PLEEZ - Ms PELOSI - Send some more troops, NOW>>>>

Dear Ms. Pelosi,

We are dying here. The Katrina committee is a farce, you are right. We understand. But they are getting away with bloody murder. Please reconsider and send in the Democratic troops.

Brown is telling outright LIES about how Blanco didn't include NOLA and adjacent parishes in her request for disaster relief. Stephen Buyer R-IN, repeated it. This is a lie and here is the proof....



WHAT BLANCO ASKED FOR: SHE INCLUDED ALL PARISHES

WHAT BUSH ISSUED…HE LEFT OUT NOLA AND ADJACENTS
Statement on Federal Emergency Assistance for Louisiana


The President today declared an emergency exists in the State of Louisiana and ordered Federal aid to supplement state and local response efforts in the parishes located in the path of Hurricane Katrina beginning on August 26, 2005, and continuing.

The President's action authorizes the Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), to coordinate all disaster relief efforts which have the purpose of alleviating the hardship and suffering caused by the emergency on the local population, and to provide appropriate assistance for required emergency measures, authorized under Title V of the Stafford Act, to save lives, protect property and public health and safety, or to lessen or avert the threat of a catastrophe in the parishes of Allen, Avoyelles, Beauregard, Bienville, Bossier, Caddo, Caldwell, Claiborne, Catahoula, Concordia, De Soto, East Baton Rouge, East Carroll, East Feliciana, Evangeline, Franklin, Grant, Jackson, LaSalle, Lincoln, Livingston, Madison, Morehouse, Natchitoches, Pointe Coupee, Ouachita, Rapides, Red River, Richland, Sabine, St. Helena, St. Landry, Tensas, Union, Vernon, Webster, West Carroll, West Feliciana, and Winn.

Specifically, FEMA is authorized to identify, mobilize, and provide at its discretion, equipment and resources necessary to alleviate the impacts of the emergency. Debris removal and emergency protective measures, including direct Federal assistance, will be provided at 75 percent Federal funding.

Representing FEMA, Michael D. Brown, Under Secretary for Emergency Preparedness and Response, Department of Homeland Security, named William Lokey as the Federal Coordinating Officer for Federal recovery operations in the affected area.

This is a total travesty !!

and shouldn't

They are simply saying ANYTHING they want and getting away with it and people are hearing it.

We need to have a dissenting voice. IMO, We must forgo the original issue about partisanship issues.

They are telling bold-faced lies that we can not let by.

Please listen to the committee meeting on C-SPAN later and hopefully that will change your mind...

It's obvious they're not going to play fair so why should we?

Take a stand. It's about time to fight back! Long over due!

told Dem's, they can't have wittness and didn't want to hear anything what they had to say! Enough said.

I agreed with you at first too, but after hearing the meeting it was totally obscene that we could not refute one single thing. This will be our last chance to hold him accountable!!!

Nancy should be yelling about this and refruting this. We should hold our own hearings. No more playing nice!

Republicans have over ride (218 votes), they will have independent hearing on this matter!
