Please Help Us
We have received no federal contact or relief Our supplies are minimum to none We are totally isolated and cut off from the outside world We are desperate for medical supplies We need communication devices We need Food We need transportation and fuel for Generators We have 6000 sheltered and rescued individuals We do not have enough supplies to care for the survivors, nor are we able to sufficiently search for additional survivors. We do not have sufficient supplies for our deputies and Parish government employees who are rescuing those who are stranded Our rescuers are tired and fatigued and may not be able to continue to help survivors We are still rescuing people, but we cannot begin to estimate the number of survivors who are still on rooftops and in attics. We have had contact with LA National Guard and fly overs, but no supplies have been delivered This is a desperate, desperate situation. If we do not receive assistance immediately, many, many more St. Bernard, Louisiana, and U.S. citizens will die. The threat of looting is imminent
Please send help and supplies immediately.
The next LA governor?
This guy has the proper attitude, but I suspect the people who need to know this are not browsing his web site.
WE NEED BOATS to get these people out, We can drop in supplies via air, these folks are not shooting at anyone, they aren't the Rapers and Looters of New Orleans, their Police did not resign, their leadership is there, they haven't dropped "F" Bombs on the President, they are reporting their current situation, all with no help from MSM.

We don't need an OUT there. Things in Iraq are going the right way now, and leaving now would hand the country over to people far worse than the Taliban and Saddham.
Get ahold of yourself, I can hear your knees knocking from here.
TROLL!
Excuse me? I see you're new, welcome to FR. How many troops are there now? And send the link.
President Bush should bypass the Mayor of New Orleans and meet with these folks in Chalmette.

St. Bernard Sheriff: Don't **** Wit' Da Parish.
Bump
These folks deserve more attention than the folks in New Orleans!
