You DO have the power, ask your mayor to help hurricane victims

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

It is time for the Progressives to take matters into their own hands.
We have this power, if we know how to use it:

I urge each of you to contact the mayor of your city and ask them to
do as other mayors are doing in other cities - offer lodging and
assistance to hurricane victims in your city.

Let hotels and motels provide rooming, cruise ships house people,
provide food, room and shelter.

Astrodomes are not intended as living quarters, and it is absolutely
ludicrous to put people there, when there are so many better
solutions.

If our federal govt doesn't care, then work locally!

It will help people, it will get the job done, and it will paint the
picture of truth more vividly than anything else we can do.

SHOW THE CONSERVATIVES WHAT THE FEDERAL GOVT SHOULD DO BUT FAILED TO
DO.

Our local officials are accountable to us, still. Urge them to
be good samaritans NOW. People are dying, for no good reason.

Please urge citizens in your locality to join you in contacting your
mayor to provide shelter for some of the hurricane vicyims.
You can do that tonight and all through the week-end.
