david vitter, public housing & crime mike howells 2007-10-21 11:24 PM
In a recent opt-ed piece for the Times-Picayune U.S. Senator David Vitter justified his arguement against the Gulf Coast Housing Recovery Act , in part, by asserting that it fuels violent crime. This article examines official statistics regarding public housing and violent crime in New Orleans to test the validity of Vitter's assertion that public housing breeds violent crime. This study reveals that the mass demolition of New Orleans public housing in the 1990s and 2000s has not helped alleviate the homicide problem in Louisiana's largest city. (text/plain + 1 comment)

Letter from Family Evicted by Chase Bank and Toni Tannen Realtor Carmen Anderson 2007-10-21 5:51 PM
Introduction from a neighbor: Miss Carmen, an amazing grandmother, friend and activist, and the children she raises, live around the corner from our house in the 7th ward. 2 days ago they were all evicted from their home--the home carmen has lived in for 13 years-- another example of greed and apathy that exists post-Katrina (there was a realtor there just as they were moving their belongings out, hungry to sell the place). i visited her and the kids last night at the hotel they are staying; it's a temporary situation for 3 days and then they don't know where they will go. she wanted to spread the word about what happened and expose that such injustice still occurs here in New Orleans. she knows she's not the only one and hopes that through communicating her story, it will help not only her family but so many others who are going through the same.

Tired of the SOS of our elitist government BS? Join NOLA "Got Paulitics" and ge Ron Paul - Our Best Hope/Ed Ward, MD 2007-10-12 9:33 PM
Tired of the corruption, scamming, lying, spending, taxing and unresponsiveness of our current government. It appears a Constitutional Backlash is forming across America. Ron Paul is the only major candidate in either major party (both major parties and corporations are fearful of Ron Paul's insistence of a SMALLER and LESS POWERFUL federal government) that has consistently worked toward a return of Constitutional Rights for The People and restriction of this governments UnConstitutional powers. Quite voting for the "lesser of two evils" and vote for The Constitution, The People, Freedom, Peace and Rights. (text/plain)
