we all love minnesota. it's a great part of the country. i would suggest to you that the metropolitan region of washington, d.c. is just as generous, is just as good a sense of social responsibility. so we're hoping to have very, very strong numbers on november 9th. >> you had mentioned that, too terry, how generous our region is. some will say we're resilient too. but we are taking some hits. >> absolutely. >> if you look in specific pockets, we are having tough

times. >> we are. but i will say this. we have been identified as the wealthiest region in the country. within that wealth are some pockets of severe, significant poverty. but if we're the wealthiest region in the country i will that we can come together and we can make a big impact on the nonprofits that are serving folks who find themselves in communities and unfortunately we also are known as having the highest unemployment rate in the country in one of our neighborhoods in southeast washington, d.c. >> ward 8 i think is 30%, right? >>? ward 8. so you have this kind of juxtaposition of the healthiest region in the tupb. and the highest unemployment in the country at the same time. >> the disparity is just dramatic. it truly is. >> and it's important to note that it's not just limited to the district of columbia. we have pockets of severe poverty throughout the region. >> oh, sure. >> in montgomery county, fairfax county, and beyond. prince george's county. so we have some real issues.

we have great nonprofits that are devoted to making sure people get what they need. and we've got great residents who are committed to these nonprofit organizations. >> we have to take a quick break. before we do i want to put up the web address where you can get involved. it's as easy as doing this folks, give2max.org. again, the big day is on the 9th, coming up on wednesday. so we hope you give. and spread the word too online

and welcome back to viewpoint. again, a big day coming up in our region online. if you're out of our region any time in the next four or five days you can contribute. it's through give2max.org, a 24-hour online that will give to 1,000 nonprofits throughout the washington region. bill, we were talking about historic poverty really

throughout our country. these are very tough times. how is that impacting nonprofits. >> also, i think there's a new perspective to it, jim, where, you know, in this very tough economy we have had very significant foreclosures. 66,000 foreclosures across the national capital area. 500,000 people out of work, underemployed or unemployed. it's taxing nonprofits like never before. that's why the timing is so good for this program because you've got government backing out of supporting some of these agencies that in the past addressed these issues. you have diminished resources coming out of corporations and from individuals because of a tough economy. but the needs are still there. actually, the needs are more intense than they've ever been before. so this is a new channel, a new opportunity for us to kind of execute on our sense of

philanthropy, in our community, with a sense of civic pride that maybe we haven't done before. >> i would think also through online that you can really seek to get new people out there. new donors maybe who haven't given in the past or just found it not difficult but find it so much easier to give online. is that part of the hope here? >> yeah. and certainly bill was mentioned the minnesota example. and the nonprofits there if the region -- i think over 85% brought in new donors for their event. so we expect new donors. we expect new types of donors, as you're saying. more additional savvy. the millennials. and we're allowing -- the technology also is allowing the donor and the nonprofit to really connect in a new way. the nonprofits can share videos. they can share photos. they can story tell. and every nonprofit has a wonderful story to share.

so it's this amazing online connection that the platform really helps create. >> you know, we all work with nonprofits here at nbc 4. we're proud to partner with so many. but tell us about putting a face on these nonprofits. leslie was mentioning the videos can help convince people of a need out there. putting a face on it. there are stories all over our region. >> absolutely. and as these nonprofits are already advertising, if you will, to their donor base and their friends, you know, give to the max day. they have pictures that are up. they have videos that are up. they have the stories that are up. for many nonprofits this is a whole new way of receiving contributions. and i think one of the greatest contributions of doing this day is we are really building the capacity of our nonprofit sector to utilize social media in a way that will be effective.

