Two years after the devastation brought on by Hurricane Katrina and Rita, the Gulf Coast is still hurting. Tens of thousands still live in temporary housing. Schools are closed. Businesses are struggling.
Continued neglect threatens to leave people poor and more at risk. With politicians are suffering from "Katrina amnesia," the current presidential candidates have a renewed chance to bring the Gulf Coast the help it needs.
Let's make sure the new leadership in the White House recognizes that, even though the issue isn't on the front pages anymore, the recovery is NOT over.
Rebuilding plans must be outlined for the southern states - before the next election.
Join us in asking the 2008 presidential candidates to issue their agenda outlining how, as president, they will recover the hurricane-devastated region!
Dear [Presidential Candidate],
As a presidential candidate, I urge you to show your commitment to keeping America's promise to the Gulf Coast by issuing an agenda outlining how, as president, you will ensure the recovery of the hurricane-devastated region.
