PR and USVI: Write this morning!

[bouhunter]

In addition to making charitable contributions, we can also try to help the people in Puerto Rico and the USVI by reminding our congressional reps and senators that the US CITIZENS there need help. Please consider taking a few minutes this morning to write your congress person and both senators, and ask your friends and family to do the same thing. It's easy to google their websites and click on the email links.

Excellent suggestions.

 

Yesterday, NPR did a terrific piece on the conditions in Puerto Rico, including a transplant patient who needs ice to keep his medication cool.

Good point bouhunter. Americans are in devastation and squalor. Good thing we're fixated on football. You are correct this is being under-recognized.
