Good for Jim going out there to help these folks who have been devistatedby the floods! I am sure they need all the help they can get, just like New Orleans.

One of the few Democrats I am actually glad I voted for.
ReplyDeleteRoyal plus will be there if there is federal money involved!!!!
ReplyDeleteI am very thankful for whatever help can be had. My entire family and hometown is in Cedar Rapids. The devastation is awful. If you want to see what these poor people are really dealing with go look at the pictures on www.gazetteonline.com . A lot of history gone. It truly sucks.

Notice the difference in coverage of the Mississippi floodings vs Katrina floodings? Why arent the local governments calling for FEMA and Military intervention? Why arent the Activists demanding the govt intercede? Where are the lootings and gang violence? Because the folks in this part of the country are motivated to save their own communities, not call the govt for handouts!
ReplyDeleteJim Mathias looks out for one thing, himself. Did that when he was the Mayor, and still does. He works for Royal Plus, and bet your last dollar thats why he's there, but on who's dime. This would really be worth exploring.
