people like Occupy Sandy many would have been forgotten altogether. Christie USED Sandy to get himself elected while even during that time, there were so many complaints from victims which were ignored.

Even here there were people praising him for his 'work' with Sandy victims, which was kind of surprising considering the reports, some from the work of Occupy Sandy, that while the more affluent were getting help, many of the most needy were being ignored.

Occupy Sandy even set up temporary schools for the children in those poor areas so they would not miss too much school while their communities tried to recover.

I wish we had a more free press which should have been reporting on all of this BEFORE The election.

Thanks again for posting this, I wasn't aware of it and I'm glad they are taking advantage of the situation to maybe finally some of the help they need.
