On August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina ravaged

New Orleans and forced the closing of our business.

Can you take a minute to help New Orleans and the Gulf Coast? We need as many signatures as possible going to Congress so we can rebuild our levees and restore our wetlands. Sympathy on Capitol Hill is ebbing, and with it, federal funds. The Gulf Restoration Network has provided a website where you can send an email to President Bush and all of Congress with the click of a mouse. (http://www.demaction.org/dia/organizations/GRN/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=1521)

It only takes a minute to sign it and send it to our President and Congress. You just click on the link above, fill in the information, then click on the "Send My Message" button. I hear signatures from non-Louisiana residents are particularly effective, so PLEASE forward this link to as many people as you can.

If you could see the devastation that still exists in New Orleans as a result of Hurricane Katrina, you would understand. It's amazing that a mere 2 blocks from our house (just across the 17th Street Canal), the neighborhoods are completely wiped out and deserted. There's still no electricity in 80% of the City, and the houses are either gutted or abandoned. Rooftop watermarks are still visible, and a constant reminder of the flood waters that stood for almost 3 weeks. All of the grass, plants and shrubbery, and many of the trees are dead. Drowned furniture, appliances, personal items and house debris line the streets like little levees. They are picking it all up and piling it on a 300 foot wide median at West End Boulevard before incinerating it, and we can smell the mold when there's an east wind. It's only a few blocks from our house and I have to pass it every time I go into the City and when I return home. (See picture below) It's particularly heartbreaking for me, since this was the neighborhood I grew up in and still have many family members and friends who lived there and lost everything - including loved ones. While the nation's attention was focused on the Superdome and Convention Center, these people were drowning in their attics. Hundreds of thousands of people are still homeless, and many businesses are still closed. Everyone's waiting to see what Congress will do with the levees & wetlands before deciding to rebuild. Right now, there are only 60,000 people living in the City, and over 300,000 are still displaced. My sister, who lost everything, is living in a FEMA trailer in our driveway - and she's one of the lucky ones. So I'd really appreciate your signing on for the cause - and soliciting any and all help you can from your family and friends! It only takes a minute.

Thanks a bunch,
Eileen
