We need to AIRLIFT IN THE WATER OURSELVES
Bush and his cronies aren't going to do it. They think this is a chance to "let" black people die and blame it on "Katrina".

Call ANYONE who knows someone who knows someone who might have a helicopter. Call your Senators / Congresspeople and make them demand WATER.

Boats and food and medical supplies and shelter will be worthless if people don't get clean water NOW.

9. It appears that the only chance we have to help is to pray for rain.
And a huge dark cloud to keep the sun off of them. But not too much rain, just enough to cool them off and give them a drink. Yes, we are now officially a third world country.
