1. I wanted to post this last month and maybe it was! Mayor Nagins

said that FEMA would not give him a list of of HIS displaced citizens. I hate to tin foil but, the election is very soon and it would be hoove (like in goat) to deny the citizens their vote.

Can anyone update?

PS (I have basic cable, so it would have been an CBS, ABC, NBC or C-SPAN) network report. He raised the issue that FEMA would not even give him the list to notify his citizens of the election, and their ability to absentee vote that was like a month before.

We need to press for retoactive judegement, Iraq, NSA, CIA, Katrina, etc., the stupid Aspens are turning, lets not give the Neo con + old repub's any way out!
