Kathleen Blanco: “You know, here in Louisiana, we feel like we are citizens of the United States who are nearly forgotten.”

We had to come out here because Blanco didn't do her job. We had to come out here and find my mother's body.

We are working with local leaders, we are working with churches and we're asking FEMA to allow churches who so desire to use some of their land to set up these interim housing units.

The only people who are deserving of Katrina fatigue are the Louisiana folks who have been in the trenches now for over two months.

We would not be here today if the levees had not failed.
