The Hurricane Katrina

  • I believe that this is a terrible disaster

In response I have made two donations:

I made a $100.00 donation to the American Red Cross Hurricane Katrina Fund

I made a $100.00 donation to Oxfam America for Hurrican Katrin Relief

I know this is not some excessive amount of money but I feel that every American should give something - if not money then time if not time then compassion and if not compassion then the realization that you could be in the same situation

We need to move for change in this country - a federal system is only beneficial along as the unity of the member parts can not fend for themselves --

I am willing to donate time to this disaster but practical consideration require me to donate in the form of currency - I am happy to make these donations and I hope they can help

We shall never forget 8-29-2005

Because unlike an external force that attacked our way of life - it was a failure in the government that has lead to the loss of life and maybe somebody will realize that Americans never desire one another to suffer - Middle Class white america is not unsympathetic to the poor -- We will only take so much - Americans care about Americans -- We are a people that may be divided in classes but we are unified in identity and it is such an identiy that shall not be lost by the failure of our government and the politics of the poor -- We shall survive this disaster and realize that if this is the response to a disaster of nature - what would have happened if this had been a terrorist attack
