Louisiana sent letter begging for help on 28th

[Teaser]

Apparently the feds are lying. Louisiana did ask for help before the storm.

So many people need to get hurt.

[Skip Intro]

1. kick! this blows away the "local gov didn't ask for help" bullshit -

is there no end to their lies?

5. there's some confusion here....governors don't ask the pres to

activate their own state guard. I'm sure they made a fema request earlier than the storm hit....but the guard situation was her own making. She should have asked neighboring states for help and their guard s well.

2. No help ordered by bush/DOD until wed the 31st.

3. Blanco will be running significantly more against Bush next time

I may have reason to vote for her and not against the Republican.

4. Someone needs to get this to the smoking gun-

because they are trying to pin this on local authorities.-
this evidence needs to be thrown in the face of anyone who attempts to give bush a pass of ANY kind.
