Stop Katrina shorthand today! InboxX Reply |Levees.Org to me show details 2:08 PM (22 hours ago) October 27, 2009 Dear Supporter Levees.org has launched its latest salvo to squash myths about the flooding on August 29, 2005. In metro New Orleans, the Stop Katrina Shorthand campaign is urging everyone to resist saying the flooding was caused by "Katrina." Katrina Shorthand promotes confusion, and leads American citizens-at-large to think the New Orleans region was simply overwhelmed by a natural disaster, when in fact, the flooding was primarily a man-made event. As a springboard for the new campaign, Levees.org is spotlighting a resolution unanimously passed by the New Orleans City Council urging all local media to refrain from using Katrina Shorthand. Written by Levees.org, the resolution was sponsored by President Arnie Fielkow and co-sponsored by Councilwoman Cynthia Willard-Lewis District E. Click here to see a 3-minute video about the campaign. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28jPUWDX_bA&feature=channel Levees.org will also offer "seals of approval" when local media resists Katrina Shorthand and instead reference the flooding as due to man-made failures. You can help by refraining from using Katrina Shorthand. Thank you for supporting Levees.org.
