<DIV>I don't have the addresses handy, but I would suggest President George W.
Bush, the Governor of Louisiana, the Governor of Mississippi, Haley Barbour,
your own congress reps and your state's U.S. senators, and any construction
trades associations you can turn up in a simple web search. It wouldn't hurt to
write to the NAACP and the Urban League, the AFL-CIO, and the president of
Service Employees International Union, Andrew Stein, who may not have thought of
this yet.</DIV>

<DIV>"Concerning the down-and-out chronically unemployed and unemployable
among the refugees, we came up with a good plan discussing this before church
this morning. Every contractor from outside the disaster area that comes in to
get work on rebuilding should be required to hire one new apprentice from the
local population for every journeyman or master of any trade they bring in as
part of their crew."</DIV>

<DIV>Brilliant! Who do we contact to make it happen?</DIV>
