At that time, I tried to help by giving a very
informative telemarketing conference which people could listen
to for free. All I asked in return was they donate to the victims
of the destructive hurricanes. Back then, we didn't ask the
donations be made to the Red Cross. That's because my assistant,
Theresa, did her own investigation to find out where donations
should be sent...

So All The Money Would Actually

Be Delivered Directly To The Victims

Of Those Hurricanes!

She found the best organization to distribute
the money was the Rotary Club in Punta Gorda (near Ft. Myers,
Florida where Hurricane Charley hit). I don't know how much
money we raised by our efforts (since the donations went straight
to the Rotary Club). I hope it was considerable and I'm sure
every penny helped.

Now, let's talk about FEMA. FEMA is the United
States' governmental organization which dispenses money to victims
of natural disasters.

Last year, during those four major hurricanes,
the places that got the most money... and... got it almost immediately...
were the cities of Miami (Dade County) and Ft. Lauderdale (Broward
County). That's kind of curious. These are the two counties
who suffered the least hurricane damage in nearly
all of Florida. The truth is, Miami and Ft. Lauderdale completely
lucked out... but... a number of slick, savvy, sleazy people
filed fraudulent claims and got paid enormous amounts of money
by FEMA.

What about the people who got crushed by Charley,
Dennis, Ivan and Jeanne? The folks in Punta Gorda? Orlando?
Pensacola? The cities which were almost leveled? Many of these
individuals have not yet collected any relief money whatsoever
from FEMA. Many of them are still homeless, broke, and have
received no aid whatsoever.

Let's shuck right down to the cob: If there were
a contest for the two most corrupt cities in the United States,
New Orleans and Miami would be duking it out for top position.
The governments of both Miami and New Orleans are both so incredibly
corrupt, if it weren't so tragic, it would be laughable. But,
as corrupt as the governments of those cities are, there are
hundreds of thousands of other people who live in those areas
who are honest, decent, God-fearing people, who do their best
to do whatever they can to make the world a better place.
