Just got this from a friend in Rockaway***please share!!***

Do you know how much the Red Cross charges each hospital annually in the US for their precious blood that is given for free? It's astronomical. I might disagree if they could show me an accurate annual report.

Why would the gov want to clear all civilians from the east coast shoreline. Is my qiestion...... anyone....?

Well, I feel sorry for you (and your family - hope you don't have babies).

When the shit actually does hit the fan, you will be one of the first to die from your own negligence and stupidity.l\

really? you wonder where the money is? trillions going to the military industrial complex and occupation of foreign countries while people sit around and blame food stamps and social security. it goes to banks, it goes to the military. and nobody cares about trillions in empire building, and corporate welfare, black projects and outright corruption. gee, whree does the money go. derpity derp deep

Yeah man that's the attitude to have! . I was unpaid and gave up a week of my life to help flood victims in oz last year. I was flown there by the red cross with 2 hours notice. So many people went to help we had to turn them away! Something like 20,000 people worked for weeks to clean up.
When your in trouble guess what? What goes around comes around..

Don't bother man, these useful idiots are already demoralized to the point where they can't fend for themselves for anything, nothing, nada, fucking zero.

Total losers and repugnant parasites of society.

Actually it does go for food stamps and social security, at least the vast amount of it.

Ever actually look at the federal budget? More than four times the money goes to welfare, food stamps, medicare, social security and other "entitlement" programs than defense.

That's why cutting national defense will do little to get us out of the financial mess we are in. And why it's impossible to balance the budget.

Not true sweetpea, I live in a rural area, have a basement, stocked up water, food, firearms and ammo, and wood stove with a year's worth of wood, kerosene lamps and oil. My faith in the "system" was eroded years ago. However, I still faithfully pay my taxes and listen to the "underground booms" as they spend my money getting themselves nice and safe.

Not true. The President is supposed to handle Hurricane cleanup immediately. I was told this on tv. Obama was supposed to fix it when Bush failed with New Orleans. Why is he delaying like Bush?

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY: Many of you are concerned about Rockaway, and all the coastal areas affected by Hurricane Sandy. As we approach day 3 from the storm, these considerations should be made:
1 - no considerable relief effort is being made for those who chose to wait out the storm. Whether you agree with the decision to stay or not, this means tens of thousands of people now in an area with no real access to food, drinkable water, heat, etc.
2 - effort now needs to be made to deal with immediate needs first, then to move people out of this area to a safe location before things get dire.

Any of you who know the Rockaways well will understand that there is a great economic disparity within a very small area. It would be wonderful to think that everyone will do everything to be helpful and kind to each other, but as of yesterday there was NO efforts being made in the downtown area to provide food/ etc, and there is a recipe for disaster on the burner there.
If you have friends in the area, urge them to take valuable belongings and clothes, and vacate.
If you are thinking of what you can do to help, I wish I knew what to say. The efforts being made in Manhattan do not reflect what is happening in the Rockaways, and the situation is about to transition from the immediate recovery to what the coming long term situation may very well be, which is an area that will have it's major services disconnected, in an effort to force residents to leave. If you feel the need to go and help, either be FULLY prepared to rough it. Not snow-day rough it, wilderness camping rough it. If you need a definition, DO NOT GO. If you have a vehicle and wish to drive, make sure it is 4x4 and that you are an experienced driver. There is no power, no lights.

Supplies to bring and distribute:

water, power bars, granola bars, etc. Think high protein, small space.

Socks, undergarments, baby wipes

Be prepared to drive people out, people you do not know. If they do not want to go, MAKE SURE THEY KNOW THAT THROUGH THURSDAY OF NEXT WEEK, TEMPERATURES WILL BE NO HIGHER THAN 50F DURING THE DAY. This means serious risk of hypothermia for those with no capability to full warm and dry themselves.

And remember, there is no gas in NYC at the moment. Do not make the situation worse by becoming another person in need there. Use your head. Call your local representatives, re-post this. The only efforts there right now are grass-roots, and if we all put our energy into keeping those affected safe, we can keep this from becoming a bigger disaster than it already is. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

VOTE GREEN. VOTE THIRD PARTY. MAKE SURE YOU VOTE. SEND A CLEAR MESSAGE AMERICA. KICK THEM TO THE CURB NOW. DO IT.

I think its quite obvious to most that obama cares none about americans, especially white ones.

Thanks OP. I wish the news wouldn't gloss over what is happening on the East Coast. They really played up Katrina, bu they are trying to play this down to get Obama re-elected.

I have heard the environmentalist say not to rebuild the jersey shore. I must agree. And extend the idea to New Orleans as well. You can't win against Mother Nature

BULLSHIT. Maybe in other countries there are problems but not close to home. Your making matters worse by telling people not to help. Go local and go donate goods rather than money or find some local church groups.

Yeah, like people are going to get up, drop everything and go drive into a hell hole only to get robbed and beat down, and abused by sewer rats that haven't eaten in days.

FUCK DAT.

I'm not a big fan of the Red Cross. The volunteers do yeoman's work, but the administration is top heavy with known waste and corruption. Remember the squabbles over the 9/11 fund and the debacle of emergency fund debit cards used to pay for lap dances after Katrina?

I donate to the Salvation Army. My money, my choice.

To rebuild it into something else under FED control.

Sorry I was so harsh. Just tired of the 'whiney tirades' of victims. Glad you are prepped. I am as well (although not as much as I would like do to $$$$, but working to add all of the time).

I too, faithfully pay my taxes and we put up with constant earthquakes as a result of 'fracking'. Moved to the country to get away from city 'rules' about what I could do with my own property.

My faith in the system is long gone too.

VOTE GREEN. VOTE THIRD PARTY. MAKE SURE YOU VOTE. SEND A CLEAR MESSAGE AMERICA. KICK THEM TO THE CURB NOW. DO IT.
