"I urge you to commit an act of civil disobedience and SPEAK UP"

From my dear friend, who expresses this so much better than I can at this time:

Dear Friends:

I'm sure many of you were shocked and appalled by the ghastly images parading on screen for the past five days: corpses littering roads and being eaten by rats, elderly sick women gasping for medical help that they have no chance of receiving, and children wading through pools of urine in a darkened "relief center".

The accompanying stories have been no less horrific: absence of food and water for survivors for five days, 10 year olds raped and murdered amongst huddled crowds at a relief center, the glaring absence of federal or local law officials, and fianlly, and most disturbing, the smirking visage of a smug president who told hurricane survivors after four days of suffering to BE PATIENT, and that "help is on its
way", and then told the rest of the nation to be quiet and send money.

I urge you to commit an act of civil disobedience and SPEAK UP. Please contact your congressional representative and demand the formation of a commission to properly investigate this second disaster in mismanagement and assign accountability to the complacent parties.

Who knows? The way things are going with this administration, the life you save may be your own.


Thank You,

Priya
