We Interrupt This Program
Twittered but an important smackdown.
Found in the about section of Tales From the Hood
Seven Comment Down.
I think you need to re-read some of those “great posts”, because one central message very clearly has not registered for you: DO NOT COME TO HAITI.
One thing Haiti absolutely does not need more of is yet another group of young adults with limited skills, who are disconnected from the real world out there (your words, not mine).
This is a disaster zone. The relief effort here is (or should be) about Haitians. It is absolutely inappropriate for your young adults to come “benefit from learning from such an experience” in Haiti right now.
Stay away from Jacmel. Stay away from PaP. Stay away from Hait.
Please let me know if this is somehow unclear.
ENOUGH
From ENOUGH
January 31, 2010 Last week, President Obama’s State of the Union address didn’t mention Sudan. But now is the chance for YOU to pose a follow-up question, and we at Enough urge you to ask him what he will do to ensure that widespread violence doesn’t break out during this crucial year of elections and preparations for the strong possibility that Sudan could split into two separate countries. Tomorrow night, President Obama will answer questions provided by citizens like us. We’ve sent in a question on Sudan, and YOU have voted it near the top in the Foreign Policy category. Please vote now to make sure it’s #1! We need to get the word out. Please don’t stop at voting, update your Facebook status to let your friends know: “President Obama, we want answers on Sudan. Add your vote to urge the president to take our question. Click the following link and urge your friends to update their status with this message: http://bit.ly/az2jNx“ Voting only takes a moment, so make your voice heard by voting for our question on Sudan.
