Call your governors. Tell them to respond immediately to the Gulf tragedy!

They need our help!

What the fuck are people in power thinking right now? Every American right now watching this epic tragedy unfold is tearing themselves up thinking of how they could possibly help and these people in positions of power that could do SO much... what are they thinking?

Freeper Lurkers: Please post a similar appeal on Free Republic, we can come together on this.

1. Governor Fletcher, here in Kentucky

has already given the Hurricane a pardon.

2. Good idea

Impossible to imagine how there can be such a lack of action.

3. I am sure help is converging from all states, as happens

with disasters of this magnitude. In Houston, I heard a bunch of trucks from Reliant Energy have already been mobilized and are en route. I'm positive that within days there will be all kinds of donation drop-offs and telethons to raise money and whatever might be needed.

4. We're sending search and rescue teams from Virginia with state-of-the-art

equipment, as well as personnel from Dominion Virginia Power, to help restore electricity to Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama.
