Landrieu Backs "March on Washington"
WAFB ^ | 12/06/2005

Posted on 12/06/2005 5:04:21 PM PST by LA Woman3

NEW ORLEANS (AP) - U.S. Senator Mary Landrieu is supporting two mothers who are trying to organize a march on Washington to call attention to the plight of Hurricane Katrina evacuees.

The senator's staff Tuesday said that the rally is tentatively scheduled for December 14th, but organizers have not yet received a permit from the National Park Service to hold the demonstration.

Landrieu's deputy communications director, Sally Richardson, says U.S. Representative William Jefferson is also supporting the rally. She says the proposed rally is a good way of reminding people in Washington about those who remain displaced after Katrina and can't go home.

The protest is being organized by two women who have been living in Pittsburgh because New Orleans schools are still closed.

People have had three months to find a job and housing and generous people all over the nation have bent over backwards to help them find employment and housing. At this point anyone who is still stuck unemployed, and living in a hotel has no-one to blame but themselves. We can't let them suck on the government's teat forever.

The Million Milking It For All It's Worth March. Landrieu is a ditz. To the 'RATS, Katrina is the best thing that ever happened to Louisiana. A Socialist basket case can scream racism and force the American taxpayer to bail out their failed Socialist experiment.

Oh boy... just when you thought the storm might pass, Hurricane Handout kicks up the wind yet again.

The more I learn about that place, the more I realize that, other than being "party central", there wasn't much of anything else that went on there.

"the plight of Hurricane Katrina evacuees"

I don't think all the money in the world can help some of these people. I just heard about one woman who said there are concentration camps and mass graves of hurricane victims. The "plight" of that silly woman can't be fixed with money.

Saw part of the hearing in the House today on Katrina. They had a panel of "victims" that said the so called lack of help was racially modivated, that there was mass graves that hadn`t been disclosed yet, and that they were kept in concentration camps and guarded by troops with guns, and, if they were white, none of this would have happened. It was also GWB`s fault, of course, and their Mayor did a good job.
This may surprise some of you, but they demanded MONEY, said they deserved it.
Thought you might want to know.

What a bunch of in grates. Having lived in NO I know how corrupt it is, and it has gone down hill since them. Anyone who complains, or marches on DC loses all government and private support. Anyone who relies on the government to solve their problems has a lot of heart ache coming.

Government does have a role as a light handed regulator, defender of rights specified, not as a charity.

You beat me to it. I was going to suggest that Ray Nagin be put in charge of bussing the marchers to Washington. Best way to insure they never get there.

U.S. Representative William Jefferson (D) Louisiana
is also supporting the rally

And he's hoping that everyone will forget about his exploits during the aftermath.

I was in Houston Thanksgiving week and stayed a an extended stay hotel. Full of Katrina escapies. Some were driving BMW's. Just milking the system. Really bad people who won't take responsibility.

For many of them, I think thats all they know. Before the storm they were on the government's teat and expected nothing but handouts. After the storm its the same thing, except that the handouts have gotten bigger. Decades of liberal entitlement programs have created generations of adults who have no idea what hard work is, or how to take responsability for themselves.

As a parent, there is one absolute that I stamp on their brain every chance I get - "and whose responsibility was that?"

My boy is still convinced that money grows on trees. He is learning - "You want money? Do some work around here!" - but it is a battle.

I know I'm not the first one to think of these things, but it just pisses me off to read about adults that think this way.

Take the easy way out of life's responsibilities - vote Democrat!
