Help Haiti Now!

       As a U.S. citizen, I am outraged by the reported mishandling of Haitian relief by the U.S. military in Haiti.  According to news reports on WPFW in D.C. today by Bishop Judy Fisher and others, the U.S. controlled airport and other areas have "deliberately" bottlenecked the aid of food and water that Haitian organizations are attempting to distribute to the people.  I am further outraged by what appears to be gross inefficiency, a U.S. takeover, and a condescending attitude toward the indigenous organizations of Haiti.  In effect, there seems to be a deliberate policy to allow by attrition as much loss of life as possible.
        Bishop Judy Fisher of Mercy Outreach Ministry International, who along with other Haitian organizations have worked in Haiti for years, requests that everyone call and write letters to the White House and to the U. S. State Department immediately expressing these concerns!  The phone numbers are:  White House 202-456-1414, U. S. State Department  202-647-4000.  Save a life! You would want others to do the same for you!  Call and/or contact by their website email right now!   Contribute financially and volunteer with Bishop Judy Fisher and others at www.rebuildhaititoday.org
 
Let us continue to pray and act for the people of Haiti and for other dispossessed people throughout our lives on this earth.

    Dr. Ellis,
    Thank you for enlightening some of us about what's going on in Haiti. Hopefully contributions that we've already made will end up in the right hands to help make this horrendous situation better for the people of Haiti. God bless those who have committed themselves to helping others, and those who knew in their hearts that monetary help was not an option.

    Again thanks.
