This is the first time I've felt compelled to write to my representatives:
"Dear Senator Clinton(Senator Schumer),
I urge you to lead the way in calling for a congressional hearing on the
present disaster in New Orleans and the gulf region and to call for an
investigation into the incompetence of the Federal Emergency Management
Agency. I urge you to call for the resignation of FEMA Director Mike
Brown and Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff . I urge you to
support impeachment proceedings against President George W. Bush.
The negligence, lack of preparation, under funding of valuable resources,
and countless gross oversights which have led to the escalation of the
natural disaster of Hurricane Katrina and to the death of hundreds if not
thousands of impoverished victims will not be overlooked by the American
people. The methods used by our representatives to confront these problems
will be carefully scrutinized. Please do the right thing."
I feel pretty helpless to do anything right now to help(except donate,) so I may as well put my big mouth to use. Every little bit helps. Here is the link: Congress.org
