He should be Mayor of New Orleans

James Perry is an attorney and a fair housing advocate who is running as a candidate for Mayor of New Orleans, with the Democratic Party. I met Mr. Perry at the Netroots Nation 2009 conference and I had a brief conversation about his ideas to rebuild New Orleans, the city where he grew up and where he lives now even after his home was destroyed by hurricane Katrina.

Four years after Katrina, most of New Orleans is still destroyed. The city shows what James Perry calls an unsuccessfully recovery and there is an urgent need to restore public safety, increase accessible housing, and to rebuild many neighborhoods that havent recovered at all.

How's that "HOPE and CHANGE" going for YOU? "Progressive" BS. Now "WE THE PEOPLE" are paying in money and lives to protect CHINA'S minerals in AFGHANISTAN. Looks like BUSHTARD4 to me; with "CHANGE" on nothing. Now N.O. gets the Haliburton false flag oil rig. They bought "Boots and Coots" days before they "fixed" the rig; that blew up 20 hrs later. BP, JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs linked to "shorting" and dumping stocks, like TransOcean, leading up to the event for ENRONS (Ken Lay) carbon credits. BS

We can't even help our own this is disgusting! We are spending millions daily on a war, our Seniors are living on Social Security below the poverty level, and now we going to help Hatti? Get real! The US needs to clean up our own back yard before traipsing off somewhere else! Thanks for your hard work Love!
