Formaldehyde Tainted Trailers Revisited

Here we go again. FEMA got busted for forcing the formaldehyde tainted trailers on unsuspecting Americans during the Hurricane Katrina fiasco. Now they want to ship them to HAITI. (AZ Republic January 30, 2010, pg A18) Haven’t these people learning anything yet? This idea is being pushed by the recreational-vehicle and trailer industry.
So far AID (US Agency for International Development)is rejecting the idea as is the Haitian Culture and Communications Minister Marie Laurence Lassegue.

Let your Congress people know what you think about this idea.

AND WE WONDER WHY THEY HATE US

One Island. Two Countries. Only One Devastated

One Island, Hispanola. Two Countries, Haiti and Domician Republic, sharing the same land mass. How is it that Haiti is devastated and the Dominion Republic is unscathed? Natural diasters do not discriminate. What's wrong with this picture?

During Hurricane Katrina the US public raised one billion for the Red Cross and we haven't heard a peep about it since. Just as in business those who have been the most effective on the ground have been the small non profits who have been toiling away, getting the job done. So please find an organization that has been there doing the job and donate to them to insure that the money reaches the people of Haiti in a timely manner.
