Survivors
The lack of aid for the survivors of the hurricane in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama is DISGRACEFUL. The administration hasn’t a clue to the extent of the catastrophe in New Orleans. It has been 5 days since people had a drink of water. People are dying of thirst, lack of medicine and food.

Thugs are terrorizing the city of New Orleans. Hospitals are sending out SOS’s for aid, medicines and rescue... The few officials left in the city have been spread too thin to keep order. Many looters have been searching for food and water. The Dead are left to float in the flood waters. Those dying in the Convention Center of New Orleans while waiting for rescue are covered with sheets and left on the sidewalk as thousands sit in 100 degree heat and wait for help to arrive.

Busses are beginning to pick up survivors at the Superdome and transfer them to the Astrodome in Houston but instead accepting 25,000 evacuees as planned; the Astrodome can only accept 7,000. Volunteers are making an effort to help in anyway possible… but where is the military?
