Canada's already sending quite a bit of help in teams, but I know what you're saying.

We're sure not going to get the kind of help that we give.

Fortunately, Americans have this wonderful "can do" spirit. We will take care of each other.

Rescue the helpless, bury the dead, feed and shelter the living and rebuild what was lost.

That offer was only good until they figured out it was PC to appear to offer help. Now I saw on FOXX that Germany was offering help, they're so usefull in Iraq that I can't imagine what they can do in NO. Sad

If Canada wants to help us, maybe they can patrol thier border! Wink

We stand alone as a beacon of freedom, hope and compassion around the world. We will stand alone once more as we spend our National treasure to recover from our National tragedy.

We can't blame people for living where they do as roots run deep for most of the folks in these areas. If a major earthquake hit New York City would we blame New Yorkers for living there? No we would help them to recover and rebuild.

Only God knows his overall plan for us and we just need to up for the challenges he sends our way. That is National Resolve.

Cool

Chavez plans to offer oil to aid U.S. poor

Published August 30, 2005

CARACAS, VENEZUELA -- After a four-hour closed-door meeting Monday, Jesse Jackson and Venezuela President Hugo Chavez announced a plan to help the poor in the United States weather the storm of rising fuel costs this winter.

Chavez said that the Venezuelan-owned, Texas-based Citgo Petroleum Co. would offer to poor schools, hospitals, churches and other groups 66,000 barrels a day of oil products refined at its U.S. plants.

Oil Minister Rafael Ramirez said Chavez has offered heating oil to be sold directly to communities, avoiding retailers, to bring down costs, Ramirez said. Details of the plan would have to be settled. Jackson called it "a brilliant idea."
