Superstorm Sandy: We Haven't Forgotten!

We remember the one year anniversary of Superstorm Sandy.

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to those who were lost in the Superstorm Sandy event. On October 29, 2012, during the peak of hurricane season, Sandy was a Category 1 hurricane that merged with a winter storm that covered the Northeast. It created a mega storm event that leveled New Jersey and New York.

It traveled from the mid-Atlantic states to the heart of America. Where over 79 million people were affected by this.

Republicans were upset over a compassionate moment.

We're still seeing progress happen over in New York and New Jersey. The state's governors Andrew Cuomo and Chris Christie both put aside their political feuds and worked together to get things done.

Conservatives still are pissed at Christie who some figure may be a potential Republican contender for the 2016 Presidential Election. He went to the junk food media to praise President Barack Obama's handling of a crisis.

Conservatives believe that his praise of the president ruined perennial loser Mitt Romney opportunity to win.

Today, Chris Christie is still kind of pissed with Congress wasting time on passing legislation to get his state back together.

Many Americans still blame Republicans obstruction for the passing legislation for hurricane relief.

Fend for yourself says Team Opposition.

Stallmigos Rand Paul (R-KY), Mike Lee (R-UT), Marco Rubio (R-FL) opposed it. Newly elected Ted Cruz (R-TX) have voted against it in the senate during his first weeks in.

Team Opposition Michele Bachmann (R-MN), Steve King (R-IA), Louie Gohmert (R-TX), Ted Poe (R-TX) and Jim Jordan (R-OH) are House representatives who have voted against it as well.

When a disaster happens, don't count on a Republican lawmaker to help you out! Maybe a compassionate conservative like Republican Chris Christie. However he's doing it for reelection because he's in it to win so he can at least prove to be a formidable contender for 2016. Nothing else more.

After all, he would get a BIG SHAQ endorsement.

Anyway, I'm off the subject.

For those who still have an opportunity to help, donate to the American Red Cross or the United Way.

Every little bit helps!
