"Our buses are in Houston, standing by, waiting to be filled - right next to CNN's media trucks at the Astrodome," says Christie Weber. "If they are forced to return home empty we will definitely provide that story to the media."

Christie Weber, and a group of supporters were on the phone and on the Web late Sunday evening, searching for another group to work with in order to get those Wisconsin buses loaded. By 9 AM Monday morning it was reported that Wisconsin's Governor sent an e-mail to Houston Red Cross saying, "Fill those buses!"

1. Why haven't I heard any of this on the MSM?

This is BS!!!!! They ask for help and then toss it away???

Are we sure this is the Red Cross? Does our inefficient FEMA have a hand in this BS too?

If we can't get it on MSM, we need to call cspan every morning until we get this info out to everyone!

2. Do you have any other link than KOS?

Also, would you consider posting this in the Wisconsin group? Thanks.

3. I'm waiting for NYC's buses to be sent back too. Hell to pay if that

happens. Our Republican mayor, Bloomberg, sent them off with great flourish. He's a virtual shoo-in for reelection in November, but depending on how this pans out, things could get delicate for him. He may need to be more openly critical of the Bushistas to get reelected, and that may haunt him in his second administration.

4. Are these victims being shipped to only Red States???

Just a thought, seems like I have heard of some Blue states being turned down when offering help.

the air-base on Cape Cod is supposed to be housing many.

They have a reporter on one of the busses. But, no update to the story since Sunday night. Hmmm....

7. What about the Van Galder buses headed for Madison?

People have been getting ready -- apartments, jobs, etc. Are they coming?

8. Good Luck getting the People BACK on buses.

They would have better luck if they drove down to NOLA and the rest of the areas and pick up people and kept driving.

People are NOT going to want to get back on the bus without a good reason. they are not animals. They have already told people were they are at. Etc, etc. They have already been told they can stay there.
