** To those who have the clout to pass this on…
Tell someone in the government to get the bullhorns out- drop leaflets if they must, broadcast on every radio station that they can as to where all these people need to go and what to do to get help… Most of them seem to not have the faintest idea as what to do to help save their on lives-- They so desperately need someone to tell them what to do… It’s almost like that movie I saw on Yellowstone having a mass Volcano eruption and the aftermath of the disaster that followed… FEMA- in this movie- sent out the word called- “WALK FOR LIFE.” They told the survivors where to go for help… Anyway- Like in this movie- with all this mess in New Orleans-- We can’t go and get every single one of these people on an individual basis… Many will die before that ever happens............
They got to come out to us… Get with it FEMA!!!!

** I’ll end tonight by asking everyone to say their prayers for the victims of this massive storm—but always say one for the Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines who have paid the ultimate price for freedom… This one is for you Brian- Thank you Lord for all those who volunteer to serve in the National Guard- Be with those overseas and here at home and be with their families at all times of need. Bless the ones who gave their all in protecting the freedoms of this great country of ours… In these things I pray- Amen.
Good night my friend,
