Send your Beads to Bush!

Scout Prime, who's been tracking the sickening demise of federal support for the rebuilding of NOLA, has a new campaign for calling attention to the need for funding:

Send some old or new Beads to George. (any ol beads will do)
Place them in an envelope and address it to:

The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20500

Include this simple message:

Mr. President:
Please fully fund the additional $6 billion the Army Corps of Engineers needs to rebuild the levees for our fellow Americans in New Orleans.

Sign it and include either a "Friend of New Orleans" or a "Resident of New Orleans"

If you can.... please take a picture of yourself packing your beads. Email it to scoutp@charter.net and and we will post it to the Internets. (Ah need I say flash your beads only!)

With proper levee construction and wetland restoration people CAN live in New Orleans.

"Send your Levee beads to the President. Tell him we want New Orleans for another 300 years!"
