Hi, All - Thank you for the

Hi, All -

Thank you for the great videos and interview.

One clarification, though - Bennie Pete is not talking about buying trailers for Katrina survivors.

What Bennie, the Hot 8, KatrinaRitaVille Express and Finding Our Folk are advocating for is a full and fair recovery for all folks along the gulf coast.

Too many gulf coast residents and communities are still struggling to recover and survive while government and developers lurk over their shoulder, plotting and scheming of ways to devour their land, often the coast's marginalized communities, and profit from what was both a natural and man-made disaster.

Thank you again for the coverage - take care!

Karen
