OPERATION ENDURING SERVICE
Hurricanes are evil and cause problems.
Gov't response can be... sub-par.
Phin of Phin's Blog reports that someone is trying to be part of the solution:
Beauchamp Tower Corporation has created Operation Enduring Service which will utilize obsolete military ships to provide emergency relief and disaster response at no cost to the taxpayers and a savings to the government of at least $100 million.
The catch is that, being gov't property, there needs to be gov't authorization to make this happen, and Phin lists a few constipated leglislators who need to get enemas from their constituents on this issue. If you own one of these Congresscritters, please irrigate them.
Without this legislation the Corporate Donors will withdraw, the ships will no longer be available and the emergency relief program will collapse; thus leaving the disaster response efforts to be further mishandled by FEMA.
...and NOBODY wants that.
