great. now they just have to find a way to distribute the supplies. The airport is slap full of supplies but they just cant get them to the people.

I think he was just planning on doing a fly-by, open the side doors and push the goods out directly to the affected areas.

At least he's doing something. Have you done anything#1? Probably not.

I hope none of it has an expiration date on it or the haitians will not use it.

A group from Rock Springs is leaving tonight to travel to Haiti(J.T. Sutton, Don Mapp, Jon Baker, and Jo Howell). Please keep them in your prayers.

Why the smart arse remark? Im just sayin that they cant get the supplies to the people. Im not apart of the lucky sperm club and can fly over there and help. I can donate some money though. What have you done?

Why did Obama pledge 100 million? The whole country is only worth 25! Just buy the damn thing and make a resort of it, and save the taxpayers some money. Where is the president of Haiti you ask? He's in the Ritz Carlton in New York courtesy of the American taxpayer I'll bet.

It's reported that Haiti has just had another 6.0 quake or aftershock. This is unimagineable to me. Those poor people.
Bless this group for doing what they can to help.

I realize Haiti needs help and all but there are tons of people here in America that need our help too. Everybody just ignores them.

hell we need help here in barnesville!

Lance met with the minister of defense and the minister of health right when he got down there to distribute the supplies. Now stop showing your bitter ignorance and just acknowledge the fact that your neighbors have done something to help. God bless all who have donated their money and their time.

Yea, and where do you think those supplies will end up? Not in the peoples hands that need them, but in the pockets and mouths of the politicians.
