Actually, CBS here in NY conveniently started covering the aftermath heavily the daybafter the election.
interesting you said that. looky what just popped into my email account, from moveon.org. they have just discovered “Sandy” and all the damage. do they blame Barry for the 10 days after and the suffering, no. but they do have 5 fav charities you can donate to (one of them being move.org) for Sandy’s “desperate and suffering”. where were they before the election? sending emails multiple times daily about re-electing “the One”. NOW, they discover the people in Jersey and New York.
Dear MoveOn member,
The media may have moved on from Hurricane Sandy, but ten days after the storm hit, hurricane victims are in serious trouble in the greater New York area.
Hundreds of thousands still have no electricity. Many don’t have running water. With temperatures dropping to the 30s, many are freezing with no heat. In the hardest-hit neighborhoods, many still don’t have working toilet facilities.
It’s hard to believe. But it’s gotten so bad that Doctors Without Borders has set up its first-ever disaster relief effort in the U.S.1
MoveOn members in the area have been volunteering for days, but now we’re asking MoveOn members across the country to help. We’ve identified five local community organizations that are doing some of the best relief work—providing hot meals, distributing supplies, helping residents dig out—and they could desperately use our help.
Can you chip in to help them? MoveOn.org Civic Action will cover the credit card fees so every dollar of your donation goes to these organizations helping people in dire need.
Yes, I can donate to help provide vital relief.
Thanks for all you do.
