Email the WhiteHouse begging for help for disaster assistance
I wrote and begged. [email protected]
I don't expect any response, but I had to try.

2. Somewhere I've either heard, read or seen an article
that the area's affected were declared disaster areas even before the hurricane even hit. Hopefully that will help to expedite aid and assistance. My only hope is they'll be able to get to people in time.

I'm so afraid of what will come out over the next few days. God bless all of the people who are in the line of fire.

5. I know. I'm not expecting a bush response
They keep track of communications, even though they ignore them. I am not expecting much. I think I'll email my congressional representatives also.

6. I took an hour tonight to media blast
this pathetic non-response from *. Won't do any good, but I feel better.

7. We shouldn't be having to beg.
Bush should have been sending in help from the military. They have manpower and equipment to get in there and help these people who are suffering.

8. We shouldn't, but I am one of those bleeding heart liberals who will
to save lives, to keep people healthy I will beg. The frustrating part for me is not that I have to beg, but that I don't think the begging will do any good. But I have to try.

10. I understand.
I am one of those bleeding hearts also and my heart is bleeding. I am just thinking of former presidents who would have reacted to this disaster in a responsible manner.
