Media Pressure Brings Results

Thanks to pressure from the news media, things are finally getting done as they should have in the first place. Sheperd Smith and Geraldo Riviera both deserve excellence in journalism awards. If not for freedom of the press and brave reporters, this disaster would have been much worse! The government had been feigning a sense of control; the press demonstrated that to be false.

I'm overjoyed that things are getting done. People are being evacuated. The prayers of many have been - and will continue to be - answered! :)

Even people in the disaster have been helping others. There was an older man pushing a shoping cart full of diapers, formula and other baby supplies. He has been distributing them to people with children. I hope that there is some sort of citizens medal of valor that will be given to him and others who have helped out.

The armed forces and the coast guard are a God send to those in need. The Coast Guard alone has performed over 5,000 rescues.

Please continue to give. There are still hundreds of thousands in need. It will take a long time for people to rebuild their lives. People need housing, food, water, and employment.
