TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums St. Maarten - St. Martin State Dept Forces Stranded US citizens to pay

The State Department is not permitted to spend government funds on these types of evacuations, which necessitates that U.S. citizens seeking State Department help in their evacuation from disaster-struck areas sign the form before getting on a flight.

I contacted Peter Thomas King (born April 5, 1944) is an American politician and current U.S. Representative for New York's 2nd congressional district. He is a member of the Republican Party and represents the South Shore Long Island district that includes parts of Nassau and Suffolk counties.

King was formerly chair of the House Committee on Homeland Security, where he drew attention in early 2011 for holding hearings on the extent of radicalization of American Muslims. He sits on the Financial Services Committee and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. He stepped down as Homeland Security Chairman because of self-imposed Republican term limits. He remains a member of the committee.[2]

He has a verbal voice mail from me related to SXM and I will post what replies i receive.

Thank you for the historical political lesson.

Ya, great to know when his birthday is. Guess we can send him a big pork chop. But your point is......?

My point is we need to voice our outrage to our congress elected officials about SXM and the aid needed to help Americans still in danger.

um...you don't think she wrote that do you? Its copy/pasted from wikipedia to provide context for who the congressman is.

And could have easily been left out as it is not pertinent at all.
