Rebecca Vitsmun - while in a sea of "God" rhetoric in the aftermath of the Moore, OK tornado - was being interviewed by CNN's Wolf Blitzer.

A campaign ran by stand-up comedian Doug Stanhope and called Atheist Unite, out did the American Humanist Association (AHA) by raising over $95,000 for Rebecca Vitsmun and her family. Their original goal was to raise $50,000 in 60 days, but met that goal in less than 17 hours after going live with the campaign and funds still climb.
