Where is Shelia Jackson Lee as people pour into Houston?
Houston Chronicle ^ | September 3, 2005

Posted on 09/03/2005 5:18:43 AM PDT by Cincinatus' Wife

I've searched but can not find news of Rep Shelia Jackson Lee.

She represents the 18th Congressional District in the city of Houston, TX.

Why isn't Shelia in the Astrodome meeting, greeting and helping the victims from New Orleans, alongside the rest of the Houston volunteers?

David Asman quoted "You're not from Texas but Texas wants you anyway" and that really brought tears to my dry jaded eyes for the first time.

I think nobody drawing welfare benefits, or without a job should be allowed to vote.

Mary Landrieu said Bush ought to appoint a manager for the recovery to take over for the state and local officials. I was stuned to hear sense coming out of her a-rat mouf.

If these race baiters think white people don't care, then why don't they get their own sorry rear ends down to NO and MS and mobilize black Americans to help out?

I have seen plenty of white Red Cross, Salvation Army, and shelter volunteers. People like the corrupt Mosely Braun are the scum of the earth.

She, like so many on the Hill, think they're royalty.

She does not celebrate success and independent action.

It would put her out of business.

Makes my stomach churn. These people need help, not photo opts... I KNEW this would happen, right now they (Sharpton, Lee, Jackson) are beside themselves worrying that these people will find out that every one in America is not a racist pig and we really care about their plight....

After all if these people learn the truth then they would no longer be beholden to these people who continue to use them for their own personal means.....

If the good Revererand Sharpton and Congresswoman Lee care so much. why are they in suits? Why aren't they in jeans and T-shirts and helping pass out meals, water, etc... cleaning the restrooms... any number of things.
