Disaster victims in the US need help

There has been an unusual number of natural disasters in the United States. I am talking about floods, fires, and tornados. There has been no help for SW Georgia peanut farmers 6 months after Hurricane Michael. Congress does its usual and hangs on to money intended to help while each individual member works on his or hers pet projects.  People who need the help are getting hurt by lack of concern and action from our government. A hungry person or one who has no place to stay can't wait for Congress to study the situation and take an additional 6 months to a year to act.

There are things the American people can do while our Government sits on its behind. Choose a way that suits you. Call the Salvation Army and ask if they are helping on any natural disasters. Donate money earmarked to help the disaster of your choice. Call the Red Cross and ask if they are working on any natural disasters. Ask for the DR # of the disaster. Donate money in the form of a money order or a check. Write on them, For victims of DR#_______. That way the money will be used for only that disaster. Contact your local church and ask how they are helping. Get involved that way.

If you pray please include the families and victims of natural disasters in your prayers. Include them in your positive thoughts if you do not pray. Ask others to follow the teachings of their faith in helping their fellow man.

Lets not forget our Government officials and their devotion to their personal agendas. Election time will roll around around for each of them.  Vote for their opponent.

Call and remind each of them that they were voted in to help people. Come election time, they can just as easy be voted out. Ask if they plan to do anything different.

Georgia tornado victims need help

Tornado's struck Georgia this past weekend. Last death toll was 20. These people lost everything except what they were wearing.

Contact your local Red Cross if you want to donate money. On a check or money order write in note section for victims of the January 21-22, 2017 tornado's. That way the money is used only for them. You can also contact the Salvation Army to see if they are helping. Ask your church or community service organizations if they are taking up donations to help.

Pray for the victims, their families, and friends. If you do not pray, keep them in your positive thoughts.
