Explain to me how the title of this post is supposed to help your state.
The title was intended to get everyone's attention.
Quite frankly, I can't argue with what he's got in the petition.
There are some piss-poor people passing themselves off as legitimate politicians in Louisiana; I would hope that the locals start to see that, given the actions (or lack of action) of those politicians since September.
The larger question is whether or not the folk there have enough on the ball to see that and do something about it.
NOLA Mayor Nagin was here in Atlanta yesterday giving a "town hall meeting" where he insisted that NOLA residents (or former residents in many cases) should come back to New Orleans.
The general concensus was "come back to WHAT!?"
Most who attended have gotten on with their lives; acquired new jobs, new homes, started creating new lives for themselves here in Georgia.
Far as I'm concerned, Nagin needs to get off his posterior and get some positive action going on before he wanders the nation begging people to return to New Orleans in time to try to get his sorry butt reelected.
My only fear is that those who actually did go back would be stupid enough to reelect him.
And in that light, Liberty911's post is right on the money.
The people of Louisiana need to help themselves before any real and long term help will even be considered.
The politicians and public officils with their hands in the kitty need to have their hands... Well, you get the idea...
