When celebrities tell our stories
Cokie Roberts has to be the one to tell the world that New Orleans is open for business and still seriously recovering from a flood of biblical proportions. Why can’t the world understand that these two situations can exist side by side?
Vote with your dollars – New Orleans needs tourism – this is what is going to keep us afloat. I hate to be such an ardent capitalist but when 9/11 hit, I told everyone to shop, because the terrorist hit our financial center and wanted to weaken us and the best thing we could do was shop. Now I say come to New Orleans, spend your tourist money here – and then become a proselytizer – go back and tell your people that this city is open for business and a good time can be had by all, BUT we are seriously in need of help to recover from a flood that would make Noah’s seem like another rainy day in the Big Easy.
