Subject: US Aid to US Citizens?

The U.S. Government is refusing to assist Americans trapped in Cancun and Cozumel after Hurricane Wilma. My family members trapped there have finally been able to get through by phone and advise they finally, after 6 days, were contacted by a State Dept. representative who advised them it was not the U.S. Government's responsibility to assist them, they got themselves there and needed to get themselves out.

140 other Americans trapped in the Moon Palace Convention Center also can confirm this scenario. The British and Italian Governments arranged for busses to take their nationals to Merida, Mexico where they could get flights home. We have arranged an American Airlines flight out of Cancun for the 140 stranded Americans and our State Department won't even help these people cut through the Mexican Government's red tape to ensure these folks can get to the airport in time to catch their flight. We have thousands of Americans trapped in Mexico at this time and our government has turned its back on them. But we can make sure we get aid to Pakistan after an earthquake.
