this is the shock and awe for me
i sit as stunned that govt doesnt get it. the minute the waters started rising tues morning, everything in htis country, every boat, every bus everything.....should have been brought to help these people

if at that point on tues, still you had hope, surely by wed it was clear the desperation. yet still we waited to see mass flooding of vehicles coptors and planes.

this is what people watched. this is people saying...... govt isnt doing. we need

hence

my family owns some business. we are putting on radio today on commercial bring in stuff all stuff. drop centers. my father owns dry cleaners. clean them, steam them bag em. 7 drop stations thru town. may be able to bring all (in town) cleaners in. hire

donation time. easy to do in each city. we are going to hire a uhaul and take them down to houston. and i am going to work with this site to bring them

we the people.

we the people will do

fuck off govt

and we will take care of you, govt......after we do this mess

i am so pissed

1. What a wonderful way to do something
I feel so helpless here in San Diego. I received an e-mail from a volunteer org I helped with during those wildfires two years ago. The Red Cross needs help on their phone bank.

:hug: to you and to us all. We will help in our own way.

2. dry cleaners can do this. if you have a democratic org
Edited on Thu Sep-01-05 09:00 AM by seabeyond
in san diego have them jump on it. i know you do. in amarillo, they are here, i just dont know where. they need to get on calling cleaners to be drop stations. then orginizing it getting to houston. we need people in houston, we have a lot of good people in houston. they need to know what is coming and be able to direct us and join us and help us once we get to houston

this can work. and us, du.

told husband, he wants me to call houston. i want to see what houston dems, and du members are doing. and use them

so help houston

3. Houston folks are some of the best around
I lived there from 1980-1982. I will make some calls. Thanks for the suggestion.

4. cool, cause there is anarchy, and she is good.
she has done a vet rally, and then camp casey

also some houston residents talking about it. i am going onto texas board now. see what they have. i am just ocnfident, they are ahead of me. i wanted it on this board too. why:

guys we have people everywhere. everyone will be behind this. just told my father today. ultra conservative. i started slow, told him just do what he could. layed out plan. in two three minutes. he saw the huge and said i dont have to think about it. whatever you need. i told him, it is that easy

between my husband and my father, we know all business owners in town. lol. its a big city, small town place.
