The problem is the base barracks they have put the people in is listed as a toxic waste dump. The barracks are so inundated with lead paint that the people that have to get around them wear masks so they don't have to breathe the fumes coming off them.

There is no air conditioning and it is 95 degrees at this time of year. I am afraid some of the older people will die of stroke from the heat.

2. I just called the Black Caucus but

their voice mail is full and I can't leave a message. I'm going to try to contact the offices of individual Congressional members now as well as the usual media outlets.

Sorry to do this, but there just isn't enough information at this time. If more details and facts become available, we will revisit this subject. Thank you for understanding.
