Thanks Guest for those links.

I echo the comments of Joey Erwin, New Orleans, La, who was
one of those who responded to the last column and wrote:

"...It's time we take back American politics and demand change. I grieve for the loss of life in New Orleans and the rest of the Gulf Coast, I grieve for the city that will never be the same. But, I challenge those who are ready to move on to the next big story to please not let this one go. We were rejected on a federal level and people died, homes were lost and sickness will ensue. "

I also noted a reference to a Katrina Commission. Has the Congress actually declared that there will be such a commission?

There sure as heck needs to be one.
