Michael Moore delivers 3500 times body weight to New Orleans

Tags:

If my calculations are correct, Michael Moore claims to have delivered 3500 times his body weight in food, water, clothing, medical supplies, baby products, feminine hygiene products, cleaning supplies, power tools to New Orleans and the Gulf Coast. In our terms, that's 500 tons. But, that weight includes a boat and trailer.

Other items he claims to have delivered include:

** Over 10,000 aid packages have been sent by you via UPS and FedEx to our camp and distributed

** Over two million dollars in donations, food, water, and supplies have been sent and distributed

** Tractor trailers, dozens of 20 foot trucks, six school buses, and other vehicles arrived loaded with supplies. Most stayed on to help distribute donations

** Over 200 chainsaws, 100 generators and 2,000 gallons of bleach have been distributed

** Over 100 people were walked through the FEMA application process

** Doctors, Physician's Assistants, Nurse Practitioners, Psychologists, Registered Nurses, LPNs, Paramedics, Emergency Medical Technicians, and Social Workers have volunteered from across the country and joined forces to create several mobile medical units providing prescription medication, first aid supplies, diabetic testing equipment, insulin and tetanus shots for those digging through the rubble of their homes
