Work in your own way, however you can, locally and nationally, to help the victims of the storm. Those people feel abandoned and ignored; we need to show them otherwise. Work towards recovery IN SPITE OF our government and ineffective leaders.

In the meantime, keep alert at what else is going on in the world. Watch Iraq, watch civil rights and liberties, pay attention to the real economy on the ground in our country. Do not let the spinmasters divert our attention so the Rich White Guys can take advantage of the lack of attention. You can bet they will try.

Be nice, and help where and when you can.
