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!

First, make sure those affected have a SAFE place to reside. Make sure it is stable and that the victims are not forced to relocate every few months. Second, help the rebuilding process. Get involved. And last, do what the government hasn't done and remember the Gulf Coast and her victims.

Just help rebuild... If the college students and just people across the world can do their best to help out then new candidates should want to step up and take lead...

Congress and the President should be embarrassed by their inaction. History will not be kind.
