I think creating more accountability within FEMA, and whether or not this reimbursement plan is a good idea, are two different things.
Remember, FEMA has had this vote buying accusation thrown at them for most of the 90's, particularly during the Clinton administration. That doesn't mean reimbursing qualified organizations isa bad thing, it just might mean that we need to monitor it (And supposedly Nancy Pelosi is calling for an anti-fraud commission, or whatever, to monitor what FEMA does).

If the adminsitration had always wanted to make dogfood out of dead people, tis would also be an ideal opportunity. This administration has abused the benefit of the doubt at every opportunity. I cannot imagine why you thinbk that's going to change.

I think my point was that the president has made it a platform issue to revert charity work to localoized, religious organizations since he first ran for president. And people voted for him....TWICE.
I checked the FEMA website, couldn't find any sort of application pertaining to this, but maybe I just missed it.
