Haiti

Last week I had posted a status message on my facebook page saying:

"Shame on you America! The US has homeless without shelter, children going to bed without eating, elderly going without needed meds, and mentally ill without treatment - and yet we have a benefit for the people of Haiti on 12 TV stations raising over $57 million! 99% of people won't have the guts to copy and repost this. I agree- help our own first"

Some people I guess read it wrong or just took it the wrong way. I NEVER said that we should not help Haiti, never once. Believe me if I had the money I would have been one of the first to have donated to the country. My whole point behind it was not to say do not help Haiti, as Lord knows they need all the help they can get. But to simply say that we need to help our own people, the homeless we have here, the orphans we have here, the people that need meds and can't get it here and ect. I mean our country has so many people that need help and can not get it and yet here we are having had a benefit concert on every local channel commercial free, but you NEVER EVER see anything like that to help the people of America that need help.

I am in no way saying NOT to help Haiti if you can. But Please also help our own people that need help too.

BTW I just got the same statement in a text message and because of all the Shit I go from posting what I believed in I did not forward it even though I feel the message is straight forward and is 100% what I feel.

We complain about our country, we complain about the homeless on the streets making our cities look bad, no one ever thinks about the kids in orphanages that people do not want to adopt because they are to old when they want babies, we have foster kids that go from place to place. We have people with health problems that need medications and insurance that can not get either for whatever reason. And yet we stand around and do nothing to help them, infact we complain about what a strain on society they are, when we could be helping them. If we had a benefit concert for them do you think it would be on all local channels and commercial free? NO! Do you think we would raise the money that was raised for Haiti? NO!

People you can help other countries, but don't turn your back on America and those that need help here!!!
