FEMA still screwing New Orleans

Dear xxx,

Please read this article from the New Orleans Times Picayune.

A huge part of the disaster in New Orleans was the failure of levees build by the Army Corp of Engineers. These levees were poorly engineered. Specifically, the walls along the Industrial Canal and 17th Street Canal did not have footings sufficient to deal with the poor soil strength.

Given that the disaster was caused, in large part, by failures by the federal government, holding Louisiana to the matching funds requirement is compounding the injury.

Please unlock the FEMA funds!

cheers,
