My letter to Cornyn (R) Texas after watching him on C-SPAN

[texpatriot2004]

Today, Sept. 6th, I just watched you on C-SPAN give a litany of charity and good will from the American people here in Texas. That's all well and good; I am glad to see it. However, in your spiel I got the impression that you missed the point. The problem is not with the "Good Will" of the American people. The problem is with BAD GOVERNMENT! You said, "now is not the time for the blame game" Oh, you are so wrong. Now is exactly the time to "point fingers" and point them at the Federal Government, that is to say, Bush and his administration. The colossal failure of the Federal Government to respond to the needs of these Americans, the poor, the sick, the young and the elderly...is inexcusable! This failure, this "man-made" disaster of a response to the natural disaster made things exponentially worse and people died! Thousands of people died! This is America. The Bush administration and Bush himself have bragged and boasted of their being the only ones who can "keep us safe here at home." Four years after 9-11 this is how they perform? To a disaster that came with a warning for God's sake. I am glad to see that finally, there is some progress but it came too little too late! Bush's incompetence and his government which dismantled FEMA and under funded the levee projects, not to mention fired the man who predicted the levee portion of the disaster...NO MR. Cornyn, you are wrong! This failure has disgraced America. It is unacceptable! It is the last straw.
