FINISH THE JOB - If Each Person in U.S. Donates $1.00 . . .

we all can help Finish the Job of rebuilding Mississippi after Katrina.
FINISH THE JOB FUND
Click the link and PLEASE WATCH the video.



Recovery money from national relief agencies for Katrina survivors is running low. Two years after the worst natural disaster in this nation's recorded history, there are still tens of thousands of Mississippi families living in cramped travel trailers or unsafe storm-damaged homes.
Long term recovery organizations are coming together to Finish the Job. We are putting priority on helping those with the greatest needs—low to moderate income elderly and disabled people and single parent families. Despite our best efforts, there is a backlog! Thousands of people are still waiting for help.
PLEASE DONATE!



PLEASE check out the following videos, they will provide great insight into what Katrina was and what she did :

DESPERATELY SEEKING SWAMP

The following is from an incredibly wonderful, yet tragic and endearing story about a man named Denny Holmberg who is just trying to get on with his endangered life two-plus years after Katrina.
If your heart's desire is an amazing swamp tour, read the story and go take a tour – you'll have yourself an adventure and help someone who truly deserves and needs it.
________________

"WEST PEARL RIVER, La. – Denny Holmberg is trying to get by with a little help from his friends: alligators, turtles, flying squirrels, bass and gar, wild boar and 29 different kinds of spiders, just to name a few. Oh, and don’t forget a handful of kind-hearted humans.

Two years after Katrina swamped his once-thriving swamp tour business, Holmberg is still in a world of hurt. In a cruel encore to the hurricane’s devastation, Holmberg was hit just after the storm by a recurrent brain tumor that had been in remission for a decade. Surgery and drugs have left him subject to frequent seizures, unable to run his business, down to his last few dollars and wondering how he’ll pay for another operation.

“Eeeaaahhhh!” bellows Holmberg from his moss-draped compound on the banks of the Pearl River. . ."

KATRINA AID GOES TO FOOTBALL CONDOS - Tuscaloosa, AL

After reading the GUARDIAN article, "Katrina Aid Goes Toward Football Condos," I became so disgusted that I haven't been able to think straight.
GUARDIAN


I am outraged to say the least!!! I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY WE ALL AREN'T MARCHING IN THE STREETS!!! Down on our Mississippi Gulf Coast, just sub Football with "Tourists" or rich folks who want a 2nd. or 3rd. "Get-Away" and you have the same situation.


Are condos, such as those listed on the MS Go Zone site, supposed to help the people on the coast who NEED A HOUSE TO LIVE IN??????

HAVE YOU SEEN AND READ OVER THE GO ZONE SITE???

DOES the GENERAL PUBLIC UNDERSTAND THIS SCAM which was PUT TOGETHER by TRENT LOTT and ALL OF HIS BIG MONEY PALS????

WHY ARE PEOPLE LIKE LOTT, BARBOUR, and BUSH (who signed Lott's bill) CONTINUING TO GET AWAY WITH THIS KIND OF CRAP?

WHO DO YOU THINK IT IS BENEFITING?

WOULD SOMEONE EXPLAIN TO ME WHY AN INVESTOR IN CALIFORNIA SHOULD BENEFIT FROM KATRINA BY PURCHASING INVESTMENT PROPERTY – CONDOS? YET AFTER TWO YEARS, PEOPLE ARE IN NEED OF A REAL HOME AND THEY CAN'T GET DIDDLY-SQUAT!!!


MS GO ZONE PROJECTS


Example:
Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
SOUTH BEACH BILOXI RESORT & SPA, A MONUMENTAL PROJECT IS TRANSFORMING BILOXI INTO A DYNAMIC LIVE-WORK-PLAY DESTINATION. –– (too bad this is not happening for the folks who are truly in NEED)

A sleek, contemporary landscape, with gaming excitement, bustling nightlife, upscale dining, world-class entertainment and an unparalleled service standard will soon take center stage. WILL YOU BE THERE? –– (where will the "uparalleled service" people be living that are supposed to be working "there"???)

WILL YOU BE ONE OF THE PRIVILEGED FEW TO LIVE THE DREAM OF BEACHFRONT LIVING? –– (THIS LINE TOPS IT ALL! This caption makes me want to hurl and/or punch someone...This remark is an insult to the very people who have lived and worked on the coast for GENERATIONS!!! This smart-ass remark has NOTHING to do with helping "the people" who lost everything to Katrina -- EXCUSE ME!! THIS IS PROFITEERING by the CARPETBAGGERS RUNNING the "BIGGER AND BETTER" SHOW)
