Please help..LA Democrat needs help for hurricane victims

[cally]

It would be a perfect way for local Dem organizations to help with hurricane relief.

Here's a link to the GD thread: (It needs recommendations and kicks)

and a copy of the post:

LA Dem Staffer looking for help for LA displaced...

I just spoke to Louis Rainey the Political Director for Louisiana's Democratic Party. He and his family are safe but they have lost everything. Their house is gone. He is now in Dallas, Texas and he is in recovery mode. He has set up a command post in The Marriot Courtyard in Dallas Texas. He has got the Hotel to cut prices in half and is himself paying for rooms for dislocated people. The shelters are full and can?t accept anymore people. He has taken it upon himself to contact everyone he knows to try and get these people help. He is asking us to send gas and food vouchers, gift cards to the Marriott, anything that can be spared to help these people. He wants us to get the word out.

Please give what you can. You can send gift cards or even write a check to the Marriott to subsidize the cost of rooms that the Marriot is providing at a discounted rate.

Hotel information:
Marriot Courtyard
2383 Stemmons Road
Dallas, Texas 75220
Attn: Louis Rainey
# Phone: [phone]
# Fax: [phone]

Stores surrounding the Marriot, Walgreens, Walmart, Sams Club, Kroger
Grocery Store and all of the major gas stations.

6. Will do!

We Dallas Dems take care of our own!

I'm heading out today to do some gathering of stuff. I'll either pay Mr. Rainey a visit today or get some stuff to him this week; plus get him some gift cards!

9. IMPORTANT INFO ON LOUIS AND HIS HOTEL!!

This Courtyard by Marriott is NOT the one down near the Anatole!

I saw Stemmons, and that's the one I thought it was. It is NOT on Stemmons Highway (or Road).

It's at 2383 Stemmons Trail, which is further north off of Northwest Highway!

I went to drop some stuff off today, but went to wrong place first, so in case you're headed over, make sure you go to the right one!
