Good Lord. What a con. I'm surprised they're not selling Bibles too. Lisa, I've emailed you. The council's voting this coming Wednesday so I need to get the word out. How can elected government officials be so naive? (wait, don't answer that) As I just told the husband: A county with a steel mill and a tanker contract's like a mule with a spinning wheel.

I am fixing to blow these guys out of the water. It's totally a billboard company that's trying to skirt the law. Their HQ address is the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Lexington. The only place the "Foundation" exists is in a PR company's press release. To the bastions! This is such a Trojan Horse - people are so gullible sometimes.

That's funny. Although maybe they've thought of everything and have some kind of giant battery in the container, along with the emergency supplies, of course. It's interesting that they're aligning themselves with the Red Cross - check out <a href="http://redcrossgoodnews.wordpress.com/2008/04/01/digital-billboards-pay-for-storage-bins-filled-with-emergency-supplies/" rel="nofollow">this phony-looking blog post</a> - and the United Way.

My organization, Scenic Alabama, has been fighting the billboard folks for a long time and there is a lot going on in Mobile right now. I think it's kind of funny that they're promoting emergency caches with signs that would indicate where they are, but in an emergency wouldn't the power go out? Then how are you going to see that sign? Check out scenicalabama.org and contact me - I'd love to have your help in Mobile.
