Urge your legislator to end the bureaucratic standoff preventing the National Commission on Children and Disasters from doing its important work.
Congress created the National Commission on Children and Disasters to find out what went wrong during the response to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, and how our government can do a better job helping kids affected by the next disaster.
But now, the Commission's important work is stalled because of a funding technicality.
Tell your members of Congress to unravel the red tape and get this important Commission on Children and Disasters up and running before another disaster hits.
We took action on “Tell Congress: Untangle the Red Tape for the Kids”!

I want you to untangle the red-tape for the kids because it is not only the RIGHT thing to do but also the smart, compassionate thing to do! These chidren are our future and if you can't or won't do anything to support and help them now- when they need it most- then we are in a sadder shape then I thought!
