This is the 103rd Carnival of Hurricane Relief. Topic: Two Years and Counting. Two years after the landfall of Katrina, and so much remains to be done.
A Special Appeal from Karen Gadbois
Karen Gadbois has been working her fizzwanger off
to not just rebuild New Orleans,
but to rebuild it with style, grace and a history.
She is a perpetual motion machine powering Squandered Heritage and her posts have been frequently included in this Carnival.
(Her post this week describes a savory victory: a house not demolished.)
She wants your help to bring a presidential debate to New Orleans.
It makes sense that discussions about the nation’s domestic agenda take place in New Orleans, a city that is rebuilding its infrastructure and confronting social, environmental, and security issues on a daily basis. The funds to host the debate are already in place, the city has the hotel and convention infrastructure to be a gracious host and the effort has received endorsements from both sides of the aisle, including Senators Clinton, Obama, McCain and Governor Romney.
Deadline: September 11th. Click through now to find out how you can help.
The first Carnival of Hurricane Relief was hosted by Glenn Reynolds at the urging of Hugh Hewitt with the support of N.Z. Bear in direct response to the devastation wrought by Hurricane Katrina on the Gulf Coast in 2005. It also includes areas damaged by Hurricanes Rita and Wilma.
Hosts are needed! Posts are needed! Pictures are needed!
