Anybody just see the report on MSNBC

[shraby]

about the convention center in NO? It's time to email our congresscritters big time! The people were told to go there and there is no food, no water, no help. What in the hell is going on..besides NOTHING from our government.

1. A crime against humanity

2. They're being left there to die

and nobody but Harry Connick Jr cares.

3. GENOCIDE - that is what is going on here n/t

4. Yes, Phone!Phone!Phone!

Make these weasels squirm. Find out it they're still on vacation and let them have it!!

Do you feel safer with the "Department of Homeland Insecurity" in charge. Where did all that money go? Obviously not to "disaster preparedness".

5. Tony Zumbado did a

good job of pointing out that these people did what they were told and are waiting for even minimum help and are getting nothing. Yet they are staying calm, organized and trying to help each other even in their anger and desperation. I hope they replay his clip over and over until some one gets help to these people.Zumbado sounds(justifiably)frustrated with the lack of response.

6. Can they walk out of the city?

If buses can get to Houston from the Superdome, can they get to the Superdome from where they are and start walking?


I know it's a long way but heck...

8. By now, they probably don't have the energy

to walk for any distance. I just contacted my reps. If action isn't taken very soon, it's time for them to be put out of office.

9. They may not be able to get to the onramp

There's an onramp to the Crescent City Connection not far away but I guess it's probably underwater to get to it.


Ignore that red dot...the Convention Center is on the right in the middle, by the river.
