WASHINGTON - New Orleans is facing a crisis which could violate the 1965 Voting Rights Act. Black leaders such as New Orleans past Mayor Marc Morial, Rev. Jesse Jackson, Rev. Al Sharpton have come together to form a national coalition calling for the State of Louisiana and the Justice Department to protect the rights of over 151,000 displaced black and white voters and to formulate a plan for providing satellite voting for voting outside of Louisiana.
Urban League President and past Mayor of New Orleans Marc Morial and many other influential black leaders are proposing satellite voting which would improve participation in the coming New Orleans' elections on April 22, 2006.
After the wrath of hurricane Katrina, close to 201,000 residents of New Orleans' were forced to relocate to other U.S. states. A majority of these residents, who are black registered voters have the right to vote on April 22, 2006. The black leaders argue that city elections could violate the 1965 Voting Rights Act.
The Secretary of State Al Atler's Spokeswoman said that out-of-state voting operations are not legal under Louisiana law. Last week Louisiana's election plan was approved by the Justice Department which immediately raised questions about inadequate voting options for thousands of displaced residents of New Orleans. The key issues at hand are problems with frequent movements of precinct locations, the refusal of displaced voter information for candidates and the confusion of absentee ballots.
On Saturday April 1, 2006 groups protesting the election are calling for a march in New Orleans to protest the upcoming elections they claim could violate one of the most important civil rights in U.S. history.
Satellite voting would enable thousands of displaced voters from New Orleans to vote for the candidate who will ultimately help shape post Katrina New Orleans.
Fact: After Hurricane Katrina thousands of cats and dogs were displaced from their owners. Every dog and cat which had a VeriMed implantable microchip was reunited with their owners.
The FDA has now cleared the VeriMed microchip for human use. VeriMed is the first and only FDA-approved patient identification system that uses implantable Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology similar to the IDs used to reunite lost dogs and cats with their owners in Louisiana. It consists of a microchip the size of a grain of rice containing a unique 16-digit ID number that links to a secure database containing important medical information that you provide.
Every day thousands of patients present to emergency departments unconscious or otherwise unable to communicate their vital medical information. This can lead to treatment delays or medication errors. VeriMed quickly provides the healthcare team the vital information they need to care for you when you may not be able to "speak" for yourself. Think of VeriMed as a lifeline connecting you to your physicians, emergency physicians and your loved ones in the event of an emergency. Most of your local hospitals are currently using the VeriMed system. Please note that the VeriMed microchip is not a GPS tracking device. For further information on the VeriMed product, please visit
