Aid Flotilla to Haiti
Ron Mossad came up with such a brilliant idea. I like it, because as a Haitian, I want help for Hait and why not -especially after hearing that there is money earmarked --EARMARKED- for Haiti help, but is not being used.
Okay, time to whip out my tehillim book. Time to make noise about this in the world as well.
Shalom Miriam, I heard that only 10% of the pledged billions have reached Haiti and that the 1.5 billion the U.S. pledged has not arrived because it's being held up by the U.S.Congress.Geraldo Riviera spoke about it last week on Fox news and what needs to be done is put pressure on the congressman who is stopping it.I can't remember his name,but as usual one naysayer or one objector has halted the entire works!
I sent some emails to encumbants and those still in office on the gobernatorial level. I don't know if that was helpful. I'm not the activist. If anyone steps up with a better plan...
