[OneGrassRoot]

35. How can we write/email him.......

showing support? Through CNN maybe?

[fooj]

2. I listened to his interview last evening...

he is one hell of a good man. Swamp Rat- (((((((((((hugs)))))))))))
We are all here for you, honey. You can count on that!:grouphug:

[Swamp Rat]

6. thank you.

:hug: ... :cry:

[Rose Siding]

4. Hell yes!

:thumbsup:

[Lisa0825]

5. ((((((HUGS))))))))

:grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug:

I'm so sorry. I can't even begin to comprehend how badly this government has failed your states.

:hug:

[Joe the Revelator]

7. Not that it matters, but is he a dem or a republican?

I've heard conflicting things. Regardless, he's a hell of a man, and a real leader.

[Swamp Rat]

13. He's a New Orleanean, like me n/t

[Joe the Revelator]

19. I agree with that sentiment.

I was just curious. And like I said, it really doesn't matter at all, I just found his leadership ability very refreshing.

I've been silently following your story swamprat. Keep on pressing.

[kick-ass-bob]

14. he ran as a Dem to clean up the crooked politics in NO

I don't know anything more about him than that.

[highplainsdem]

8. Mine, too.

[BuyingThyme]

9. If he has a fan club, sign me up.

Why can't all politicians be like that?

[Pithy Cherub]

10. That CNN played his words unfiltered is a testament to the TRUTH!

Mayor Nagin, I hope uses the same words with the miserable excuse of an American president!

I *heart* His Honor, Ray Nagin, Defender of New Orleans!

[Just Me]

11. He was quite open and expressive about the feds failure,...

,...to respond. Shit. Thank God SOMEONE was being appropriately outraged!!! But for his vocal condemnation, those poor people may still be forced to wait days longer!!!

[JimmyJazz]

15. Tony (of MSNBC) and Darryl Jones (self appointed spokesperson

at the convention center) are mine. Without them, FEMA would not have even known that people were holed up at the convention center.

:hug:

[Cleita]

16. He should be considered for higher office in election 2006.

It's clear that we need a change of leadership all through the Washington, out-of-touch elitists, establishment.

[Swamp Rat]

21. I will work my ass off for him campaigning.

:mad:

:hug: Cleita :hug: Estoy muriendo de miedo para mi gente. :scared:

[Telly Savalas]

34. He actually gives a shit.

Which means the beltway dickheads will label him as "unelectable".

[Libby2]

17. Mine too

((((((swamp rat)))))
I'm crying and have been with you.

[thereismore]

18. You've got it Swamp Rat. He is a hero. Truth shall set you free. nt

[Sgent]

22. Swamp Rat

I loved Nagin before this disaster, now I can't imagine a polition I respect more this day.

FYI...

Nagin is a new polition, previously he was VP of Cox in NOLA. His platform was to clean up the endemic corruption of the city. He ran as a D, but in many ways that label is meaningless. He is a citizen of New Orleans, he is a hero.

[paula777]

23. I had never heard of him before this disaster, but he's my hero now too!

[Endangered Specie]

24. here is a longer MP3 clip, hes definetly not holding much back

http://www.atypical.net/mm/nagin.mp3

[Swamp Rat]

28. thanks

[Endangered Specie]

30. hes really firing off on that...

:applause:

[sarcasmo]

25. A great Man, in a sad Government.

[Generic Other]

31. He has done everything in his power and deserves much credit

And Bush will do all in his power to take credit.

[SaveAmerica]

33. He must get everyone's support in the days to come and after

things get back on track.

[Imagevision]

36. Nagan is like Chinseki and we know what happened to him!
