She also told me that President Bush came to Lafayette, TN shortly after the tornadoes had ripped through. She said that Bush wanted to meet her, but she refused to meet him and shake his hand for the cameras. I told her I was very proud of her for doing that, since in my humble opinion, he is one of the most evil men to walk this planet. She said she was not about to go down there and shake his hand in front of a bunch of cameras. Pam told me that all of the town's survivors of the tornado each received the sum total of $1000 shortly after the tornado. She said that the Red Cross issued credit cards for victims to use, but as soon as all the camera crews and visiting presidents departed, the credit cards were inactivated.
This is pathetic! What do we pay taxes for in this country if not so that our government agencies can help those who are the most in need? This poor woman deserves to be treated so much better than she has been by a corrupt administration that is only interested in photo opportunities and cares nothing about those who are suffering.

I suggested to Pam that she write her Tennessee Senators and Representatives and inform them about the horrible treatment she has received. She replied that she was planning to do that hopefully sometime in the future, but for now she was focusing on taking care of her mother. I said she should travel to their offices and meet them in person. She said she would if she could afford the gas to drive anywhere and that if she were going to do something like that, it would have to wait until the first of the month when her disability check arrives, because at the end of the month, there is no money left for traveling expenses.
