Does anyone have Jimmy Carter's ear?

I wish he would come out and guarantee that Habitat for Humanity will commit to rebuild the homes of the poor in New Orleans.
That way they could start mobilizing supplies, manpower and money to this region.
It would also give these people a dream to hang onto while they are being shuttled around these shelters.

Habitat for Humanity plans ‘Operation Home Delivery’ for hurricane victims

AMERICUS, Ga. (Sept. 3, 2005) – Habitat for Humanity International is launching “Operation Home Delivery,” a three-phase response to help provide assistance and rebuilding opportunities in New Orleans and elsewhere along the Gulf Coast in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

”First responders are providing immediate aid right now, but, soon, efforts will be moving toward helping people rebuild their lives and their homes,” said Jonathan Reckford, Habitat’s chief executive officer. “We are working now to make sure we have just such a plan in place when conditions are at a point that rebuilding can get under way.”

Specifically, the plan focuses, first, on helping Habitat affiliates that were hardest hit by Katrina restore some level of service. Then Habitat will seek to serve as a catalyst with other organizations, governments, corporations, foundations, etc., to bring people together to talk about low-income housing and recovery on a scale that Habitat alone would be unable to do, and third, to establish and implement a “home in a box project.”

3. We need him now. On this and another key issue--voting rights.

Habitat for Humanity has a great model and should be part of the LA/MS recovery. That makes then an excellent candidate to be ignored given the incompetence of the Bush administration. Carter could help there.

Carter's also part of the Carter-Baker Commission on election issues. The logical conclusion of that work is get rid of ALL voting machines, go entirely to all plain paper ballots (no levers, no scaners, no punch cards). That would restore integrity to a rotting system.

Carter, speak up, we need you.
