Tell the Candidates: Keep America's Promise to the Gulf Coast

Two years after the devastation brought on by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, the Gulf Coast is still hurting. Tens of thousands still live in temporary housing. Schools are closed. Businesses are struggling. 

With our leaders suffering from Katrina amnesia, the current presidential campaign is our best chance to bring Gulf Coast recovery back into the spotlight.

With your help, we can 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-and we can't yet close this chapter of our history.
