5. Jesse, Jesse, Jesse...Back Away From The Camera....
Let the people of New Orleans tell their story, we need to hear them and avoid giving wingnuts and Faux diversion points that we end up having to refute.

The right wing wants to play this as race...while it's really an economic/class matter. Let the CBC take the lead here...as they represent a lot of the victims and where they've relocated to. They also represent the next New Orleans or other urban tragedy, that sadly affects the poorest which generally means lots of black faces on the tube.

We need to see some poor whites speaking out. There's a lot who are being disenfranchised here as well and maybe it can turn the issue to the cronyistic regime that favors money and influence and ignores the poor...black, white, hispanic, man, woman and so on...it's not a racial matter, it's a human one.