and if they bring in good number of new donors, even in 10 and $15 contributions, once you get the donor you can keep the donor. because you can establish the relationship. and i think the key to this is going to be each person using their own social network and spreading this idea of give2max day. i hope there will be friendly competition. >> you were talking about 10, $15 contributions. but is there a minimum or maximum? what are you hoping to get to be a typical contribution? are companies getting involved? >> no minimum, no maximum. we hope for the max. >> yeah. >> but the reality is, yes, corporations, companies and, you know, private sector, public sector are all getting involved with this viral approach to

getting them energized and engaged. again, what we're trying to do, and leslie mentioned it is to reach out to new audiences. a hipper audience than you might traditionally see. people that are digitally savvy as the millenials as they like to be called. that's where the new philanthropy is. maybe they're not in a career track that is a traditional career track in a corporation forever where they might not even have workplace giving. they still have a sense of generosity. we've got to engage them. we've got to get them energized. >> and they could have 50 or 60 years of giving ahead of them. >> absolutely. and the way they are using twitter. as soon as they make a gift they can go on twitter and say i just

gave my whatever contribution to the nonprofit of my choice. >> to all their followers. >> absolutely. >> wow. >> why didn't we think of this? we didn't have twitter. we didn't have a lot of these things. the timing, we're in tough times, we mentioned. social technology has created the win side of it all. before we do, we're going to put it up on the screen just how easy it is for you to give wednesday november 9th, during this 24-hour period. it is give2max.org. i[ male announcer ] want to achieve more with your money? pnc virtual wallet gathers your spending and saving in one place. credit and debit purchases, checks, bills, and other financial information. it lets you see the details as well as the big financial picture. so you can do more with your money. see what a complete view of your money can do for you at pncvirtualwallet.com. ♪ pnc bank. for the achiever in you.

♪ [ multiple sounds making melodic tune ] ♪ [ male announcer ] at northrop grumman, every innovation, every solution, comes together for a single purpose -- to make the world a safer place. that's the value of performance. northrop grumman. three occupy protesters are recovering after being hit by a car. but the driver was not charged. instead, the three protesters were given citations for obstructing traffic. they are asking police to hear

their side of the story. a peewee football team will honor one of their teammates and his brother after they were killed in a fiery car accident. 2-year-old delonte and his brother anthony died friday. anthony's team plans to honor the two by adding his number and delonte's name on the back of their helmets. police are investigating an attempted abduction. it happened yesterday afternoon on satterfield court. a man in a black econoline van pulled up to an 8-year-old e girl. luckily, she got away. now back to viewpoint. and welcome back to viewpoint, everybody. we're talking about giving this wednesday, november 9th, when all the nonprofits in our area are going to be asking for your contributions to help then through some tough times. and this is really a genius way of getting it done and attracting new donors as we mentioned. leslie, talk a little bit about the incentives. there are awards we're talking

about. >> yes. we're going to have over 140,000 dollars in awards. and we have structured it so, you know, large nonprofits can win awards. but also the smaller nonprofits too. there will be awards for the amount raised, those that raised the most. and those that bring in the most donors. there's also an individual fund-raiser award sponsored by care 2 whereby if you're passionate about a cause, if you're a free agent, passionate about a nonprofit, you can set up your own fund-raiser for the nonprofit on the day and you will win an award that goes towards your nonprofit. so that's another exciting way. the other thing we have tried to do is to keep it interesting throughout the day. so, for example, from 2:00 in the afternoon until midnight we'll have our golden ticket awards. and basically every hour $1,000 will be donated to the nonprofits that bring in the

most donors. so i think the thing about what will be exciting on the day is the website give2max.org will have leader boards showing how the nonprofits are doing. people will be checking in. nonprofits will see they might be eligible for something that they will be calling their donors. while a lot of this is online it will still be very, very exciting on the day itself. >> i'm starting to feel that telethon energy that i grew up with, you know? this is going to be that one-day period. beyond the awards, the nonprofits, we should say, are more tech savvy than others. there is a win-win for them. they get training in all of this. >> that's correct. many of them participated in boot camp. so the legacy of give2max will be the nonprofit community raised its entire level of intelligence about online giving.

