Don't Forget Hurricane Katrina and Rita Victims!
Target: 2008 Presidential CandidatesSponsored by: Oxfam America
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!

Its long overdue taking firm action towards the rehabilitation of the cities and families affected by Hurricane Katrina and Rita. Why are we providing aid to foreign countries, when we can't even keep our backyard in order. Giving money to AMERICAN CITIZENS for standing back on their feet again is way more important don't you think. They actually vote for you.

When the levees broke and the waters cascaded through nature sent its devastating message to all of the American people. There is a price to pay to live in harmony with the planet. In this instance it will inevitably involve your wallet and how much you are prepared to sacrifice to prevent another natural catastrophe enveloping your fellow citizens. It also means you have to decide how much are you prepared to help your fellow Americans who have lost everything and whose suffering continues long after the cameras and news crews have packed up and gone away to the next story. I am not a U.S. citizen. I do not have the privilege that is freely given to you. I add my name here to register the fact that the 1,836 fatalities that arose due to Katrina and the 120 to Rita have not been forgotten and also that I acknowledge the emotional suffering and material loss of those who survived the hurricanes continues and will not end until it is addressed by all possible means by the candidates who have put themselves forward to be considered for the highest office in the greatest democracy in the world.
