Who Can Help NOW

It’s time to ask for help from your friends and neighbours Canada & Mexico.

Canada for one has well trained emergency response teams and military to help out… in a pinch we could send some Mounties too.

Mexico has an army who are used to dealing with disasters in the Gulf & could help.

Bush just needs to ask us… after the whole Iraq thing we’re still treading on thin ice and really don’t want to piss the cowboy off again… so he needs to ask.

He won’t though so here’s where you can help. Start writing your news outlets and ask for help from America’s friends. We understand people are suffering and dying and we will help. We would be happy to. We want to.

So you talk to your peeps down south and I’ll start writing to the PM up here and our newspapers… calling all Canucks… get on the horn!

Time is of the essence. Bush, show real courage and ASK FOR HELP FOR THE PEOPLE SUFFERING IN YOUR COUNTRY.

In absence of that… Kossacks, MLW’ers and Tribbers unite in our call for a sane and swift response.

Troops from around the country sent in NOW and help from us too.

Peace

Several European countires including Britain and, I believe France, have teams of sniffer dogs trained to find anybody buried and can also find the bodies of the dead under the debris.

I was thinking who could get there quickest, but for sure, let’s send the kind of forces we sent for the tsunami… ask the UK and France for help to!

Cdn Red Cross (link):

In response to Hurricane Katrina which has pummelled the coast of Louisiana and Mississippi, the American Red Cross has launched its largest ever mobilization of resources for a single disaster.

“We have offered our colleagues in the United States our full support for this disaster,” said Don Shropshire, National Director, Disaster Services, Canadian Red Cross.

“At present the American Red Cross has not requested any type of donations from the Canadian public for Hurricane Katrina. We do however encourage Canadians who wish to help to contribute to our 2005 Hurricane Relief Fund, to assist the most vulnerable victims of hurricanes this season.”

Also Cdn Salvation Army has a link for donations to the American Salvation Army.

We have to remember that the mayor of NO, Nagin, has said that there is a major communications problem, so it is understandable that foreign countries will offer assistance and then wait to see what exactly will be needed. This may be why we haven’t seen any foreign feet on the ground…?

Perhaps, but in the case of the tsunami those countries immediately said ~ we need help ~ and then everyone started coordinating. In this case, other than the folks in LA and MS, no one is asking… the Red Cross for sure, but not the actual governments.

Just this morning on CNN the former mayor of NO was begging Bush to send help for the trapped people… this is not a good sign…

  If the mayor is still begging for help at this stage … It makes me wonder if they (local, state, federal) are even communicating at all?
