Who should have responded to Katrina? The President can Federalize control over a state’s guard on his own order, but doing so without a Governor’s consent to deal with an in state natural disaster would be a supreme insult to the Governor and the state.  In addition, using Federal troops for local police actions is against the law and has been since the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878. …The city’s own written evacuation plan requires the city to provide transportation for the evacuation of those without access to vehicles or with disabilities.  But Nagin did absolutely nothing to carry out this responsibility….we now know that even though the Red Cross was ready to bring food and water to the Superdome the day after the storm, Governor Blanco actually barred them from doing so!  http://www.humaneventsonline.com/article.php?id=8968

Blurring the lines between Canada Mexico and U.S. - The plan to build a North American community includes a border perimeter set around the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. It provides for the free flowing of people from country to country; allows for common police and military training; would recognize college degrees from any of the three countries; encourages massive student exchange programs; recommends that everyone learn English, Spanish, and French; allows for the free hiring of workers from any country; and, most disturbingly, recommends a North American Inter-Parliamentary Group. One cannot help but to ask the obvious question that the CFR's paper has all but stopped short of addressing: What will happen to the sovereignty of the American people and the United States if this plan were put into action? http://www.libertybelles.org/articles/defendingliberty.htm

Jack Kemp’s Recipe for New Orleans Recovery For example, the entire storm region could be turned into an enterprise zone, suspending burdensome federal regulations, such as the Davis-Bacon Act and the Jones Act. Also, onerous regulations imposed by the Federal Trade Commission, the Federal Communication Commission and the Environmental Protection Agency could be suspended. …Permitting processes could be streamlined and expedited to allow private investors to purchase rights of ways and other property to rebuild infrastructure, including not only roads and bridges but also sewage treatment plants and other utilities, which could be privately owned and operated on a fee/toll basis. The Federal government could pay to rebuild the levies under the condition that they were rebuilt by private contractors and with the understanding that the federal government no longer would provide federal flood insurance for any newly constructed structures, requiring all new building to be economically rational and privately insurable. http://www.thevanguard.org/index.asp?url=http://www.thevanguard.org/thevanguard/other_writers/kemp_jack/050905_jack_kemp.shtml
