I don't want to waste my time but is this really going to happen? Are the others going to follow along? The majority of the members have to go along with this or this will be just another thread.
Given that (I assume) many of us live far apart, the best approach is through the written word.
If it is "clean water", then begin to post pertinent articles that are encapsulated into shortened form Haitix posts.
Right now, most on Haitix sit back and wait for somebody to propose a priority or a tactic and then jump on the person who posted it.
Forget the point being made, attack the person.
That's BIG problem on Haitix, very few willing to do the hard work of researching and proposing solutions that are quickly diluted by feeble minded, lazy, contributors that are anxious to maintain the status quo.
Only 10 people focused on a singular topic in detail that can amass a very succinct, poignant message/proposal that will be read and heard.
You don't have to be in Haiti laying water lines or marching the streets to be highly effective.
The written word is very powerful when based in facts.
Since no one has posted anything as of yet, if anyone would like to fund the website, please let me know as I am working on it now. Now, name suggestions of such an organization would be greatly appreciated. I'm also unsure of what other members seek this organization to be, but I'm leaning towards a progressive political party.
Here's the website purchasing page:
i've received a lot of good feedback from a lot people on Facebook and my father put in contact with 2 students organizations in Haiti and a Rara Band from Brooklyn call DJARARA who are used to this type of things
Let me figure some things out with them first before we can go further
i will be in Brooklyn next month to meet with some members of Djarara
it would be great if you can come suppose that you live near Brooklyn

you are right Gunner but we can do better
and when it come to HaitiXchange's member
i sent a PM to almost everyone of them here requesting their Opinion
but as you can see
not many of them seems to be interested nor care enough which is unfortunate but not surprising
I was expecting some Feedback from CoolP since he's already responsible of a platform that could help in these things, but he does not seem to be too interested either, which is very surprising
Now I can understand why you get frustrated at times lol
FIRST OF ALL WE NEED TO HAVE A LEADER OR A GROUP TO TAKE CHARGE, I CAN HELP WITH TRAVELING AND HOUSING IN HAITI, I HOPE YOU GUYS KNOW THIS IS A SERIOUS TOPIC.

Did you I leave anyone out?
No idea how to "add a check-mark" but I'm in.
But look at the "General Discussion" board of Haitix.
"Is this women "Hot" and "pupil #8" draws a lot of interest.
In all honestly, I post on Haitix to get some mass media exposure.
Not for myself, but for the points being made.
Gunner is simply a 6 letter word on a screen.
To an extent, and in some cases, quite a lot of exposure and influence has come from posting facts about why "Haiti is Haiti in 2012."
Unfortunately, you get a lot of riff raff chiming in with childish rants against "gunner".
The same will hold true for any group presentations.
For me, relative to Haiti in 2012, and why it is what it is; are these foundational truths:
1. Haiti is critical/crucial to the USA based "Aid The Poor" industry and their revenue stream.
2. The Democrat Party is in total control of the "Aid The Poor" industry within Haiti.
3. The battle line is "Infrastructure" vs. "Aid The Poor".
4. The term "DONORS" means Europeans and any other international community member opposed to the USA based "Aid The Poor" system.
5. The UN, World Bank, IADB, IMF, IFC, USAID are beholden to the USA's "Aid The Poor" system and the Democrat Party.
6. The "Aid The Poor" system (and therefore, Haiti) is controlled by Bill Clinton and Dr. Paul Farmer.
7. The Haitian Government is without representation in the "Aid The Poor" industry within Haiti.
8. The "Aid The Poor" industry is diametrically opposed to any US Military involvement (USACE) in Haiti.
9. "The "Aid The Poor" industry is driven by US government grants (free money) with Haiti as its prized hook/lure.
10. Haiti will never advance into the 21st century relative to basic needs (infrastructure) until the "Aid The Poor" industry is abolished within its borders and in DC political circles.
11. The ability to change Haiti, is not within Haiti, but in Washington DC.
12. Haitian Government corruption is minuscule vs the "Aid The Poor" industry in monetary values.
13. The Haitian Diaspora is 99.9999% loyal to the Democrat Party making the over-throw of the "Aid The Poor" industry within Haiti, particularly difficult.
