jennifert9: I watched the show and I made a phone call to donate what I could. I couldn't give alot but if everybody would donate $1 or $5(or whatever we can), we can help alot of people. Small amounts add up to big amounts.
Bravo for you!! What you said here needed to be said. We small people do what we can do and sit in their homes helpless, in tears, and very worried about the outcome of this situation. We are a very rich country. Entertainers and sports figures are paid exorbitant amounts of money for their talent and it's business as usual. Most people have just turned their heads at the staggering numbers of people starving in our back yards every day(prior to Katrina). The time has come, that this should't be happening anymore. I can only hope that the rich and powerful in this country will get out there on the front lines and start distributing food, water, toiletries, and cash. There's no time left for just speculating about it. We all have to come to the aid of these people. I believe it's due time for people like the Wal-Mart execs to be heard. How about these people finding makeshift housing for these displaced people!! Has anyone heard of offers from that company? President Bush should declare Monday or Tuesday as a National Day of Mourning in my opinion. I realize Monday is a holiday but who feels like celebrating anyway when our neighbors are dieing and starving? I usually don't get involved too much in these discussions but I'm just plain sick over what I see(as are all of us). I'm just begging for those people to step up now that are able to do so. Oh how I wish we could all go there and help too.
