Thread: Where are They?????

Where are they?



Where are the Hollywood celebrities holding telethons asking for help in restoring Iowa and helping the folks affected by the floods? Where is good old Michael Moore?


Why is the media NOT asking the tough questions about why the federal government hasn't solved this problem?
...Asking where the FEMA trucks and trailers and food services are?


Why isn't the Federal government moving Iowa people into free hotels in Chicago and Minneapolis ?


When will Spike Lee say that the Federal government blew up the levees that failed in Des Moines ?


Where are Sean Penn, Bono, and the Dixie Chicks?


Where are all the looters stealing high-end tennis shoes, cases of beer and television sets?

When will we hear Governor Chet Culver say that he wants to rebuild a 'vanilla' Iowa .. because that's what God wants?

Where is the hysterical 24/7 media coverage complete with reports of shootings at rescuers, of rapes and murder?


Where are all the people screaming that Barack Obama hates white, rural people? My God, where are Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, Oprah, and Ray Coniff Jr?

How come you will never hear about the
Iowa flooding ever again?

Where are the government bail out vouchers? The government debit cards?



There must be one hell of a big difference between the value of the people of Iowa and value of the people of Louisiana. Pass this unedited, un-doctored, factual information forward ..... to get Americans thinking. Where the hell are all the people that think the Haitians are more important than the good people of Iowa, for that matter.



I had some awesome pictures with this email but I couldn't get them over for you to see..but anyways WHERE ARE THEY???????



Kathyet

And where are all the Gov't offices checking on what the Katrina cards were used on......
Case in point.......my daughter was checking out the jewelry counter at Mervyns.....just "wishing and dreaming".........a black lady is buying a BIG diamond necklace next to her.....and she hands the clerk a credit card.....the clerk says...."wait a minute....I have never seen a Katrina card b/4.....let me call my manager"....so my daughter hangs around cause she is now curious....the credit card was accepted to buy this BIG diamond necklace....why wasn't this checked up on?????????????

FEMA could run out of rebuilding money

By Thomas Frank, USA TODAY
Updated 5/26/2011 9:32 PM |

WASHINGTON — The federal government could run out of money to help communities such as Joplin, Mo., rebuild from the recent devastating tornadoes and flooding.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has $2.4 billion in its Disaster Relief Fund to last through Sept. 30 and is seeking $1.8 billion for the fiscal year that begins Oct. 1. Lawmakers from both parties say those sums are not enough to pay for the billions in damage caused by the extraordinary string of weather-related disasters this spring.

"FEMA will have to stop recovery efforts in 50 states in the spring of 2012" without additional money for disaster relief, Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., wrote in a letter to her colleagues. She heads the Senate panel that oversees FEMA finances.

The administration acknowledged Thursday that FEMA could run out of disaster-relief money. The relief fund "could be solvent until calendar year 2012," Meg Reilly, a spokeswoman for the Office of Management and Budget, said in an e-mail. "But that will depend on the summer storm season and other factors."

FEMA Chief Financial Officer Norm Dong said in a blog post Tuesday that the $2.4 billion will pay for "life-saving and life-sustaining efforts" in heavily damaged areas by helping people get food, shelter and clothing.

Beyond offering immediate assistance, FEMA is vital to disaster recovery because it pays at least 75% of long-term projects, such as rebuilding schools, hospitals and roads. Dong did not say whether FEMA will have enough cash to pay for those projects.

If the disaster fund dips below $1 billion, the agency will stop approving rebuilding projects until the fund is replenished, FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate told a House hearing in April.

"For communities to feel good about themselves, they have to know help is on the way," said Pat Hall, Iowa's disaster-recovery coordinator. "It's not the first 60 days after a disaster. It's when you see that first building go up, when you see that bridge replaced, when you see debris gone that you know recovery is happening."

Last year, Iowa had to delay $340 million in rebuilding projects from disasters that occurred in 2008 and 2010, Hall said, because FEMA's disaster fund ran low and the agency stopped approving long-term recovery projects from Feb. 1 to Aug. 1, until Congress approved an additional $5.1 billion. Hall said people in Joplin should be "very worried" about FEMA's funding level.

Since 1989, FEMA's disaster fund has received 83% of its cash from mid-year emergency infusions, according to the Congressional Research Service. The Obama administration has made no decision on whether to seek such a replenishment, Reilly said.

On Wednesday, the Republican-controlled House Appropriations Committee proposed doubling the disaster fund next year to $3.65 billion.

FEMA's $1.8 billion request was based on a long-standing practice of seeking funds equal to average annual disaster costs in recent years, excluding major events such as Hurricane Katrina.

Where are they?

Where are the Hollywood celebrities holding telethons asking for help in restoring Iowa and helping the folks affected by the floods? Where is good old Michael Moore?

When will Spike Lee say that the Federal government blew up the levees that failed in Des Moines ?

Where are Sean Penn, Bono, and the Dixie Chicks?




But we do have some information from you John Doe and this site I found... plus from churches, red cross, various web sites, etc...but again I reiterate "where are they"???? No telethon, no big pleas for aid, we had live aid, farm aid, Katrina aid just to mention a few... hmmmm but where are they?
