Bush backs off from screwing wage earners in Gulf Coast region

"Moderate Republicans"...try "Republicans who actually give a damn about people". At any rate, I applaud their effort in this matter:

The White House yesterday reversed course and reinstated a key wage protection for workers involved in Hurricane Katrina reconstruction, bowing to pressure from moderate House Republicans who argued that Gulf Coast residents were being left out of the recovery and that the region was becoming a magnet for illegal immigrants.

I'm sure the folks in the Gulf Coast region are thanking you right now...
