This is a fine example of what communities can do WITHOUT government "help". I was listening to our local radio host Hallerin Hill the morning after this family's house burned down and 4 of their children were killed.
He said that the we (the community) should build them a new house. Within minutes, contractors, businesses and citizens from around the area were calling in volunteering their support.
Now, 6 months later the family is moving into a new home. I'm still teary eyed after listening to an interview with the family. This is what the Ron Paul campaign is to me. People helping people without the government stepping in. We can take care of ourselves.
If you would like to email the radio host, here is his email address. He takes no credit whatsoever for this instead he gives all of the credit to the community. He has been trying to get Ron Paul on the show, but hasn't been able to yet.
