why isn't there a caravan of concerned citizens
to give people rides?

Did anyone else hear the tourist hiding out on the roof top in NOLA asking the CNN reporter?

I would like to write "FOLLOW ME TO NOLA" on my van fill it up with water and drive to New Orleans. To at least try. My husband doesn't think that we could get in to help.

What does DU think?

1. I thought about this...
but people who are volunteering help are being turned away. They wouldn't let us in.

3. I have friends who are taking their school bus down there
filled with water and food, and several strong people.

They can't stand watching this - not enough being done.

They don't care about the people saying not just to show up - they will find people somewhere who need help and they will help them. They can transport people, supplies, anything.

I wish I could go with them, but at least a good chunk outta my wallet is going with them.
