"...Katrina may have battered the levees, but it also exposed silent storms that have ravaged parts of this city and our county for far too long --the storms of poverty and joblessness, inequality and justice. These are the storms that swirled before Katrina hit."
Barack Obama
Tulane University in New Orleans, Louisiana 2/7/08
If you have ever stopped a group of stubborn first-graders from arguing, you will have an idea of the amount of stress I have experienced over the last two years to get certain key Louisiana and US legislators to act upon the behalf of New Orleanders to either repair the levee system or to move the city across the Lake Pontchartrain-Causeway Toll Bride to engulf the town of Chinchuba before these citizens drown themselves through their own ineptness to elect compassionate leaders who are capable of allocating funds needed to keep themselves stationed in their lofty Washington D.C. thrones to speak upon the behalf of THE GOVERNED. But why should those of us who live on the Mississippi's River Bend, which includes Madison and St. Clair, Illinois counties, care about what happens ten hours away on the Mississippi's delta? For those who do not understand how our Legislative Branch of Government works to remedy the catastrophes brought to us by the forces of nature, I will
give you one key word that should explain it all: TAXES.
Unfortunately, since August 29, 2005, Louisiana's Legislature has been using the money Congress has allocated them to rebuild their libraries and the Superdome while continuing to neglect residential sectors like Lakeview. While it is true that the above named structures can protect THE PEOPLE OF NEW ORLEANS from high winds, why should we idly sit by and wait for a storm the size of Katrina or bigger to rip apart the levee system again to trap THE PEOPLE OF NEW ORLEANS so that they stand the chance of drowning when these buildings flood? Why should we allow OUR FELLOW COUNTRY PEOPLE to return to New Orleans when "[t]here is no [armory] to protect them because the 'repaired' Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet levees are already eroding from mere rainfall" (Van Heerden & Bryan, 292, paraphrased)? Why should we allow the Legislature of Louisiana to misappropriate the money other state and national legislatures give to them that is accrued from us as a collective whole during
tax season? How can you now idly sit by and let this knowledge physically kill THE PEOPLE OF NEW ORLEANS and in time ourselves financially? As a side, I'm reminding those that are racially motivated that New Orleans houses more than just Creole peoples. Harry Conick Jr. is from New Orleans, and the last time I looked at him, he looked pretty Caucasian, and not the usual light-brown tone some people accuse others of obtaining through the mixing of African peoples with French or Spanish peoples.
It is only now that I digress back to our beloved River Bend. I wonder, if Jefferson had appointed someone like John Russell to explore the land associated with the Louisiana Purchase and Russell brought people like Benjamin Godfrey and the Cherokee women who attended Monticello College with him, would we, today, be faced with the dilemmas Katrina brought to us ? I don't think so. For you see, if we stick to the story-line of Lewis' and Clarks' expeditions while bringing in the personalities of those associated with the retrieval of long-vanished Piasa Bird paintings and moral up-keeping of Monticello College, there would be a person like Harriet Haskell who would buy the land from the French just to keep "undesirable neighbors" (like Godfrey was before he used his ill-gotten gains to found Monticello College) out of "THEIR CREATOR'S" "little acre" until the "little acre" collapsed after the liberation of those who inhabited it. I attribute this paragraph's digression
to John J. Dunphy. Dunphy's book, It Happened At the River Bend, contains pertinent historical retellings about the River Bend and the Louisiana Purchase. The key word of: TAXES came up during a conversation I had with my uncle Marion Springer. In the murk of all of this, I forgot the common thread that binds us all together, the common thread named: TAXES. It is now that I urge you all to copy the petition I have formed below, sign it, pass the petition to others you are associated with and when you have finished mailing the petition back and forth to one another, mail the petition to me at PO Box 152 Wood River, IL 62095 so I can tell Congress once and for all to move the City of New Orleans as it will be too expensive to form the barrier reef needed to repel future hurricanes away from the City of New Orleans before we all end up bankrupt because a few key legislatures want to line their pockets with OUR MONEY as well as the BLOOD OF THE PEOPLE OF NEW ORLEANS.

We, the undersigned citizens of THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, are demanding that Congress stop using the money generated by collecting our tax money to upkeep the levee system in New Orleans. We, the undersigned citizens of THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, are demanding that all actions needed to move the City of New Orleans commence to protect THE PEOPLE OF NEW ORLEANS' RIGHT TO LIFE:
