Seeking Sandy recovery help in Iowa

Donation protected
Will you help me get to Iowa?  Why Iowa and not Key West or Jamaica.  Because I’m insane, that’s why!  In addition to my work with START I’m also working with a group called the New Jersey Organizing Project.  Their goal is to get RREM grant money out the door and get Sandy families home.  We continue to meet with U.S. senators, state senators, department heads, local leaders, etc.  to get help for 15,000 desperate families.  We have developed some great ideas and have recommended legislation to help speed up and streamline the recovery process.  We requested a meeting with Gov. Christie but were denied, the reason being he was too busy to meet with us.  Which brings me back to Iowa.  Christie along with 6 other presidential hopefuls will be attending the 2015 AG Summit on March 7th.  I also have a ticket for the summit but I’m not planning on running for president.  So if he won’t meet me here in NJ then I’ll go to him in Iowa.  My goals for going to Iowa are:

To garner national attention for the 15,000 families still not home.
To demand from Christie that we have real leadership, transparency and accountability on Sandy Recovery.
To meet with the Iowa CCI, who is supporting the NJOP, to discuss strategies to help us meet our goals in NJ.
How can you help me?  I set a very reachable fundraising goal of $300 to help cover some of my travel expenses.  The NJOP and the Iowa CCI are also providing assistance to make this trip possible.   Please consider helping me help 15,000 families who want nothing more than to get back home and get back to living normal lives again.  Thanks!
