Liberal Blogs for Hurricane Relief!
"This is a desperate SOS," "Right now we are out of resources at the convention centre and don't anticipate enough buses. We need buses. Currently the convention centre is unsanitary and unsafe and we're running out of supplies."
*Mayor Nagin of New Orleans*
"The people who are in New Orleans are - in all honesty - dying and there could be a lot more casualties unless there's a lot of help, real fast."
*Bill Quigley of Loyola University.*
"I started making calls and trying to impress upon the White House and others that something needed to be done," "The State resources were being overwhelmed, and we needed direct federal assistance, command and control, and security -- all three of which are lacking."
*Rep. Charles W. Boustany Jr., (R-La.)*
"Some people there have not eaten or drunk water for three or four days, which is inexcusable," *Joseph Matthews NOLA Office of Emergency Preparedness*
"We're just a bunch of rats." "That's how they've been treating us."
*Earle Young, 31, a cook outside Superdome*
"We are like little birds with our mouths open, and you don't have to be very smart to know where to drop the worm," "It's criminal within the confines of the United States that within one hour of the hurricane they weren't force-feeding us. It's like FEMA has never been to a hurricane."
"They're telling us everyday that they're getting us out of here. We're waiting. We're waiting."
*Ashley Richardson, a nurse at Charity Hospital in New Orleans.*
Hurricane Katrina destroyed thousands of lives.
