Hurry and get this money to Fargo before republicans take it for another war or for tax cuts to ones who are allready rich, if anything happens thats good for the country, the GOP seems to be against it!

"build a $1.8 billion flood diversion channel" Great idea, push the flood down to St. Louis.

Many of those small farms and communities that will be destroyed by the diversion are owned by the very people who raced to Fargo/Moorhead to help sandbag and save those fancy homes built in the river's flood plain. Nice way to repay those who helped you out. And gov buyouts will not sufficiently compensate farmers when you take away their careers along with their livelihoods.
