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.

Remember Kindergarten:
Share.
Hold Hands.
Watch out for each other.
Be patient.
