 http://www.ellabakercenter.org  “The truth is that the poor people of 
 Louisiana and Mississippi were deliberately left behind -- and not just 
 over the weekend. Our political leaders -- most especially George W. Bush 
 -- left them behind a long time ago. In the aftermath of this wholly 
 avoidable catastrophe, let us do all we can to rescue those who have been 
 abandoned. And then let us rescue the U.S. government from those who 
 engineered their abandonment.   At this point, we have a sacred duty to do 
 both.”  - Attorney Van Jones is founder of the Ella Baker Center for 
 Human Rights, in Oakland, California.      \n
