Hurricane Katrina Survivors Speak Our Against Democrat Rep Gregory Meeks

Victom of Hurricane Meeks

Whenever Democrats uttered, “Hurricane Katrina” it was a slam against President George Bush and all Republicans for the aftermath of the tragedy that befell New Orleans, Louisiana on September 3, 2005.

If you enter the name “Katrina” in Google, you’d get over 27 million hits and the hurricane is the first item that appears in the search.

That event was a tailored made template for Democrats that reinforces the deception and perception that all Republicans are racists and that’s the reason Blacks should continue to support the Democrat party at a rate of 95% and higher all across the country.

All the news organizations were gladly abroad promulgating the Katrina template and it continues to this day and will continue forever!

It was all a lie!

However, there is another side to the Katrina story of how these same Democrats like Rep Gregory Meeks, a Black politician decided to take advantage of his own people that he promised to help.

He raised over $31,000 through phony non-profit he started and never sent suffering New Orleanderss the money.

Where is the major media now?

Or is Black on Black crime not worth the bother?

The New York Post reports:

Hurricane Katrina left them with nothing but hope -- but Rep. Gregory Meeks took even that away, stiffed New Orleans families told The Post.

"For those people to use our tragedy for their gain, it's sad," said Catherine Phipps, 48, one of the Katrina victims who was given empty promises of aid by the Queens Democrat.

"It makes me want to cry. They're going to have to answer to a higher being."

The Post located victims who have returned to New Orleans, and they spoke out yesterday for the first time about Meeks' broken promises.

"I had on a pair of flip-flops -- those were my only shoes," Phipps said.

"Candace had us fill out some forms and asked us to write down what we needed. I thought that was crazy because I didn't have anything -- no clothes, no food, nothing."

The aid that had been promised never came.

In fact, after providing Sandy with laundry lists of essential items they needed for survival, the families say they never heard from her or the charity again.

Phipps, who now runs a small day-care center, said she and her family lost everything in the flood and were not able to move back into their Ninth Ward house until three years after the levees broke.

"My heart goes out to the people who thought enough about us to give that money -- unfortunately, it never made it to us," Phipps told The Post. "Everything we went through hurt like hell, and this is another
Full story blow."


Again, I ask why isn’t this story going national?

I don’t think Gregory Meeks is the only Dem pol who did this kind of thing.

What about the other members of the Congressional Black Caucus?

Maybe this story is too big to report?

Non Profit Scandal: Did 2 NY Dems Pocket Hurricane Katrina Money?

Malcolm Smith

Gregory Meeks

Rep Gregory Meeks, a member of the Congressional Black caucus, is under investigation for a familiar way CBC members love to steal taxpayer money by using non-profit organizations to hide their alleged dirty deeds in the name of helping people.

However, Greggie is not alone in the shenanigans; New York State Senator Malcolm Smith is also under suspicion for non-profit-money grabbing.

The New York Post reports:

Meeks' controversial charity, New Yorkers Organized to Assist Hurricane Families, is now under investigation by federal prosecutors.

According to its own filings, NOAH-F delivered just $1,392 of the roughly $31,000 it raised

"These people came down here, sold a good story and didn't deliver," said Louis Rainey, a former Louisiana Democratic political director who himself lost his home to Katrina.

"We didn't get the funds," Rainey told The Post.

"We never got a dime."

Meeks and state Sen. Malcolm Smith, also a Queens Democrat, established NOAH-F shortly after the storm to help 30 displaced families and made the new charity part of their previously organized New Direction Local Development Corp.

At the time, Meeks told the Times-Ledger, a Queens weekly, "Every dime, every dime, will go to these 30 families."

In another story reported by The Post relating to the deceitful use of non-profits:

Rep. Gregory Meeks secured a $100,000 federal payout for a Far Rockaway community group whose executive director is a frequent campaign contributor.

The Queens Democrat -- now facing scrutiny for his ties to a controversial Hurricane Katrina charity, earmarked the funds for Ocean Bay Community Development Corp.'s job-training program in the 2010 spending bills, while his campaign pocketed $1,500 from Ocean Bay's executive director, Patricia Simon.

"It's a form a legalized bribery," said Melanie Sloan, of the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. "Americans have to wonder if he is looking out for what is good for the country or good for his campaign coffers, and you really have no way to know."

The US Attorney's Office has launched a probe to find the missing money. The hurricane-relief effort was launched by a nonprofit group, New Directions Local Development Corp., founded by Meeks and state Sen. Malcolm Smith, also of Queens.

Both Meeks and Smith have said the New Directions was run by a board that made decisions about how its funds were used.

Oh, blame it on the board!

When is NBC, ABC, and CBS going to launch a serious journalistic investigation on how Democrats blatantly are using these non-profits?

I call on my bloggers to report these types of stories which I’m sure are happening in your hometowns as well.
