| Where is the National responce.
This should have been posted first thing monday morning, but like everything else too little is being done too late.Where the hell is the National Gaurd and the Military and why hasn't the President done a REAL flyover.Maybe Mr.Bush should spend a night out on a roof with water rising all around him.Before you guys jump all over me I have family down there some made it out some didn't. |

| Housing is needed
I called the local chapter of the red Cross and informed them that I have a 6 br house available for anyone displaced by this tragedy.
They said they're not aware of any efforts at this time to find long term shelter for those displaced, perhaps if more people call with this same type of donation, maybe they'll get off their asses and start making this available to those who desperately need this kind of help.
There is a web site that needs help too, sort of an offspring of »www.fark.com/ but they need Database admin help and php/web scripting assistance.
»www.katrinashelter.com/
They're going to be assembling a database of housing that is being made available by regular joes and janes like us, in order to bring some relief to thos who've been displaced.
If you can help Katrina's Shelter, please help.

Re: Where is the National responce.
The Nat'l Response was there before the hurricane hit. Maybe you should drive to the area to see for yourself. Oh wait you can't - maybe the same logistical problem that the gov't is having.
Why does everything have to be political????
Bush flying over the area would only have a symbolic affect. Do you think he would do more than he is already doing now. He has authorized everything asked of him for this tragedy.
How can you sit in the comforts of your San Diego Home complaining about what the people on the ground are doing?
Why don't you yell at the UN for not convening and the liberals in western Europe for not sending any aid over? Where are they when natural disasters hit us?
Get a Life!!! |

Re: Spirit Of Texas Hurricane Relief
Walmart is also taking contributions, at all of their stores.
If any of you need to contact anyone in the area effected by Katrina you may be able to get a message through to some one using this organization. »www.satern.org/
It would seem the death toll is going to be in the thousands:( |

Re: Please give what you can!
I did so last night, giving $100 to the American Red
Cross 2005 Hurricane Relief Fund.
I also asked my HR representative here at work whether
my employer will match that contribution. |

Re: Housing is needed
FEMA is a good one to call/donate to as they provide trailers etc for displaced families. |
