Willie Nelson Asks for Help for Farmers
Willie has always been an friend to farmers, starting with the first annual Farm Aid concert in 1985. Willie Nelson is asking for help for the farmers who have been effected by the flooding in the midwest.
Please read his heartfelt plea on his official website. From the website:
Farm Aid is working now with local farm groups, churches, and rural organizations to get emergency funds out quickly to flooded farmers. Today we made our first grant of $10,000 to a local Iowa farm organization to provide emergency assistance to farmers in need right now.
Funny how Farm Aid can get help to the farmers faster than FEMA . . .

Yippee! I’d been hoping that someone influential would get involved! And YES how odd, isn’t it, that GOVERNMENT is the sluggish, nasty, greedy beast that it is. GRRR. The government probably wants to VeriChip and take blood from all the farmers before giving them a red cent of their own tax money back….
