Most OBOWers hate bureaucracy (like the TSA), right? Here’s a message from a mission my church will be supporting which underscores the point that the big dogs are gumming up the works in Haiti:

Please contact your Senators. Tell them about PMH. Tell them about the hundreds of other NGOs (non-governmental organizations) like Quisqueya Christian School and Hopital Lumiere that are all over Haiti that are serving the Haitian people with food and medical care. The UN and the US Army should be re-supplying these NGOs instead of pushing bags of stuff out of helicopters to mobs of Haitians. Why isn’t this happening? They all need food, fuel, medical supplies and security. It is one of the most effective and efficient ways that the UN and the USA could help Haiti. It is an opportunity tha is being squandered.

Of course, I have a dear friend - a Navy chaplain - who works for the biggest of all bureaucracies. His ship just arrived at the Haitian coast.
