Here is a sample of the groups that Aruba is targeting, the Georgia Chamber of Commerce:

Twenty weeks of hard work and fierce dedication on the part of more than 500 statewide volunteers paid off on Wednesday, Nov. 9, when David Ratcliffe, President & CEO, Southern Company, and 2005 Chair of the Georgia Chamber announced that the Team Georgia Chamber '05 Membership Campaign had hit and exceeded its target. Though the numbers were still being tabulated – and will continue to grow over the next few weeks – the drive reached its deadline with $1,504,636.

Snip... For 24 of the campaign's top producers and their guests, their next stop is Aruba in January, for the annual post-campaign planning and evaluation session. This five-day excursion to the popular Caribbean island is a mix of relaxing and brainstorming about the 2006 campaign and ways to make it even better.

These normal seeming people must really be heartless.

HOUSTON -- A specialized volunteer search team based in Texas is seeing brighter days thanks to donations and federal grant money.

Texas EquuSearch was $60,000 in debt, but found Tim Miller said the search-and-rescue organization is now making a slow recovery.

Miller said EquuSearch has recently received federal grants and $12,000 in donations.

In December, EquuSearch helped find the bodies of a missing 12-year-old girl, Teketria Buggs, and missing University of Houston-Downtown student, Nate Hendrickson.

The group has also helped in the search of Aruba for missing Alabama teen, Natalee Holloway.

here is my letter to the georgia chamber of commerce:

Why is the Georgia Chamber of Commerce choosing to celebrate and spend American dollars in the drug capital of the Carribean? Are you there for a first hand study of smuggling and looking at the banks and casinos the drug trade has built in Aruba?
ARE YOU GOING TO BUY ANY? What hypocritical buffoons the Georgia Chamber of Commerce seems to be reveling in presenting themselves as...you should be ashamed, but we can be certain this trip is so sex and drug riddled there probably isn't anywhere else to go that could provide you these things (and still have you outright support the drug industry covertly)...What possibly would cause you to go to such a known drug transfer location? What image are you providing those working against the infiltration of drugs in America?

all of this is geared for them to duck without throwing Natalee at them; they'll hear enough about that after they are there, and since they themselves make this drug thing a big issue on their website, it doesn't hurt to have them go there with their eyes wide open***

i know the letters and emails are having their effect bigtime and are wearing the opposition down, while it also appears to have prodded the spin machine into "locating Natalee alive on a nearby island"...sure, aruba; what could be more likely?

They ARE heartless and callous also. It's all about money. They forgot about Natalee Holloway loooooong ago. They want so badly to "bury" this case. It's their full time job to "bury" everything about it. Aruba and that murdering Van der Slut family forgot Natalee within days. They honestly don't CARE, not at all. They care only in that they want to get completely RID of any rememberance that Natalee was ever a tourist there. I DESPISE this lot.
