An Iowa town that was flooded last year is hoping a unique email and
video campaign brings a deluge of donations to help fix the levee that
saved it.
The town of Hamburg, Iowa, rolled out a campaign on Monday to raise
as much as $4.6 million to fix the barrier that stands between it and
the unforgiving Missouri River. Last year, the levee was built up an
additional 8 feet with the help of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and
held back waters that reached 17 feet during a 120-day period in which
the river swelled. But now, the feds say the extra dirt must either come
off or the entire levee must be rebuilt permanently.

Too many white people for Obama to care.
It was easy enough to make a donation via PayPal.
