Here's How You Can Make an Immediate Difference in Louisiana ...a message from Michael Moore

Friends,

There is much to be said and done about the manmade annihilation of New Orleans, caused NOT by a hurricane but by the very specific decisions made by the Bush administration in the past four and a half years. Do not listen to anyone who says we can discuss all this later. No, we can't. Our country is in an immediate state of vulnerability. More hurricanes and other disasters are on the way, and a lazy bunch of self-satisfied lunatics are still running the show.

So, in the next few days, I will write to you about what must be done about Bush and Co.

But today I want you to join with me in bypassing the colossally inept and incompetent Bush administration and get help DIRECTLY to the people of the New Orleans area -- right now.

A lot of you have written me to ask what you can do. Many don't know who to trust. Many want to do more than write a check. You are right to think that writing checks to relief agencies will not get water and aid to people in the next 48 hours. Checks will be needed later and can be written later.

I have a way, though, for each and every one of us to do something today that can affect people's lives TODAY.

For the past few days I've been working with a group that, I guarantee you, will get direct aid to the people who need it most.

Cindy Sheehan, the brave woman who dared to challenge Mr. Bush at his summer home, has now sent her Camp Casey from in front of Bush's ranch to the outskirts of New Orleans. The Veterans for Peace have taken all the equipment and staff of volunteers and set up camp in Covington, Louisiana, on the shores of Lake Pontchartrain. They are accepting materials and personally distributing them to those in need and have been going into New Orleans on a daily basis.

This is where we come in. We need to ship supplies to them immediately. Today they need the following: Bottled Water (and lots of it!), baby diapers, baby wipes, baby formula, Pedialyte, baby items in general, powder, lotion, handy wipes, sterile gloves, electrolytes, LARGE cans of veggies, school supplies, paper plates, paper towels, toilet paper, and anything else to lift people's spirits.

You can ship these items by following the instructions on VFPRoadTrips.org. Or you can deliver them there in person. The roads to Covington are open. Their address is:

Volunteer Kitchen, Food Bank and Distribution Center
Pine View Middle School
1115 West 28th Avenue Covington, LA.
70434

Here's how to get there. You can drop them off or you can stay and participate (if you stay, you'll be camping so bring your own tent and gear and mosquito spray).

If you can't ship these items or go there in person, then go to VFPRoadTrips.org and make an immediate donation through PayPal. Camp Casey-Covington will have immediate access to this cash and can buy the items themselves from stores that are open in Louisiana (all donations to Veterans for Peace, are tax deductible).

Each day I will post up-to-the minute information as to what is needed and the progress Camp Casey is making. Please visit MichaelMoore.com often and do what you can to help.

Many other groups are also doing good work. MoveOn.org has set up a system for people to offer rooms in their homes to the survivors.

There is no time to waste. People are suffering and dying. Each of us can do something. There is no other alternative.

Thank you in advance for your help. Tomorrow, we will take care of the other work we need to do about the ideologically hamstrung incompetents in charge.

Yours,
Michael Moore

Notice that MM left off the requests for all the fancy multimedia and computer equipment, such the request for the $600 iPods and the $3,000 computer monitors.

He's also left out the VFP's main claim that they are "supporting" the Red Cross. (I guess he doesn't think even his dupes will buy that one.)

MM also claims that all of the VFP are down in Covington. Which is of course a damnable lie, as only a handful are. In fact, most of their geriatric members are still on the three bus tours with Mother Sheehan.

Note too that MM also re-asserts the dubious claim that all donations to Veterans For Peace are tax deductible. But none of this mendacity should surprise us.

For Michael Moore is backing an outrageous fraud which is clearly designed to line the pockets of the Veterans For Peace and help them score some money and fancy equipment for their unrelenting hate-America propaganda campaign.

This money and equipment is being raised for the VFP's Support The Terrorists bus tours and their September 24th Pro-Terrorist rally in DC.

