As soon as Governor Snyder finished speaking the Emergency Alert System came on the television. I don't believe in coincidence..

Somebody lit a fire under the Governor.

The people of Flint are getting help. I hope they feel important and I hope they are now feeling safe.

Water is vital to anyone. The youngest citizens of this country are every bit important as any adult with money in their pocket for political donations.

This seems under control at the moment so long as the citizens in need are getting the message. I am sure Flint and the county have social workers and charities that have contact with the people. It is important they understand there is help now.

The medical information is confidential. That doesn't mean people can't share what is going on if they find that important, but, I would recommend it until a legal authority has looked at everything. Once that is done they can provide insight and counseling to the individuals.

This one really breaks my heart. There was just no reason for any of this to occur. This is something every American understands from decades ago. Paint removal for leaded paint. This is not new. And water is so vital to everyone.

Flint is a great city of great people. The country of the middle class has sincere gratitude to the people that built Flint. They showed us we are important and here we are decades later and feeling invisible to not just business, but, government itself.

There are a lot of good people in Flint and the Mayor has a degree of authority in seeing to it people are receiving water and filters.

It was shocking to realize this even happened and it has an ongoing problem for more than a year. That was so devastating to hear. The Mayor and Council has to have their power returned to them as elected officials.

This is an ongoing issue. It doesn't stop here. The Mayor and Council have to remain vigilant and encourage every health care professional caring for the people of Flint to be all that more vigilant. Please don't let them fall between the cracks. Living on low income stresses time available to care for oneself. That has to be over. Besides realizing a good wage, the people of Flint have to put their health on a higher priority and that goes for aspect of their health. The people should feel empowered and respected. The future is important again and we all have to remain vigilant.

There is no future that is not possible for the people of Flint. Every dream is important and everything possible needs to be done to help them realize that.
