Rescue
People displaced by the Hurricane should be not disrespectfully characterized as “refugees” – as if they are fleeing to or from another land. We are U.S. citizens and deserve to be treated as such. This is our land; it is our families, friends, schools and churches, and homes affected – and our government must be responsible and accountable to us.
Relief
We need to identify the locations of the relief centers being established by the Red Cross and other agencies; and how and where relief supplies and resources can be distributed.
We need a freeze on mortgage payments and a moratorium on mortgage foreclosure proceedings, amnesty from electrical, utility and telecommunications payments, and a freeze on implementation of the new bankruptcy law.
