Hurricane Katrina roared in with 150+ mph winds and a tidal surge that towered over the buildings that it was about to crush.
So the cleanup began. The American Red Cross, the Southern Baptist Disaster Relief, the national Guard, and thousands of huge hearted volunteers arrived. The chore of clearing debris made even more difficult by the knowledge that as the next remnant … (2 comments)

In reaction to this, the Congress approved the house bill number HR 4440 on December 16, 2005 which was days later signed by President Bush.

With tax season here, could you be thinking "I could have done better?" Look at the "GO Zone". The two year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina went by, many media outlets are featuring articles and reports (MSNBC, Rising from the Ruin) reminding us how devasting that storm was by documenting the hardships of the rebuilding process in the Gulf region, a process that for some is taking far too long. Most people read or watch these reports and articles then look at the pictures and think to yourself, "could this truly be our country?". The answer is yes, this is our country. More importantly, what can we do about it? Very … (0 comments)
