We're not asking you to donate, we're asking you to buy the items that were donated Even if you're not interested in the charity aspect of it, you can get some killer deals on parts!

A girl was pulled from the rubble 15 days after the disaster. If it were left up to some there probably wouldn't be anyone there to do so.

If it were you trapped in there the only hope you have is there is someone coming to get you.

Some will be Leaders...some will be followers...some will do NOTHING at ALL

With Great Power comes Great responsiblilty

Some will even be quick to say lets Bomb this country or that country. Of course we then have to pay to rebuild them.

However when there is a natural disaster...Offer NO help

Im not saying "you didnt do this for us so we're not not doing this for you" or an eye for an eye or anything like that, because in reality I am all for helping people but look at it this way....

I didnt see the Haitians, Chinese, Russians, etc... flocking here when Katrina hit, or the F5 Tornado LEVELED Greensburg Kansas to help with clean up. Its a natural disaster and we clean it up OURSELVES.

We're on the scene there in a day to a country we already give like $300 million dollars to a year for nothing. It took weeks for supplies to hit Louisiana in OUR country but we send truck load after truck load to the docks and airport to go to Haiti.

It only makes sense to give away money we dont have....

Seriously....

Although this is not a political discussion. It has already been proven it was our leaders at the time that dropped the ball on immediate assistance to Katrina.

Found this SONG today. It's great to see the Caribbean artists step up to the plate to help out their neighbors.
