has devastated the people of Louisiana and Mississippi. It is sad to see our fellow Americans homeless, hungry and thirsty because of the catastrophe of Hurricane Katrina. What is worse is when we see people who are wasting their money on inappropriate things when they could be helping the victims of Hurricane Katrina. There are a lot of Hurricane Katrina fundraisers who are donating the entire percentage of money to the Hurricane Katrina victims. If you want to help out our fellow Americans, you can donate some money to one of these Hurricane Katrina funds. First of all, make sure that the fund is legitimate and that it donates a high percentage to the Hurricane Katrina victims.

The Elimination of Barriers for Katrina Victims Act bill would temporarily suspend federal laws that deny public assistance to victims of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, who have a past history of a drug offense. If enacted, the bill would give thousands of destitute families access to the benefits they need to survive. It is impossible to know how many victims will be denied assistance because of drug convictions, but it could be in the tens of thousands.
