| French City Offers to Help U.S. Namesake |
| 2005-09-03 |
 The French city of Orleans is rallying to help its hurricane-hit American namesake. The city south of Paris plans to donate money raised from ticket sales at local sports matches to help hurricane victims in New Orleans, a statement from City Hall said Friday. Orleans and its university have also offered to take in 50 students from the University of New Orleans for the school year, the statement said. The mayor's office is working with U.S. authorities to find out what other aid it can provide. |

| #3 Wyoming and California get 28,000 each. Makes sense Pardon me, But have you seen the size of these refuges? Do you think the San Andreas fault can bear the load? |

| #1 Nice offer; however a more effective result would be for the US government to employ the "Soloman Rule"! Take the 1.4 million displaced out of New Orleans, divide the evacuees by 50 and send them to the remaining United states! Roughly 28,000 for each State!! |
