HOUSTON — With about 5,500 Hurricane Katrina evacuees in danger of losing their federal housing aid as early as this week, a prominent activist group sued FEMA on Tuesday in a bid to help refugees stave off the latest deadline a little longer.
The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, one of the most visible political groups in the wake of Katrina, and four refugees in Texas filed the suit in federal court in Washington on the one-year anniversary of the storm.

...5,500 families that would lose rental housing benefits ...FEMA found that more than 1,500 of those families did not suffer enough damage to qualify for the benefits...1,300 were living with someone who is already receiving assistance. Nearly 500 families provided an address for a damaged home that was not their primary residence...remaining 2,000 households that registered for benefits were disqualified for a number of other reasons, including not being able to demonstrate occupancy, not knowing whether their house was damaged,..."
Welfare reform - effectively reversed by ACORN? WTF?
This typifies the handout mentality of a great number of the New Orleans refugees. They had it handed to them in NOLA and now they want it continued over a year after the storm in other places. The pig trough is closed. No more slop.
Go back to NOLA that beacon on a hill, that garden spot of the old south. That cesspool of crime before, during and after the storm. Get a job. One year later...get a job. Work and earn money for rent. Work three jobs.....the Mexicans who invaded this country have had the good sense to get more than one job, why can't the NOLA people.
And now available at a store near you.........................NOLA Bars..All Chocolate and Full of Nuts" copyright applied for.
I'd say "read the rest." ACORN is accusing FEMA of sending unintelligible notices that don't really explain what is wrong. I.e. FEMA is guilty of acting like the bureaucrats they are, I suppose....
so typical of the gimme, gimme, gimme mentality..no one can tell me that after a year, they can't find some type of work that will support them..
anyone want to make a bet on what type of employment they had before they left NOLA?? Your choices are:
1) ain't never had no job
2) almost got a job once but sobered up
3) dealin
4) what's a job?
5) the gubmint gives me my money
You're absolutely right. They want wealth without work, and they'll even sue the innocent U.S. tax payers to get it.
without actually seein one of the notices, it's impossible for me to comment..
The Shadow Party: FrontPage Interviews Co-Author Richard Poe
"--SNIP--"
Poe: The Shadow Party is always changing. New groups form and old ones dissolve. For instance, America Coming Together -- which raised $135 million for Democrat get-out-the-vote drives in 2004 – has been mothballed, at least for now. The most active Shadow Party groups today are probably the Center for American Progress, America Votes, Democracy Alliance, the New Democrat Network, the New Politics Institute, ACORN and, of course, MoveOn.org.

Supposedly one got a letter saying "INO" that's it.
You an dme both SuzyQue! Not printable.
Somebody needs to explain to these folks that it's a safety net, not a hammock.
A year later and these people are still sucking on the public teat!!!!
But they are all funded by George Soros, a young Jew who worked for the Nazi's in WWII (later, he had his Jewish name changed to something more "unJewish"). He confiscated Jewish properties for Hitlers regime.
They were his his glory days. He wants them back.
Suing for FREE rent paid by taxpayers they weren't even LEGALLY ENTITLED to!!
see what this court case decides. It may be a legal precedent that you have a right to lifetime housing assistance in the event of a natural disaster.
So, because a hurricane hit, the country has to house them for free forever?
They'll keep riding the victim hood propaganda as long as they can. They're scroungers, i.e., low life democrats.
I think it's time they learned how to swim.
"They want wealth without work"
The sad part is they don't want wealth. Their whole life has been just getting by, on someone else's dime. No aspiration. Just existence. It's really sad, especially for the children.
