Rebuild Bolivar Peninsula!!!

http://www.rebuildbolivar.com/
During the early morning hours of Saturday, September 13, 2008, Hurricane Ike devastated the communities located on Bolivar Peninsula. We are hopeful that government officials will support reconstruction efforts and allow the property owners in these communities to rebuild. We need your help with this initiative!
Our primary goal is to assist in the rebuilding of the communities on Bolivar Peninsula. Before this process can begin we must launch an initiative that will help to convey to government officials the importance of rebuilding and providing funding for the reconstruction of Bolivar Peninsula. The assembly of a collective voice is imperative to our success. We need your help!
Please take a moment to contact your local, state, and/or U.S. officials to urge them to support the reconstruction of Bolivar Peninsula (click on "Political Contacts" in the menu on the left).

Bolivar Peninsula Property Owners:
We understand that many of the property owners of Bolivar Peninsula have concerns about holding a wide-spread volunteer-based clean-up initiative at this time. We also understand that many property owners desperately need assistance moving debris to the appropriate location for removal from their property. In an effort to meet the needs and desires of all property owners, we have developed an approach that will provide assistance to those who need it while respecting the property boundaries of those who do not.
If you are a Bolivar Peninsula property owner who would like volunteer assistance in cleaning debris from your property, please do the following:
Arrive at the intersection of highways 124 and 87 in High Island at 8:00am on Saturday, October 18.
You will have the opportunity to meet volunteers who would like to assist you with the clean-up of your property.
As a property owner you have the right to escort a small team of volunteers to your property to assist you.
Your volunteer team will need to exit the peninsula by 4pm, no exceptions.
During the duration of the clean-up event, you will be responsible for the volunteers on your property. It is your responsibility to ensure that your neighbors’ property is not compromised. Just as you have a right to have assistance with the clean-up of your property, your neighbors have the right to request that the volunteers not enter theirs.

Volunteers:
Thank you so much for your very generous offer to assist people in need on Bolivar Peninsula. By donating your time to assist in this effort, you are touching not only the lives of the property owners to whom you are providing assistance, but also to the many people who travel to vacation here.
While many of our neighbors desperately need your assistance, we must also be cognizant of the many property owners who have concerns about the safety and security of their property. We know that you want to make a positive impact on Bolivar Peninsula and that you would prefer to spend your time helping those who want and need your assistance. The best way to accomplish these goals is to ask that all volunteers strictly adhere to the following:
Arrive at intersection of highways 124 and 87 in High Island at 8:30am on Saturday, October 18. (click here for driving directions and map)
Upon arrival, you will meet the property owners with whom you will be working.
As you are assigned to a property owner, he/she will escort you, along with a small team of volunteers, to their property.
The property owner will provide you with direction for cleaning debris from his/her property only.
While you are on Bolivar Peninsula, you are not to leave the immediate vicinity established by the property owner. Keep in mind that even bare land is still someone else’s property.
We ask that you be respectful of all people and personal property that you encounter. We will have security personnel on the peninsula and NO LOOTING will be tolerated.
In accordance with the guidelines established by Galveston County, all persons on Bolivar Peninsula must be vacated by 4pm, no exceptions.
The following is a list of items that we recommend that you bring, if you are able:
· Work gloves
Rubber boots
Wheel barrows
Two-way radios (walkie-talkies)

· Pry-bars and crowbars
Wench

Michelle Obama jokes she's still undecided

I do believe this was last night. An ignorant bitch that I know wanted to know where Michelle Obama has been. I think if she were up your ass Danica, you'd know it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Michelle Obama visited The Daily Show last night and told fearless fake-newsman Jon Stewart that she makes her husband, Sen. Barack Obama, work for her vote.
"I tell him, 'If I don't believe you, I'm not voting for you, buddy," Obama said. "'You gotta win me over!'"
But just to make sure she didn't end up in any campaign ads, she clarified that she was indeed, "an Obama Mama."
Catch that and the best of the late-night funnies in the video below from our friends at Primetime in No Time.
