Louisiana Governor Blanco has designated today, August 31st as a day of prayer for the tragic situation in New Orleans. If you pray, please do. If you don’t, please give up some good thoughts.
PLEASE DONATE TO THE RED CROSS.
WE NEED MONEY. LOTS AND LOTS OF MONEY.
This situation is unimaginable.
Don’t pay attention to all the sensational press about the looters, those people will get theirs. We’ve got to save people and save the city. Beyond the history and cultural significance of New Orleans, our entire national economy depends upon that port to get goods in and our of the US. I know that nearly all the grain that Iowa exports to the rest of the world goes down the Mississippi and out through the Port of New Orleans.
Please think about the really great people who have gotten out of New Orleans who have lost everything. If any of you have been to a Harry concert with me, you’ve seen some of the amazing musicians who have been affected by this: Mark, Craig, Leroy, Lucien, and Mark Braud.
Connick.com has set up a relief fund for “our” boys, please feel free to donate to that as well.
I don’t know what else to say except that please don’t let this turn into some big political event. We have to come together and SAVE our fellow citizens. Wouldn’t you want the rest of the country to do the same for you???
