As Barack Obama visits Kaukauna, Wisconsin today, his campaign website is highlighting the Midwest floods.
Obama campaign blogger Amanda Scott writes:
Throughout this campaign, we have seen time and again that when ordinary people act together, they can make a difference.
You can help out now by donating or volunteering at a local shelter. Visit the Red Cross' website for more information on how to help in your town. Let's rally together to help those who need us now.
Here's the statement Obama released last evening:
My heart goes out to the families in Illinois and across the Midwest, who have been forced to flee their own homes, and leave their businesses and communities behind. Right now, many of them are wondering when they’ll be able to return, and what they’ll find when they get there. While we cannot assure them that their communities will be rebuilt overnight, we can assure them that they will be rebuilt – because we’ll work to ensure that the full resources of our state and federal government are there to help. And I will do everything in my power to see to it that those resources get to the people who need them as swiftly as possible.
That's nice, though I'm not feeling the "hope" thing.
