***MEDIA ADVISORY*** Cao to Host Town Hall on Chinese Drywall

Washington, DC - Congressman Anh “Joseph” Cao (LA-2) will conduct a public town hall and briefing about Chinese drywall for Louisiana residents whose homes were rebuilt with this tainted material.

The event will be held on Monday, December 14, 2009 from 9:00am - 11:00am CST at The University of New Orleans (UNO), Homer L. Hitt Alumni Center.

Cao will lead a panel of government safety officials including representatives from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the Louisiana Recovery Authority (LRA) and state elected officials to provide updates on the work each is doing to combat Chinese drywall.

The only Republican that voted for cloture on the Health Care bill...

We can't fight Socialism or Terrorists, but we can "combat Chinese drywall".

Yes, my friends... we are in process of losing the country.

Cao needs to be purged; not in the sense that those who now rule his homeland would do, only in the political sense.

[Western Phil]

I think he comes from district that had the freezer cash guy. Heavy democratic. RINO might be the best you could ever do there.

Cao represents a district that is majority minority -- Cold Cash Jefferson's old seat.

Tainted drywall would be a perfectly legitimate concern in his district, which had to be massively rebuilt after Katrina.

If Boehner had needed Cao's vote to kill Obamacare, he would've had it. Cao's was the last vote cast on the measure, after it had already received a majority.

A day will come when we need that vote. So, why "purge" him from the party?

Homeowners can’t get insurance if their homes have Chinese drywall. He is actually doing his job for his constituents.

“Tainted drywall would be a perfectly legitimate concern in his district, which had to be massively rebuilt after Katrina.”

You are correct. Due to all of the building that took place after Katrina, and still continues, many parts our area have been plagued with this problem. All manner of homes, pricey and not so pricey, have had to deal with the ugly blight caused by this material. Sean Payton, the coach of the New Orleans Saints and the lead plaintiff in a class action lawsuit on the subject, is among those who had to move their families while their homes were being gutted and repaired.

Here’s a glimpse of his house in Mandeville located across the lake (Pontchartrain) from New Orleans.
