Let’s help Flint

Flint, Michigan, can move out of crisis faster if Americans donate $1 or $2 each.

Think about saving the lives and welfare of fellow citizens in dire need. Then start pointing fingers and getting the people responsible out of office and out of jobs — shame on them.

Flint should set up an #AmericanshelpingAmericans account to raise the $100 million to help restore safe drinking water to its residents.

People’s lives and futures are at stake. The residents should not have to wait for bureaucrats to sort it out and then take years to resolve.
