Ignored cries for help in America

Humanitarian aid delays for American victims of the US military Gulf oil and chemical dispersant attacks is a matter of life and death. WWL TV reports on one family of many submitting aid requests for Toxic Survival Kits, insurance and relocation assistance. Aid available is not meeting the needs but with more reports like WWL's, those suffering have a better chance of survival.

1. This is a crooked report to collect money

The links of this report take the victim to something called Gulf Coast Barefoot Doctors, which has prominent call for donation of $25 US dollars. There are many false reports being made to people who are kind, they read all these lies, and then they donate their money. Be careful with these type of people.

A better report of condisions in found if you read the New Orleans Lousiana newspaper called Picayune. And if you visit the government website for the response, restorethegulf.

6. Exactly how do these Gulf borne dispersants get to Ohio?

Or, is this a case of Ohioans that experienced these symptoms
after returning back home from the Gulf

Seriously. :shrug:
