i believe the government should fix this problem already. its been almost 3 years already. if not with the people who can't get help but with the ones with the next disaster, we should allow the refugees to be placed in the abandoned military bases in the government houses. just a thought

Great Job!!! With the American people turning more and more to alternative media, this is the type of thing that is needed. Real News. This should be headline news and not Britney or Paris. JFK stated that it is the media that shapes public opinion. More and more are waking up to the political bias of the main stream media to shift the mood of the public as they see fit. Can't wait to see more of these types of events.

Thanks David and keep up the good work!
