I can’t be in Postville, but I can still help.

Border Explorer has been covering the largest ICE Raid in US History, the May 12 raid that apprehended 400 meat-packers in Postville, IA. The resulting raid has been a horrific bastardization of our rights, where Habeus Corpus has been turned on its ear. Border Explorer’s coverage of this situation has been incredible, and you should all go read it.
Today, she writes:
The Postville Community Response Committee is asking those who are concerned about the situation to send a $20 donation. This will allow the Food Pantry to purchase approximately the following items for a family of four: rice, beans, a can each of fruit and vegetables, a box of cereal, eggs, and a $5 coupon for milk.
Please send your donation to the Postville Food Pantry c/o Pastor Steve Brackett, St Paul Lutheran Church, 116 Military, Postville IA 52162
My check is in the mail, and since I can’t be in Postville, I can still help - this is how.

Since I just rec’d my first Social Security Disability check I will be more than happy to send some money to Pastor Steve. Bless that wonderful man for the work he is doing.
Nothing raises my hackles like this shit Diva..nothing.
As you said, it is our new version of the Gestapo.
Diva Joods last blog post..Half and Half is Good
On July 10, the Good People Fund delivered a ‘53 tractor trailer filled with 24 pallets of food and grocery items for the Postville Food Pantry. Please double check w Pastor Brackett see exactly what items are still needed before donating. We are going to need to help for quite af ew months yet and should be sure we are providing the help they need when they most need it.
Avram, money is ok right? Pastor Steve can spend it on what he needs that way. Thanks for the update
