CBS News: 70,000 People Suffering from 9/11 Illness yet President Clinton Fumes over His 9/11 Freedom Scholarship Fund
President Bill Clinton is upset that his Freedom Scholarship, which raised $110 million for families of 9/11, isn't dispersing money fast enough.
Other family members are upset that their is yet to be a 9/11 memorial, which President Clinton promised to help with.
The final few seconds of the news piece, the CBS reporter somewhat implies that the reason a memorial hasn't been built is because of 'diverging interests'.
He quickly adds that the New York City Health Department says that more than 70,000 people are suffering from physical and mental problems from 9/11.
Scholarship funds and a memorial are important but the situation with the First Responders is critical.
President Clinton and Hillary Clinton should be advocating for the people who are DYING right now. Bill Clinton should raise $110 million for the FealGood Foundation, which is the main organization (the only?) dedicated to helping 9/11 First Responders.
I wish Bill Clinton would look at these photos: 9/11 Still Killing
