[Dialogue] We need your help with Congress

[Carlos R. Zervigon]

Dear Colleagues

In the few days after the collapse of levees following Hurricane Katrina,
this list had many messages about the situation in the middle Gulf Coast.
There has been very little if anything recently. This is not my attempt at
guilt tripping but only pointing out that even among the most sensitive and
socially responsible people on the planet time eclipses attention spans. The
media moves on quickly. Thankfully CNN has maintained a presence here but
even they as is normal are responding more to the new hot buttons. The
conversations in the Wedgeblade Dialogue, of late, have covered many serious
global issues and I for one am glad that we continue to want to proactively
influence the course of history. However, with an administration that finds
every excuse to cut spending and the with the competition for remaining
federal dollars, the willingness of Congress to do what it takes for our
region is at best weak. If those of you in or from the US could periodically
contact all of your state's congressional delegations urging that New
Orleans and the surrounding area not be forgotten, I do believe it would
help.

Thanks in advance
