BOSTON - Senator John Kerry, Chairman of the Commerce Subcommittee on Communications, Technology, and the Internet, today commented on efforts by the telecommunications industry in providing communications expertise, equipment and manpower to earthquake ravaged Haiti, as well as on the industry's massive fundraising effort which made Wednesday the biggest day in history for mobile phone generated charity. Facebook and Twitter are also serving as a tool for giving. "Last night at a community meeting on this awful earthquake, I heard story after story of people who can't reach their loved ones back in Haiti. The devastation has made communications service largely inoperable, making it difficult to assess and respond to the damage efficiently, and it also caused additional anguish for families who can't get in touch with each other. We've got to move rapidly to get this problem addressed.

As far as I know, all the communication equipment in the US worked just fine. Kerry (who served in Vietnam) needs to understand that Hati is not part of the US. It’s their damn problem
Hey,John Kerry (who served in Vietnam)
Hey John F’ing Kerry:
You throw like a girl and you fail at paragraphs.
Unbelievable. Here is a guy who probably has never picked up a screwdriver in his life directing real people on what they have to do to solve a problem. Typical liberal who thinks that problems can be solved by talking about them.
John: Get a real job, please.
