Please help out the Help Samoa Disaster Relief Coalition to get relief out to the Samoan islands in the wake of the tsunami that hit on September 29, 2009. President Obama has declared a major federal disaster in American Samoa, authorizing FEMA and other resources to aid the communities there.
Amelia Niumeitu also sends a link to a petition to Governor Togiola to accept delivery of donated goods to the Samoan islands via FEMA. For whatever reason, Togiola is refusing to do so, as noted at the end of the introduction to the petition:
Governor Togiola refused to sign the letter to FEMA activating the use of C-17's to transport now 360+ pallets of donated goods ready to go to American Samoa and Samoa, which are now placed in parking lots.
Please sign the PETITION HERE!
