We all know how horrible things are in the Gulf of Mexico, and how the US goverment did nothing to help for 5 days.

But check this out. Mayor Daley of Chicago offered FEMA;
36 Firefighters Technical Resue Team
8 Emergency medical technitions
Search and Rescue equiptment
100 Police Officers plus vehicals and two boats
29 clinical and 117 non-clinical health workers
A mobile clinic and 8 traind personal
140 Streets and Sanitation workers
29 Dump Trucks
Additional supplies

All this was offered on Sunday night FEMA only said they needed 1 truck. If Chicago offered all that, and Texas has given so much. Imagine what LA, New York, Seattle, and every other major city could have done by Monday.

The feds really lost any respect I ever had for them. After this disaster, and in light of what all our major cites offered, we don't even need our Federal Goverment.
