Two years after Katrina and thousands are still w/o homes

Petition: http://WhenTheSaints.org It's been two years since Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast region, and still there are tens of thousands of families without homes. 30,000 families are scattered across the country in FEMA apartments, 13,000 are in trailers, and hardly any of
the 77,000 rental units destroyed in New Orleans have been rebuilt. Support
the Gulf Coast Recovery Bill of 2007 by signing the petition at

Same on you U.S.A !!!!! they are tax paying american citizens . if they didn't pay the tax then you would have no problem getting to them then and putting them in jail or maybe even taking what ever they have left. it's a sad day in the U.S.A>

What do you think Bush ??

Take some of that money you're spending on the war and help them people out it's the right thing to do and you know it.

Hello, i'm Jim from Norway. What i'm hearing and wathcng of withnesses bearing report of how their threatened after Katrina, is just chocking and totally a shame. I must say, we are just 5 million people in our country, but what we have heard from Bush and now Obama is that they have controll over the situation. Does not seem so to me. I imediately urge Us Government to push forward those promises made ensuring the welfare of the black population of that area.

Thank You!! I've been saying the excact same thing for years !! But when people of a certain color been suckin on the ole govt titty for generations they don't know how to help themselves, they're used to someone always there with a helping hand and a check.

The mishap of Katrina resurrected PTSD symthoms, that I functionally deal every day. My home of 32 years had irreplacable memories of my children growing up going off to college, returning w/ more momentos. I had a near psychotic break when I found pictures of my rooms b4 katrina. I wondered what was in that jewelry box, the kitchen 'catch it' drawers. I saw my bdrm, stereo, books, family friends enjoying. I did not lose expensive things because I am not extravagant. I lost pieces of myself.

put it like this if there is even a chance of a big storm hitting im getting the fuck out period!

[thelastoddum]

Also for the ignorant and the uninformed. There have been other hurricanes to hit besides katrina..this tiem the levees accually gave way..unlike before., so noone realized how bad it was , until that happened. Most of these people have had generations of family live there, so again fuck all of the ignorant,hateful comments against the people who suffered, lost their lives, or lost loved ones, beloved pets. Maybe one day something like this will happen in your town and you'll see what it's like

[thelastoddum]

a lot of these people could not get out, and there were a lot of people and not nearly enough ways to get everyone out..fuck these horrible racist comments, these people have had their families and live torn up, some people did abuse fema, but not everyone and not nearly half of the people that got it..a lot of people had children and families, and some people were old sick and poor..so ya, fuck all the mean, hateful, racist comments i saw on here.

[mstep3]

these people are always complaining about not enough being done.....so, get off your ass and do something about it.....pick up a broom and a shovel & clean up the shit in your front yard......why do you people think that the government and other americans always owe you something?

[MrPersecutor1]

I feel so sorry for all you poor americans. Its so unfortunate that your government really dont give a fuck about you. Look at the state of this place. While the government sends aid to lots of other countries and waste shitloads of money on the war in afganistan ( the CIA have to protect their Heroin dont they) . The good people of America suffer in silence. I hope you keep fighting and wish you all the best of luck from the United Kingdom.
