Enough Is Enough.

Ok, the United States has raised over 528 Million (Headline) “Help Haiti Exceed $528-Million, Chronicle Tally in Philly. “ Now we did more than any other country and it is time to collaborate right in the United States and help clean up our own backyard.
There is a Reverend, named Trey Noran in the Denver area that has a desire to open two homeless hotels, his web site Hislovestreetministries.com I read and heard of this man from face book and just last evening on WCAN Radio. My suggestion is that George Clooney followers and other Stars assist Reverend Noran right here in this country.

Regarding US aid to Haiti: I was heartbroken to hear that Bob from RI had such a truly broken heart--is he unable to care? Bob, I ask you: If there were an earthquake here, and you had lost loved ones, and you and your other loved ones were at risk of death, how would you want others to respond to you? Haitians want life exactly as much as you do.
