I will just have to say we are a Republic form of government and we elect representatives to vote in our best interests. 90% can feel that it is wrong, but if the elected representatives think otherwise - to bad so sad.

You power is in your vote. There is no mob-rule.

I do NOT agree with the premise that allocating funds in the budgetary process for international and domestic disaster relief is wrong. Therefore, the president can make the decision to spend those funds on this crisis. If he needs more, the elected representatives can determine the amount if any is going to be allocated at all.
