I’m looking to find out who represented the views of those who were involved with hurricane katrina? Whether that be the state representative or the district representative for those involved?
Thanks!

Ray Nagin: mayor of New Orleans

The recent tragedies that hit the southern states (tornadoes and Mississippi River floods) caused massive damages to homes and businesses. In times like these, we learn that only the federal government has the power and the money to alleviate the suffering of the citizens. Will the Republicans finally stop insulting "big government" and learn to appreciate that it has more of an active role than just defense? It is good to see the Republican state governors standing with Obama and showing appreciation for the federal government’s role.

Republicans operate by the principle that the federal government should help them but shouldn’t help other people, especially not people that they don’t like. Everything else that they may say about the federal government is hypocritical nonsense. So, no, they won’t learn anything until they get past their narrow-minded, short-sighted, selfish views.
