>>In a statement issued Friday September 2nd, Congresswoman Barbara Lee (D-Oakland) lambasted the Administration's slow response and lack of action to help the Gulf Coast communities destroyed by Hurricane Katrina.
"The slow response to the needs of the people in the areas hit hardest by Hurricane Katrina is inexcusable.
