Flood Washington

01:00 PM Dec 05, 2005

This week's featured campaign hopes to flood Washington, D.C. with 300,000 emails to Bush--one for every Louisiana resident displaced by Katrina and Rita. Effective storm protection and rebuilding efforts focus on wetland conservation as prevention. From the Healthygulf blog:

A less-known component of New Orleans’ insecurity is the crisis facing our coastal wetlands. Although we know that each mile of coastal marsh diminishes a foot of storm-surge from hurricanes such as Katrina, coastal Louisiana continues to lose a football field’s worth of wetlands every 35 minutes to erosion, jeopardizing the nation’s oil infrastructure, Gulf seafood production, and, most visibly, our coastal cities. A comprehensive plan to reintroduce the land-building power of the Mississippi River into our dissolving coastal marshes has been written, but lies in Washington, unfunded and not prioritized.

The Gulf Restoration Network is a great example of how viral appeal and timing can boost your organization's impact ten-fold.

Our smallish regional organization partnered with DIA in August of this year with grand plans to expand our yahoogroup action alert list to create a tool far more significant and effective. The overactive hurricane season stymied much of our plans, but as we began our rebuilding process it became apparent that DIA could help us capture the overwhelming national and regional support for rebuilding Louisiana and the Gulf Coast, as well as send much needed pressure to Washington to commit to Louisiana's Coast and Communities.

People who have been destroyed by the flood should be given funds to sustain themselves in life otherwise they will be dead in the coming days. It is easy to get <a href="https://assignmentmasters.org/college-homework-help.html/">Assignment Masters</a> online for help in research paper to complete it on time. US government needs to think about it otherwise the government will be criticized by everyone. I am glad that you have raised the voice of those people on this platform.
