Baton Quotes
I was very proud of them. It was heavy on their hearts and they moved fast. Peyton got the plane lined up. Their mother and I think that it did some good. I've heard so many comments from people in New Orleans and Baton Rouge. And after talking to the boys when I got back I could tell it did them some good, too.

Affected Quotes
The American people saw unforgettably how federal, state, and local governments failed the people of New Orleans just three weeks ago. What the American people don't realize is how they've all been short-changed for the past three years. Minorities are much more affected by kidney failure than whites. There's a dialysis boom on Indian reservations.

Care Quotes
That's what gives me the most confidence about its return. The cultural provenance of New Orleans stands out in a way that isn't true of other parts of the South. Having this identity that people care about could be critical, especially since there are events where the outside world looks in.

Achievement Quotes
I would just like to say it is a great feeling, a great accomplishment by our team. I am very proud of them. A credit to the New Orleans Saints, they came in here under adverse circumstances, obviously, missing some key players and they competed greatly today. We hung in there and we earned our 11th victory. We look forward to continuing the season at home next week. I am really proud of our football team.

Brother Quotes
I would love to get in the hot tub right now and get in the cold tub and get my legs back, ... But I'm sure there's a lot of people that would love to have their homes. They'd love to see their little brother walk through the door. What the New Orleans Saints are going through right now is a cakewalk.

Contact Quotes
Wilkinson had a lot of high-powered influence in the United States, Spain and France. Wilkinson commissioned Pike, but what were his motives? He had already sent men into New Orleans and Texas (still under Spanish control) on filibusters or spying missions. He was making contact with Spanish viceroys and selling information to Spain (U.S. military arrangements for $12,000).

Blew Quotes
We know the cost of rebuilding New Orleans is going to be far more than that of Mississippi, but ... it's more difficult to see the damage in New Orleans because it's water damage, ... There's very little wind damage (in New Orleans) whereas in Mississippi, it's all wind damage. And it's devastation. I mean, you can see it just blew down everything.

The first buses from New Orleans and Texas are already rolling toward Wisconsin, and evacuees will find temporary housing across our state. Wisconsin welcomes these evacuees with open arms.

Country Quotes
We know that there are folks out there who would use any excuse not to provide necessary funding to people who have lost so much in our community. It's all about perception. We understand the import of this whole thing, and we hope the rest of the country gets the message: New Orleans is not going to do things the way we used to do it.
-
Agree Quotes
We agree that every single foot of the I-walls is suspect. When asked, we have constantly urged anyone returning to New Orleans to exercise caution, because the system now in place could fail in a Category 2 storm. It has already failed during a fast-moving Category 3 storm that missed New Orleans by 30 miles.

Boost Quotes
We are delighted that Tom Benson decided to return to New Orleans and play the 2006 season in the Superdome. This was a very positive step in our rebuilding efforts and has already provided an enormous boost to the spirits of our community. Our group will work closely with the Saints to provide support at all levels -- selling suites and season tickets, identifying creative sponsorship arrangements, and generally working as hard as we can to help them succeed here.

Accept Quotes
Unfortunately the situation in New Orleans is a microcosm of our nation as a whole. Although our reliance on foreign savings and production are widely known, and most economists accept the fact that a real economic disaster would ensue should foreigners discontinue such subsidies, dump their hoards of U.S. treasuries, and refuse to exchange real goods for paper dollars. However, rather than perusing policies to rebalance our economy, we simply do nothing, and hope that day of reckoning never arrives. However, just as that strategy backfired in New Orleans , so, too, will it for America as a whole.

Anxious Quotes
We plan to rebuild as the city rebuilds. New Orleans is an important city to us. We have employees who are anxious to get back to work, but we don't want to give anyone false hope for when we will start more flights. We're looking at this much as we would look at a new startup city. We'll watch the trends.

Board Quotes
We are going to Washington to let the world people know how the U.S. government has turned their back on us - the ordinary people of New Orleans who have worked hard all our lives. Every Katrina survivor: get on board and let's fight for the help we need, and deserve, to return and rebuild our homes and communities.
-
Access Quotes
We are making steady progress as we gain access. Most customers will be restored within 30 days. However, some communities may take longer to rebuild in certain cases depending on when residents and businesses are able to return to these most affected areas and the time it takes to rebuild needed local infrastructure. New Orleans is an atypical situation given the floodwaters and access issues, and because of this, we will track restoration activity in New Orleans separately.

Artists Quotes
We want to be a part of the rebuilding process of New Orleans and we are dedicated to preserving the unique musical identity of our great city. I am in awe of the generosity and kindness of so many people and cities who are reaching out to provide us a home for this year's festival, the artists who are offering to perform and our fans and sponsors who are providing their continued support and patience during this difficult time.
