They do such good work. I
They do such good work. I hope everyone continues to remember Katrina and the Gulf Coast. This government deserted hundreds of thousands of our people along with an entire city. This government still doesn't care about these people or this city, except to grand stand.
Everyone better get their emergency kits together. A different kind of emergency could happen in your area and there may be no one there to help.
