The Astrodome isn't big enough for the entire state of Louisiana. Does anybody know if refugees will be sent to Denver??
Haven't heard about Denver, but I did hear Dallas and San Antonio mentioned.
The place to send them would be the Pepsi Stadium.
I've e-mailed Denver Red Cross and will call them in the morning...
Send them to Detroit.
No, no, no. The refugees should be sent to Massachusetts, a progressive state who'll welcome them with open arms and wallets.
I went to bed at midnight, but last report I heard said they are sending refugees to Orlando (countered by the fact that most LA convention bookings have also been funneled to Orlando.)
No city can. Sounds like the standard liberal idea of spread the misery.
exactly !
Good thinking...
I wonder how much room is there for them on the Kennedy property? Maybe it could be taken over via Eminent Domain.
Chief Operations Officer B J Coyle of the Denver Red Cross returned my e-mail saying that they haven't been told that survivors would be sent here at this time.
Freeper MileHi heard from local news that some survivors might be brought to the abandoned hangers at Buckley Air Force Base.
Public Affairs Office at Buckley Air Force Base says that the rumor of using facilities there is completely erroneous, simply not possible because of the nature of the missions in operation there.
Hurricane survivors, come to Denver - the Mile High City! No earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, or high crime. Only the occasional blizzard or tornado, but most hazardous weather conditions occur west of the city in the plains region.
Yes, Katrina survivors are coming to Denver. See this link:

I will provide contact info asap.
There is a daily orientation held from 4pm to 6pm at the Red Shield Salvation Army located at 2915 High St. in Denver. Click http://www.mapquest.com for map. This is where you would come to get involved personally or even offer jobs. WALMART is interested in offering employment. If you have any references or leads on jobs for survivors, that info will be most welcome.
All donations need to be made directly to Salvation Army locations. Please do not make person to person donations. They will not be as affective. The survivors make their needs known to the Salvation Army, and the Army supplies that need directly from the list of items that have been donated. If you can, drop off your items at the closest SA location to Lowry at 2205 East Colfax Ave. Click http://www.mapquest.com for map. And be sure to notify a SA employee that your donation is specifically for Katrina survivors.
Cars, radios, televisions, internet computers, phones, toys, games, etc.
