I would like to host my SQL in the cloud. I would like to find an easy open source tool that will clone or mirror my local server's database to the SQL Azure. I tried the free studio MS offers and it won't connect to SQL Azure.

Can you suggest a program that does this?

Download and install SQL 2008 R2 management Studio.. connect to your on-premise instance of SQL Server, right click on database > Generate scripts > in the advanced options choose SQL Azure for engine type. The wizard will generate a script compatible with SQL Azure.
There is also a free tool on codeplex called SQLAzureMigrationWizard which does the same and it can transfer data as well.
