SCLC: Get troops out of Iraq and money flowing to New Orleans
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The president and co-founder of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference has called on President Bush to get U.S. troops out of Iraq and money into New Orleans to repair damages from Hurricane Katrina.

Co-founder and Huntsville native Joseph Lowery and other officials were in New Orleans yesterday to mark the 50th anniversary of the civil rights organization's founding.

SCLC president Charles Steele Junior, a former Alabama state senator, says New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin asked the group for help.
