have one tent that has 9,600 square feet under one canopy and other tents with widths of 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 and 80 feet that can be expanded to various lengths to fit the size of the space available for maximum square footage. Some of these tents are frame tents that can be set up on rooftops of buildings and parking garages or overpasses where stakes can't be driven. All of these tents have sidewalls that can be raised and lowered to allow for privacy and some security.
I also have large drum fans, miles of electrical cords, lighting and access to industrial generators from 2500 watts all the way up to 100KW. I have called and faxed letters to Senators Bond, Talent, Frist and Alexander, but I can't get anyone to even call me back. I also called the Red Cross and the Tennessee Baptist Foundation speaking to people on the ground in Baton Rouge, but no one can direct me to someone that can take action.

I decided to turn to business and called Wal-Mart, State Farm and Shelter Insurance companies. I was met with the same clueles cluster-you-know-what. I am getting from FEMA. I see the hopelessness of the victims on TV knowing that I could help them, but I can't get any guidance or help from anyone. I don't know what else I can do.
