Billy Long issues statement on redirecting of FEMA funds from Joplin to Hurricane Irene area


Seventh District Congressman Billy Long issued the following statement concerning FEMA's decision to divert money originally intended for Joplin tornado recovery to areas affected by Hurricane Irene:

“My thoughts and prayers go out to those on the East Coast that were affected by this hurricane. Those of us in Southwest Missouri know just how devastating a natural disaster can be. My staff and I have been in constant contact with FEMA to ensure that FEMA keeps its promise that they would see the rebuilding of Joplin through.”

Oh God, anytime a Republican starts talking about his thoughts and prayers.....you know you're in trouble.

Joplin may have to learn to share as the rest of the country hurts now.

Remember Kindergarten:

Share.
Hold Hands.
Watch out for each other.
Be patient.
