Without good people helping you would be seeing a real disaster.

Take these government fools to a duck blind by boat at 4 oclock dark and we will see who needs the fucking training. They would all probably crap in their damn pants.

Reelection is gonna suck for him.

Politician Trying to Capitalize off of Cajun Navy

Instead of acting like some of you know it all, why not stop and look at what he is trying to do. All he is trying to do is have it organized so they can LEGALLY go behind barricades or the likes when an emergency happens. Like Trooper David said that if there are barricades no one can go behind them unless it is an organization that are certified and face it some of you know people who own boats shouldn't have them. Any how you got the money doesn't mean that you can buy and know how to operate a boat safely. So why not try and do what TonyB posted in an earlier thread?
And as far as scaring Perry on your way to a duck blind, that just won't happen because he has been through a lot of things in his life.
So ccome on and jump my sh!t but, what he is trying to do would help all of you.

I've known JP for over 20 years....one of the best guys you'll ever meet. He was trying to help the volunteers, but it's shot to shit now. The only people really supporting him are some of the guys who volunteer every time there's a flood, and have to deal with the BS every time.

I had no trouble going through a barricade onto I-12 as the State Trooper waved me by while heading to Millerville Road on Sunday. The EBR Sheriff's Deputy was directing traffic for those launching boats onto Millerville Road. The Army National Guard had no reservations about loading wheelchair bound patients from their vehicles into our boats. What I experienced on Sunday was simply civilians working seamlessly with local, state and federal agencies....no questions asked.....in a time of need.

Ascension Parish was a totally different story the next day. I did take issue with Ascension Parish leaving volunteers standing around and turning people away that wanted to help. Maybe they had it under control....or thought they did? But, I was told by a FD individual that the parish was concerned with liability of having non-trained/non-certified individuals performing rescues. The Parish leaders were wrong for taking that stance. Louisiana has a Good Samaritan Law which removes liability from individuals aiding in rescue during an emergency. I cut/pasted that Statute further below.

Sure, there are people (and boats) that probably had no business being on the water in some of the conditions I experienced Sunday and Monday. But, in these circumstances, government officials should utilize all available resources at their disposal.

Qualifying/certifying volunteers as rescue personnel....just so they can cross a barricade....is ridiculous. To use Perry's analogy on the talk show clip, where he said something about you wouldn't want the Smith's showing up to fight the fire if your house was on fire...you would want the trained firefighters. If the "Smith's" showed up at my house to put out the fire, I wouldn't turn them away if they were driving a tanker truck full of water, either.

Government has already become the shepherd to the point that organizations wanting to donate hot, cooked meals can't give this food to sheltered people because it wasn't prepared by certified food service workers. Why not let me decide if I want to eat something cooked by a volunteer or by the company that had the lowest bid to get the government contract? What's next? Can't let my local (or visiting) Church volunteers gut sheetrock/insulation because they're not members of the local carpenter's union? They haven't received proper OSHA training on how to put on a dust mask and safety glasses? They (and we) are called VOLUNTEERS for a reason.

Do we really need the government making the simplest of decisions for us?

If Perry thinks there is a new law needing to be created for volunteers....why not create one that gives local and state government the free will to utilize volunteer resources as their own without worry of consequence?

So, somebody just sent me a link to his Facebook post "clarifying" his position. That was NOT the message he gave in the first KPEL interview.....which, BTW, has been pulled from their YouTube account.

Just saying.....

I saw this prick on the news yesterday. from what I gathered from the katc tv3, he is just another piece of shit politician trying to keep people from helping other people, that is, unless they pay the government 75$ or so apeice on a permit first.
he is the picture boy of a slimmy azzhat, sorry azz, big government politician. I think whoever has voted this stupid motherfuker in should be sterilized so they can't reproduce.

like Obama says.... elections have consiquences. whoever has voted this prick in deserves what they get.

as a person who has actually gone out and helped in every car wreck, boat wreck, natural disaster, and bad situation I come across in the last 35 or 40 years, I am pissed off as hell that some slapnut politician is gonna try and tell me to 'stand down' when I need to act like a 'textbook american'. it goes against everything American.

fuk him and all of his cum guzzlers. he should be beaten half to death, tar and feathered, and run out of town for trying to make money off of God fearing people.
i'll never go save his azz, or his supporters.

I can assure you, I do not know it all. but I know a bs-sandwich when I see it.
what I do know, is that when I load up folks into my skiff to get them to dry ground, I have yet to be asked for my politician approved certification card. they usually are asking if their pets can come or to go next door and get their neighbors.
If I thought that people were dumb enough to vote me in, i'd do it in a second. great retirement and I am not responsible for anything no matter how retarded it is. plus white wemon.

I helped cook for the local neighborhood that is still flooded, do I need a permit for that too? what if I go help my podna go tear the walls out of his camp tomorrow, will I need a certification for that? where will it end?

I may have gotten carried away with my adjectives, for that I do apologize.

they talk about stopping people from saving folks after every storm/flood. it makes the gov look bad when a bunch of coonazzes show them up.

"Plus White Women" instant classic !!

I had no trouble going around the roadblocks at all. Officer was directing traffic the other way, stopped me and asked what I was doing, he just waved me thru. That was at Florida blvd and range. I had law enforcement on the boat several times. Went to a house that the officers couldn't get to and they asked me if I thought I could. I knew I could get there. Had some type of officer on that ride as well. I really don't know what department she was with.

This was at another area. Fire department asked if I could help. They also asked if I could go to another area (they did not have a boat). But that they had another emergency to tend to. I tried to drive there, we had evacuated that neighborhood. But the traffic was stopped. I left my vehicle and walked up to help and everybody and their brother had tied stuff together and formed a human chain so to speak with a lifeline. They brought the whole family out through some swift water. I had jumped in and I saw the first gal she was scared and crying, the second gal you could really see the fear in her as they passed her from person to person. I was the last in line and in water maybe waist deep. I grabbed her arm and said its going to be ok. She bust out uncontrollably crying and was still hysterical when I left.

Need I say more than this kinda shit MOSTLY happens when you elect Democraps !!! Prime example in Louisiana, higher taxes and more regulations!!

God bless the volunteers. The volunteer spirit made America great. In our country's infancy, and in the 'winning of the west,' the government (federal, state, and local) was so limited that the people had to do most everything themselves, from fighting fires to fighting battles. America still has a 'can do' spirit, and it needs to be promoted, not regulated.
