NEW ORLEANS, LA -- AUGUST 14, 2006 - St. Bernard Parish resident and Hurricane Katrina survivor Rockey Vaccarella is towing his honorary FEMA trailer to Washington D.C. on August 18, 2006 in hopes of having dinner with President Bush. Rockey is a true survivor who rode out Hurricane Katrina on his roof by holding on to a rope for four hours in one of the most devastated areas of the New Orleans region. He eventually swam to safety then got in a boat to help rescue others. Now Rockey is on a mission to find people like himself who've lost everything but want to go home. People that want to rebuild and refuse to give up. His mission will take him all the way to the White House where he will deliver a simple yet powerful message: "We want to thank President Bush and the American people for everything they have done so far for south Louisiana and the Gulf Coast region but, to remind everyone that the job is not complete and to please do whatever is possible to help clean-up and re-build so our people can return home." |

| No he is not a politician his family is life long residents of our great parish trying to do something for people not to forget about us. He is a normal average everyday person from our parish that has a heart of gold. |

| And it's not political at all. Of course not. Of course he's not a lifelong Republican local politician trying to help the government save face and get rewarded in the process. |