i mean, this is the wave of the future. and this is the way that philanthropy will take place. and if nonprofits aren't astute and adapt at this, they're not going to be successful. so this urged them along in this process. even at the end of the day we're hoping we're going to be hugely successful financially but we have already been successful in building competencies and new awareness around using these kinds of digital tools in a new era. >> here we are second weekend in november. the holidays are upon us. the timing perhaps couldn't be better for something like this. >> it really is the time of year when people really begin to think about i'm doing well. i want to do good as well. and this is a real opportunity for them to do good by participating in give2max. it is a beginning. it's important for us to not just look at this as, you know, it's that day and that's it.

these nonprofits need support throughout the year. what a way to rally the entire community behind the work of all the nonprofits in the region. we've talked about the hardships that this pwe tpaeupbl people. but there's also a very pwraoeu brant and vital arts community in our region that needs support. the arts have been hit pretty hard in this recession. they need support as well. so we want to make sure that people center the ability to give to the organization of their choice, and that they look at november 9th as the beginning of continuing to give to these nonprofits. >> that's interesting that you point that out because a lot of us think, you know, soup kitchens and homeless shelters too. but you've got a vast a roy of different types of nonprofits we're talking about, right, bill? >> it's a wide spectrum. it could be animal rights, animal welfare groups. certainly the nonprofits in the basic needs area of food, clothing, shelter are really

struggling right now. but that's not to suggest the arts and cultural entities aren't struggling either. it is a very, very tough time in america. we're so blessed in the national capital area, and i know people that may be out of work or under foreclosure may not be feeling that way. overall as a region our economy is actually doing much better than the rest of the country. and when you've got six of the ten wealthiest counties in america sitting in our metropolitan area, there's a lot of bounty out there. and i think part of the objective here is to be a bridge between that bounty and some of the needs of our neighbors at this one particular time when we're all not doing as well as we ought to be. >> another quick break. when we do, we will put it up on the screen for you to get involved, take part and give. woeupb woeupb woeupb.give2max.org. it's coming up, folks, on november 9th. please give. and we'll be right back on

viewpoint. when it comes to getting my family to eat breakfast, i could use all the help i can get. like nutella, a delicious hazelnut spread that's perfect on multigrain toast, even whole-wheat waffles, for a breakfast that my kids love and i feel good about serving. and nutella is made with simple, quality ingredients, like hazelnuts, skim milk, and a hint of cocoa. it's quick, easy and something everyone can agree on. ♪ nutella. breakfast never tasted this good. ♪ overseas on your first day. day two, however, could be a totally different story. around here, students show up for their first day of co-op work and internships and are assigned to help one of over 1900 corporations, assignments that often lead to full - time career opportunities. it could be around the corner. it could be halfway around the world. no matter where our students go, their journey always begins at rochester institute of technology.

welcome welcome back to viewpointment we're talking about giving. it's called give2max washington. this is the first time ever. we have more than 1,000 nonprofits that will be benefiting from you out there, our generous viewers, generous residents here. and businesses too we've said. leslie talk if you would about how this is more efficient than the way we used to do it with social media. >> online technology and social media is basically making this much more cost-effective efficient form of fund-raising for nonprofits. as we touched before, some of the nonprofits participating this is their first introduction in that.

when you look at the cost of bringing an online donor, it's around six cents. compare that to direct mail, grant writing, to large-scale gala events, it's a much more cost-efficient way to bring someone in. as i touched on before, the wonderful thing about it is that then you have a direct connection with the donor. and donors love it. donors love that. traditionally they may send in a check. and that's the extent of the impact they hear of their gift whereas they can start to build these relationships on line. the wonderful thing about the online technology too is that it is tapped into people's social networks. so these ideas can spread virally. it is friends asking friends. it's social giving. >> and just takes off from there. can people target where they want their money to go obviously. >> absolutely. if you have a particular interest in a nonprofit, you're going to designate that money to
