How can the voters in New Orleans vote Nagin back in?
612359
Hey, there's been worse guys voted back in.  Does anyone remember a certain mayor of D.C.  Busted for drugs, sent to jail, got out and was given his old job back.  The reason I heard was that he understood his constituency.

People need to elect leaders that actually want to do a job, not just pose for photo opportunities.  Katrina would have been bad, but resources could have and SHOULD have been placed so that they could have been brought in immediately after the hurricane passed.  Lives and billions of dollars in property could have been saved.  Also, people need to get a realistic appreciation of money--it is good for what its spent on.  Saving money by not reinforcing levees at New Orleans, or at Sacramento, Ca., is equivalent to a homeowner saving money by not putting on a roof.  OK, you saved a billion dollars by not fixing the N.O. levees, and now you get to pay 200 times that much to repair the damage.  It is not that hard to figure out. Voters are propagandized by the republican media but they better figure things out fast.

No I don't think so and I am so sick of hearing the race card get played.\n\n1st of all Mayor Nagin had the power to evacuate his City before even bothering to contact the President but Mayor Nagin failed.\n\n2nd of all a lot of residents of New Orleans chose to stay in their homes when they were warned.

You answered it yourself.  They are just stupid.  He single handedly killed many people by leaving all those buses in the parking lot to get flooded.  I guess the more people you kill, the more votes you get.  The feds response was horrible, but wouldn't have been necessary if Nagin had heeded the warnings instead of being defiant in the face of a monster storm.

Ray Nagin wont like this answer because I am white and older than he is. Tis true he had a hard job after the hurricane, and for that he should get big props. But after hearing his thinly veiled racial "chocolate city" references as well as other citizens of New Orleans at the mikes, maybe he should solicit help from those americans whose color matches his chocolate city remarks. oh yeah he shuffles and says gosh i was just joking, but he got caught and was trying to slide it off. Come On Ray Nagin, your city needs a really dynamite leader now- quit trying to play the race card.

His attitude isn't bad, it just is different than what you have.  He should have not gotten re-elected, but it basically was a black/white issue.  Blacks voted for him, whites voted against him.  The whites of New Orleans see how blacks feel on the national level now. Because you are a minority your candidate will never win.  David Duke or Satan himself (if he was white) could run for president of the US against Barack Obama or some other major black candidate regardless of political affiliation and win.  It's a black/white issue, you don't think racism is here... HERE IT IS.  Just went the way you aren't used to seeing it.  Another interesting case of this was OJ, different reasons and whatnot, same thing though.  These are some of the very few cases where I think the blacks won and whites lost. It's a sucky feeling isn't it?  To be on the wrong side of the road, imagine if everything in the country everyday seemed to go this backwards.  Welcome to my world!\n\nOh, and by the way, he brings up black and white issues because in New Orleans black and white issues come up everyday.  I just came from down there a couple months ago, well, Baton Rouge. A lot of people are still there from Katrina.  It is ridiculous how the whites look at us in public.  They don't want to sit by us, look at us, or anything. I didn't do anything to them. That is why Nagin brings up race so much, because if he didn't he wouldn't have gotten elected.  No other candidates would have done anything to help the lower class, they never do.

Hilary Clinton, becuase I thnink Condi is a sell out to the GOP, besides the GOP does'nt fairly represent black people. Just look at New Orleans. Besides she wants to be the NFL commissioner when Bushs time is up.

I don't know! Did he go back to school and learn how to communicate with people? Not even half the people voted.\nHe got 60,000 of the votes. The other guy got 54,000 of the votes. That's not very much for either one of them. To me Nagin was a failure and so was the Governor during Katrina!

See link below. Internet fans do indeed get to vote. Of the 924 official votes, one will be cast by Nissan based on the Internet poll of all of us voting, aggregated together. Can vote once a week. So naturally your vote is diluted and doesn't count as much as Roger Staubach's, but hey, you didn't win two super bowls after serving in the Navy for 4 years. Go to:\nwww.TheHeismanVote.com

In certain states there is a form you fill out to send to the governor of that state to ask to reinstate your right to vote. I know KY is one but other states you have to go before a Clemency board. I found this article:\n\nState-by-state look at the voting restoration process for felons\nBy The Associated Press  |  April 1, 2006\n\nEvery state has a different process for restoring voting rights to ex-felons. An estimated 5.3 million people nationwide are ineligible to vote because of a felony conviction, according to The Sentencing Project, an advocacy group in Washington, D.C.\n\nArticle Tools\nPrinter friendly \nE-mail to a friend \nR.I.

In your county or parish, you should register first. The location will be based on your residential address. \n\nLook up the "Department of Elections" or "Supervisor of Elections" on the internet or in the phone book. Call there and find out what you need to do to register to vote. \n\nIf you are not registered, you cannot vote. If you are registered, just call the aforementioned government offices to get directions to your assigned voting precinct. Good Luck!!!
