additional help because the local resources are inadequate to handle the power outage and other problems.

That's fine and I'm sure President Obama's administration is and will do everything possible to help the
victims of Sandy get back on their feet. Time for the teabaggers to be held under the spotlight and denounced
for their policies that would see departments like FEMA eliminated. Their policies would prove fatal to hundreds of

I hope an independent journalist on Long Island can get an interview and see how they feel about getting
rid of FEMA NOW!

Unfamiliar with Kings politics, if he's signed Norquests contract but watching his interview this morning on

in their own backyard.
