By the media? This is not only inordinately ignorant--black American citizens being represented refugees???--but I just read an article in a British newspaper online also using the word refugees: "President George W. Bush ordered thousands more troops to New Orleans on Saturday to help pull desperate refugees out of the hurricane-ravaged city...". So people the world over are reading about our "refugee" situation? STOP CALLING THESE PEOPLE REFUGEES! We know the sociopolitical connotation of this word and it is HIGHLY INAPPROPRIATE to be using it on our own people!

Has anyone written about this topic to local/national editors, papers, etc?

Word, and does anyone have an excel/word merge thing for the Senators and Congresspeople so that we can get at them about this and other issues?

Please reply.
