Rockey has become the voice of the "average Joe" when it comes to the rebuilding of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast Region. We look forward to finding a home for our film FORGOTTEN ON THE BAYOU: Rockey's Mission to the White House. We are fortunate to have signed with David Garber and Lantern Lane Entertainment ( www.lanternlane.com ) and look forward to showing our film to the world in the near future. We also plan on using the film to pave the way for a potential series for television. Attached is a short 1 minute clip from Rockey's interview on FOX.

Nor can anyone question my empathy for those in the Gulf coast who have been condemned by Bush/Lieberman. However, as much as I revel in bashing Bush et al, let's think through the problem of "rebuilding" New Orleans. This is a city below sea level now and we are facing rapidly rising sea levels in our future due to climate change. Shouldn't Bush be bashed for ignoring the problems of climate change and for not confronting the futile "rebuilding"? No one holds more contempt for Bush/Lieberman than I do.