They are exploiting the victims of Katrina to raise money for their America-hating agit-prop mission. They are shamelessly diverting money that would otherwise go to these people for themselves.

It just doesn't get any more despicable than that.

Just when you thought he and Cindy couldn't go any lower.

[EagleUSA]

Maggot losers. And that is being kind.

[atomicpossum]

Typical bolshevik tactic, though. Fund the Revolution by collecting for the downtrodden.

It seems like the prevaricating beached whale has hitched himself to something that could backfire. The Red Cross has been informed by a number of FReepers, myself included, that Veterans for Peace is soliciting $ for fancy computer equipment. Getting busted for a scam couldn't happen to nicer bunch of folks.

And thanks, Sam Hill, for bringing that VFP story to our attention and now this too.

[RexBeach]

Is there anything that Cindy Sheehan doesn't whine about?...Michael "Fat Farm" Moore?

Hey, Mike. Try a salad!

[softwarecreator]

Just when you thought he and Cindy couldn't go any lower.

She's a mediawhore, nothing more (hey, that rhymes).  Anyone who believes this is all about "casey" is stupid, pure and simple.  She's a paid crusader for the left.  The whole Anti-War thing failed miserably, despite total compliance by the MSM, and they are now looking for a new cause for Mama Sheehan to champion.

She's yesterday's news.

[Txsleuth]

Shoot, even Schmukie Schumer was sending out donation requests on a letter to DNC members...before someone (freeper?) discovered it...and pointed it out...

Now, the donation request is gone, and one for the VICTIMS has replaced it..

[Sam Hill]

"And thanks, Sam Hill, for bringing that VFP story to our attention and now this too."

It hasn't been easy since the moderators insist on moving this information off of the news/activism section.

I just don't get it.

[manic4organic]

I've been to Covington. I'm not so sure those folks will welcome Big Boy with open arms. Not that they could reach around him anyway.

[Sam Hill]

"She's yesterday's news."

She isn't, and you are kidding yourself if you think she is.

She is being used by MM and the VFP to raise untold dollars for the ultra left.

Just because you don't want to hear about it doesn't make it not news.

[stickandpucknut]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LET THE WACKOS fall in the water and get a moutful of what there spewing

[Thrusher]

Great. Here we are trying to clean all of the sewage and contaminated garbage OUT of Louisiana, and now they are sending in Camp Crappy.

[popdonnelly]

Michael Moore doesn't have a brain in his head. He's incapable of critical thinking. All he is capable of doing is blaming Bush.

[meandog]

Question: If one socked that heap of goo, Moore, in the gut do you suppose there would be so much fat-producing suction, that one could not retrieve his fist?

[Volunteer]

"Maggot losers. And that is being kind."

I respectfully disagree. Maggots are far better than Mr. Moore.

[Sam Hill]

"There is no time to waste. People are suffering and dying. Each of us can do something. There is no other alternative."

That's right, there is no other alternative. You have to give money to the VFP and their point man, Ward Reilly, who has pretended for years he was a Vietnam Combat Veteran. Otherwise the victims of Katrina would have no where to turn.

You have to give this money to the VFP so they can "support the Red Cross." Don't give your money directly to the Red Cross for God's sake.

"Thank you in advance for your help. Tomorrow, we will take care of the other work we need to do about the ideologically hamstrung incompetents in charge."

Where this money is really going. Don't kid yourself otherwise. It's all about funding the ultra left.

Why is this fraud not illegal?

[Psycho_Bunny]

On a side note, I love that picture....and the others I've seen with Mr. McFattypants and "Tears" Sheehan because though I can't claim that I'm an exceptionally gentlemanly type of guy, even I would take my hat off in the presence of a woman who's crying.

Especially if the hat were a baseball cap.

To me, it's a little physical reminder that either Moore is a complete and total pig, or he's simply using Cindy to achieve his own goals....or, more probably, both.

It's only wrong if conservatives do it.
