Rebuilding after Hurricane Katrina

Quote of the Day: New Orleans Pastor and Activist Michael Jacques

"We've had senators, we've had representatives, congressmen come in. We've had the president come down 12 times. And I say to myself, what part don't you get? Why aren't you releasing money?"

-- The Rev. Michael Jacques, pastor of St. Peter Claver Catholic Church in New Orleans and a leader in All Congregations Together, a member of the PICO National Network that is encouraging Congress not to limit emergency spending legislation that will help rebuild housing after Hurricane Katrina.
