- go to this website and find your federal representative http://www.visi.com/juan/congress/
- call each one them and let them know you are angry about
a. 71 million being removed by bush from hurricane projects in New Orleans
b. The National Guard is in Iraq instead of guarding the nation. Specifically point out this story. http://abc26.trb.com/news/natguard08012005,0,4504131.story?coll=wgno-news-1 that speaks about the lack of equipment.
c. talk about the cuts bush made to fema
http://www.pamspaulding.com/weblog/2005/08/bush-fema-cuts-could-add-misery-to.html that are having a direct impact on New Orleans
d. talk about how he did ignore a warning issued by FEMA in early 2001, stating that a hurricane in New Orleans was one of three catastrophes most likely to hit the United States. (The other two, incidentally, were an earthquake in San Francisco, and a terrorist atack in New York.)
e. there is a amazing qoute about money being taken away from projects and given to bush's private war. I cant find it but it is powerful...if somebody can post it that would be great.
You are angry, you are intelligent..... use both and make an impact. Follow these calls up with LTTE stating the same things. Talk to your neihbors and friends.
dont just think about it. DO IT!!!!!!
