Here is some of what California is doing to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina. In addition, the University Sytem is opening it's doors to students in the affected area for placement. There are hurricane relief drives in virtually every city in the State. While described as the left coast of the USA, Californians are well aware of disastrous events, like wild fires and earthquakes, and their consequences, and are responding like communities all over the USA to events on the Gulf Coast.
I hear we are getting $$ from other countries. Saudi Arabia is giving about $20 million and are pumping more oil. Frankly, we do not need their help. We have spent billions of $$ to protect the playboy princes of the Kingdom, and what do we get, nothing but exported terrorists killing innocent civilians in the USA and elsewhere.
