Letter to my "representative" Culberson re: Katrina

[texpatriot2004]

Dear Mr. Culberson,

I am writing to tell you how ashamed I am of my Federal Government's failure to respond to the natural disaster which was immediately made worse by the man-made disaster of a response. I am appalled that four years after 9-11 with all the bragging that this administration does about "keeping us safer here at home" that they were so ill prepared to deal with a disaster that WAS foreseeable. The fact that FEMA has been dismantled combined with the fact that the levee projects in New Orleans were grossly underfunded only made things worse. This colossal failure of a response to American citizens, NOT "REFUGEES" as you refer to them on your website, is completely unacceptable. People have died, and more are dying still, because of this failure. It is a shameful thing to see. It is disgraceful that America could not respond to its people on Monday afternoon, or Tuesday. This is America. Word of the storm was out the weekend before but no preparations were ready for these people, the weakest people, the sick, the poor, the elderly...those of you in Government who call yourselves "Christian" should be ashamed of yourselves. I am so disgusted with and outraged by my government right now I cannot even express it. How could my Government fail me in such a huge and public way? How could they not be prepared in a "post 9-11" world? I hope that you and your colleagues are unable to "spin" your way out of this one. I hope that the American people will see your true colors. I hope that we will understand the "Republican" vision of government by this clear example. There is no need for you to send me one of your form letters, they only add insult to injury sir.

My Name
Houston, TX
