Senator Santorum,

I am beyond outraged at your response to the New Orleans residents unable to evacuate from their beloved homes prior to Hurricane Katrina. Are you devoid of compassion or merely ignorant? Surely you are aware that a large percentage of those left behind were people too impoverished or infirm to leave unassisted. Where were you when they wanted to leave the city but could not?

Even those who remained voluntarily should not be chastized when their own president told Diane Sawyer on September 1, 2005, he didn’t think anyone anticipated levee breeches.

In my opinion, there should be penalties against complacent politicians who neglect their constituents in greatest need. Perhaps if you ceased advocating policies that oppress the poor and take steps to improve their standard of living we won't be faced with such a dilemma in the future.
