Hurricane Sandy

Pacquiao -- As a Floridian, I know firsthand how devastating storms like Hurricane Sandy can be for our families and our communities. Our thoughts and prayers are with those who have been, and continue to be, affected by this storm. It's important to remember that you can make a difference at this critical moment: Relief organizations like the American Red Cross are on the ground right now in all the communities affected by the storm. If you'd like to find out more and see what you can do to help, please visit the American Red Cross right now: http://my.democrats.org/Red-Cross As the President pointed out last night, one of the great things about this country is that we pull together and look out for each other in times of need. Soon enough, we'll get back to the campaign, and the critical choice facing our country next week. But for now please stay safe, and if you'd like, lend a hand. Thank you, Debbie Wasserman Schultz -----------------Original Message----------------- From: Barack Obama Subject: Hurricane Sandy Friend -- This is a serious storm, but we are going to do what it takes to keep people safe and secure, and make sure the communities affected get the assistance they need. FEMA is working with state and local governments to respond effectively. We all owe a debt of thanks to the first responders who will be dealing with the immediate impact of the storm. If you live in the storm's path, please listen to state and local authorities about where and how to take shelter and stay safe -- and encourage your friends and family to do the same. If you are asked to evacuate, please take that seriously. For more information on how to prepare for this storm, visit Ready.gov. And if you'd like to find out how to support relief efforts where they're needed most, please visit the Red Cross or your local relief organization: http://my.democrats.org/Red-Cross Michelle and I are keeping everyone in the affected areas in our thoughts and prayers. Be safe. Barack
